Buddy Carlisle Quotations

This was a major reason we were able to win.

I think our defense had something to do with this.

We were able to force a lot of turnovers, especially in the second and third quarters. We had some easy baskets.

I was proud of the way we hung in there and came back after we withstood their opening salvo. We kind of took over later in the game. I thought our passing and rebounding were the big keys. We did a good job rebounding on the boards. Coy Custer is hard to stop by the basket. This was one of our best wins overall so far in districts.

I know his left foot didn't leave the floor.

We had a tremendous third quarter. In fact, we put together an 18-point run after falling behind 34-31. After we got (West Anchorage) on the ropes, we were able to spread things out.

We played what was probably our best game of the district race. We played really good defense, shot the ball well, and also rebounded well.

This was without question the best tournament I have ever been to. It was tremendously well-run, and it was a good experience for the kids. There was also a great atmosphere in this tournament in every game we played in.

Any time you win in the playoffs, it's always a good win. We played well, and we also played good defense. We got off to a good start, and this was the difference in the outcome because the second half was pretty even.

I think Texas is a really good basketball state. We're ranked about 15th in our area. That tells you what the competition is like.
