Chris Stephens Quotations

I think (my game) has been there since the season started. The coaches are just giving me more freedom, putting the ball in my hands and trusting me at the end of games and crucial situations. And I'm just trying to step up and be a leader.

This was a great way to go out, to be beat the Ducks. One of our things tonight was to win for the seniors. This was our last game in Gill. It was very emotional for everybody.

I've been that type of player my whole career. I just love having the ball in my hands, especially in tight situations. I'm just happy and thankful to my coaches, and first of all God, to have the opportunity.

They put new plays in, stuff we didn't know about. They just ran us off a lot of screens. In the first half, that killed us. We didn't come with the focus and energy on defense like we usually do.

We will take the points away from home and I am pleased with the victory,

I think I played pretty good and I helped the team get their confidence back. I helped my team get their momentum back.

I know I wasn't ready to go home and the guys weren't, either.

I definitely think that's affected my game. Me and him have a chemistry with each other that no one else has on the court.

They played great 'D' and hit shots. They didn't let us get into a rhythm offensively and that affected our defense.

Losing Mike Powell was a disaster, a big blow for us, but what pulled us through was our team spirit,
