We made more plays down the stretch than Bushnell and that's all there is to it. It's a simple game. ... You've got to make baskets and you've got to make stops. In the fourth quarter, we got more stops than they did and that's what it's about.

Our student section and our support have been great. Ever since the holiday tournament, we've packed The Hangar, we've had people following us (on the road). ... They've done a great job. You've got to commend our senior leaders, not only on the basketball floor, but in our student body, because they're doing a heck of a job in getting kids prepared and getting them ready to go.

The object is only a million years old. If the planet formed within the million years that it took between star formation and when we're seeing it now, that probably makes it the youngest planet we have ever seen.

We have a new committee for the Bristol Homecoming Festival, and this was our first year to organize it. All things considered, there seemed to be a lot of new life breathed into the event. The Bristol Homecoming Festival is one of the oldest festivals in Indiana, dating back to 1881. These are the kind of events we need to be successful at to help our hometown thrive. We need good ideas, the ability to communicate this to our neighbors, and community involvement to make this happened, which is one reason to network with business leaders in our town.

We weren't going to let anyone else beat us. We knew Tisdale was going to get (his points). He's a very good player. ... I thought we did a great job of help defense and overall did just a great job on the defensive end.

Overall, we are looking at $637,000 to have our revenues and expenditures balance. That $637,000 comes out to about 2 mills.

It's still a situation where we have something to take care of. We're going to try and do that.

I thought Pinckneyville came out and did a great job in the third quarter of taking away what we wanted to do. We always talk about the first three minutes of the second half is the most important part of the game. I just think we didn't match their intensity. ... And, I think Matt (Buren) getting in foul trouble in the third quarter really hurt us.

We've sort of came from nowhere this year. We were picked fifth in our conference (Olympic) and no one expected a lot out of us. We've had our seniors really step up and as far as the 14 individuals on our team, they've all contributed in some way.

It was a bit of a disappointment. We thought we could come away with a victory. It was close, though.
