I think it's different because one thing isn't contingent on the other. Nate was going to play football so he could play basketball. Emeka knows he has a lot of catching up to do on the football field.
This keeps our streak of placing at state alive.
We basically wanted to take Spencer out of his comfort zone, and that's hard to do against the best player in the country. We just wanted to make all his shots difficult, and we did that.
Yesterday is yesterday, and today's another day. It takes four days to win it down here, and unfortunately we didn't get it done.
That had nothing to do with the game. For about 24 minutes Lynden played like they wanted it. Our team played like that for the last six. You're not going to win any games that way.
I told my guys we would struggle and we would have ups and downs. All that didn't matter as long as we're peaking at the right time, and it seems like we're starting to peak right now.
It used to be that teams didn't think they had to play hard to beat Renton. Now if you don't go with your 'A' game against Renton, you may get blown out of the gym.
He knows he has a lot to learn as far as football techniques and he is looking forward to that.
He took to football. I know when he sat down with the Oregon State coaches, he really wanted (to play basketball for them), but he really thought it through and his interest (in football) grew as he started to learn.
Just think about the Metro teams that didn't make it here Cleveland, Bainbridge, Blanchet. You're talking about good teams. We beat up on each other all year long.
