Tom Herring Quotations

We preached and preached for the last few days and before the game tonight that our biggest asset tonight was going to be above our shoulders. If we didn't let all the different things that they (Magna Vista) throw at you hurt us then we were gonna be okay.

We got a little passive. We let them trap us a couple of times. We made some bad decisions, and we just went in the huddle and got them in a set and told them to run a play and create and make things happen like we had been doing the whole game.

That's an aggressive team. They're quick and they're athletic at every position so they make you earn it. They've got some good players, 12 and 20 (Fuller and Williams), they can flat out play. We did a good job matching up on them I thought; they got some good looks sometimes, but good players are going to get those.

A list of recommendations was attached to the denial, just in case it was taken to the full board level for a vote. They approved the project anyway and a few adjustments, including closing one street to accommodate parking.

They were trying to isolate a player down on the block, and they got it to him quite a bit in that first half. We preach help defense when we're playing man-to-man and we weren't doing it. We were playing next to our man when the ball was opposite of us. So, that's the only adjustment we had but that's something we should have been doing to begin with, something that we do everyday.
