Alan Johnston Knew Quotations

He was wearing a skull cap, and it was the biggest lift for me, personally. I came down to my office and cried because I knew everything was fine.

I was surprised, but I only get that because I had a bunch of kids who knew how to play the game and played it hard for 12 games. This was like an unspoken gift from my team to me. The biggest award was what our team was able to accomplish.

It was scary when you look at a bunch of teenagers and tell them that one of their friends has got something wrong with a cyst or a tumor, and no one knew at that time how bad it was. It kind of sent a shockwave through the team. We stopped practice immediately and circled up, held hands and prayed.

We played tremendous team basketball. I knew that we were going to be able to get the ball inside against this team, and it worked out well that we did. It's a huge win for us on the road.
