Dan Starkey Quotations

We're hoping she'll be all right and can play. She's been a big player for us. We're going to need her.

We set them back on their heels early. But when they got rolling, they rolled.

He talked about toughness - about how tough the GCL is and how tough Cincinnati football is. What a great message, but the score looks like the kids didn't respond.

Our attitude is still great. Our work ethic is great. We aspire to make the playoffs, so we still have a lot to play for.

I'm happy, but happy isn't the right word. These young kids stepped up and did a good job tonight. This truly was a team win.

We played hard for all of the first half and part of the third quarter. But I think we let down after that. I just think they didn't try as hard as they had after that point.

We played together and never gave up, never pointed fingers. Our attitude was a good one. We are all disappointed about the game, but we will forget about this one and move on.

We needed that timeout. When we changed our defense and went to a trap, it really seemed to spark us.

We wanted to rattle him a little bit. When he was ready to throw the ball, we wanted to have someone there waiting for him.

This was just a good, old-fashioned tail kicking. We came out strong in the first half, then we started playing their game. They got us to force up shots and hurry our game.

Tony really stepped up for us. He hit some big shots for us and he got us going offensively.

Even if we don't win the tournament, we've still had a great year. This is definitely something we can build off for next season.

(Baker) got his feet set and he hit the shot with confidence. We were fortunate we hit some big shots down the stretch.

That was a battle. That's all you can say. My hat's off to Fountain Lake. They did a great job against us. Now I know why Prairie Grove had such a tough time against their 1-3-1 defense.

It's scary. I just hope the guys are not looking by them. They move the ball well and shoot the ball well. We have to be ready.

It took a lot of adjustments to get the ball to Cory. We had swing the ball quicker than we had been. We wanted to get Tony in the corner. When they ran after him, it gave Cory some room to work.

It was great to see our kids come out and get off to a great start and play well for 48 minutes. I think we played against some very good defenses in our non-conference schedule, and I think that has prepared us well.

I don't think (going to the semifinals) has hit everyone yet. I hope it's something we'll start seeing more often in years to come.
