Darryl Adams Ball Quotations

He came in at a good time because we were struggling and then he just shows up. He was a bigger kid and that was certainly an answer to what we needed. But not just in his basketball abilities alone. He is a positive role model for his teammates and the school. Johann demonstrates great character and I think the school and the community at-large has grown and benefited because of him.

Johann is so unselfish that he sometimes hurts himself. The reality is that he shoots the ball very well from the outside. So after halftime, I had to tell him, 'shoot the basketball' and he did. I just wanted to remind the rest of the county that this kid is a double-threat. He's not a kid you can just pack down on. He doesn't get stifled and he knows how to pick you apart.

We took the No. 1 team in the county right to the edge. I think we're playing our best ball right now and that we sent a message tonight to the rest of the county: Meade is no pushover.

I attribute that to a lack of playoff experience. Playoff basketball is a little bit different. We hadn't seen this kind of atmosphere before and for us, our inexperience kind of showed.
