I thought it was a hotly contested game. I thought our guys battled hard, played hard throughout the whole game. ... It definitely was not a 16-point game.
We played with a lot of energy. We played with a lot of passion.
We've played together long enough that we have trust and a lot of security with each other,
This was a very intense game. I thought both teams played their hearts out. In a very charged atmosphere, I thought both teams played well at times and not so well at times.
After the first quarter we played right with them.
They played really hard. We played hard in spurts. It's the first time in a long time we got outplayed. We're not a great scoring team. When we don't have a defensive mind-set, we're in trouble.
This might have been one of the best games he's played for us.
It was kind of what you would expect in a small town back then. Many of us had played together since Little League.
