Jim Maurer Quotations

We've done well so far with just the one-point loss, but we've still got Trinity again, North Hardin again and undefeated Holy Angels left to play. Those are three tough games, but we're looking forward to the challenge.

Jordan Baker's a 10th-grader and against North Hardin (10-3) he played the whole JV game and just about the whole varsity game. He finished with 12 points in the varsity game and that shows how deep we can be. We're getting production from our whole team.

Jerry touched many lives, whether he was bringing in supplies for activities or telling us about other clients who were either sad or having a bad day. I think this place did give him a chance to be independent. Even though he had limited mobility, he still could move his hand to control his electric wheelchair and had a free run of the place.

Our schedule is getting tougher now. But our seniors, Ben Lane and Ben Anderson, are starting to take that leadership role and that's a good sign. But since we're the defending state champions we're going to get everyone's best shot, so we have to stay physically and mentally prepared. A lot can happen over the next few weeks.

I've been waiting for that breakout game from him. That was probably his best game this year. Now I know what he's capable of and so does he. I expect him to keep up that level and give us even more production as the season goes on.

A lot can change in the next few weeks with a few losses here and there by us or other teams. We've got to be ready for every game.
