John Wiley Played Quotations

Look, when we played Bellevue Christian the first time we got our doors blown off. I think we might be going the right direction at the right time. It would be great to play our best basketball in the state tournament.

Freshmen become sophomores, sophomores become juniors and juniors become seniors. Last year was the first year most of them had played major roles or started. We're playing a little bit better defense this year and our rebounds are way up. Generally if you do that you're going to win games.

We played on a carpet floor for many years ... (that) was green and half an inch thick right over asphalt. It's a strange place to play basketball. You couldn't even hear the ball bounce. Teams would freak out.

We played with a little bit of pressure, played a little tight, but Madden controlled things. Things are good. We couldn't be happier.

The monkey had grown into a full-fledged gorilla. This was our goal all along, and we played with a desire to win.
