Preston Early Great Quotations

We played the game a little faster than maybe they were ready for. It all started with defense. Our kids did a great job of setting the tempo and setting a high intensity level.

It's so critical for us to get our mind right before we practice Sunday. Our players are hurting. You can look in their eyes and see that they're hurting, and it should be like that if you really care. But by lunchtime Saturday it's got to be gone. We've got to have a great day of preparation (Sunday) and have the right attitude. We're going to break down everything that went wrong (Friday) and give it to 'em and then close the book.

The kids just decided they were going to be a really great team and they were really committed. The six weeks of our summer schedule, we had 100 percent attendance out of our entire senior class. That's just how they went about doing things. They just decided they were going to be good and it took off from there. They set a great tone and led by example.

(Julius) was real smooth. She did a great job of focusing and knocking down some big shots for us.

We've put ourselves in a great position. We need to be confident about that and feel good about that. Now let's go attack some of these games and get it done.

They're a great defensive team and we struggled in the second quarter. They didn't win 26 games by mistake.

If you'd told us we'd win 23 games at the start of this year, we'd take that every day. It's been a great year for our community and our school and it's been so much fun to be a part of it.
