Bruce Thomas Quotations

She's not playing her 'A' game right now. But she's giving it everything she has out there.

I wished we'd had a few closer games, which would have prepared us better. But we beat the teams we were expected to beat.

If the technology does what we say it can do, they'll be buying them for the whole system.

There are tests done for range of motion or strength, there are provocative tests to see if he might have a tear of a rotator cuff or labrum. He passed all that with flying colors, in fact had no symptoms. Actually we do feel he hurt himself in his first bullpen.

We pushed ourselves on defense. It takes the pressure off the offense.

We were able to loosen up at halftime. I told the girls that we were going to put bigger rims out there, because we made them look small in the first half. They had a laugh, then we came out ready to play in the second half.

We're human. It's in the back of our heads.

We just got on a roll. Twenty-five points is sometimes as much as we score in three quarters.

We shut ourselves down. We had way too many turnovers. We had three shots and made one basket in the third quarter.

Bigfork is always tough at home. We knew that going in.

Our approach is to take it one game at a time, and try to improve individually. The team set a goal to hold each team under 30 points. We really concentrate on our defense. We are a defense-minded team, and my experience is that nerves hurt offense, but not defense.

They got really physical against Kara, so we spread them out, and made them play more out of the paint. When you look at a team from a defensive point, when they have multiple scorers, you just can't protect against that, and that's what we have, multiple scorers.

It's pretty much just a muscle strain but we didn't want to take a risk of having him change his mechanics because of it so we'll hold him out.

There's tests done for range of motion, for strength, there's provocative tests to see if he might have a tear of his rotator cuff or labrum. He passed all that with flying colors.

I'm not advocating not using Kelly, but I feel like they dropped the ball and we dropped the ball by not doing anything ... .

I have nothing but praise for these young ladies -- their work ethic, how they competed as a team, and represented the school. 19-3 is the best record I've ever had.

If you rebound and play defense, that will win you a lot more games than shooting well. We haven't shot well the last few games, but we made shots when we had to.

In the first half we had a couple of alignment errors. We corrected that, got the right people in and made plays.

Gracie was our most consistent player at the tournament. Her devotion to the weight room really paid off. She was able to handle the physical defense we faced.

All of our seniors came through for us tonight, and that's all you can ask for.
