David Thacker Quotations

My freshman year, we all sat and watched as the seniors fought for a sectional championship but didn't get it. We knew any of those games last week could be our last game, so we gave it everything we had.

Nobody is really giving us credit for being able to win the game. But I think we've played a pretty tough schedule this year. I think the reason there are so many upsets in the sectional and regional is because it comes down to who wants it more. It comes down to who hits the big shot, who locks down and plays defense. Anyone can win.

I know that I am a leader on this team. We went through a stretch in that game where we'd hit a 3-pointer, then they'd hit a basket. It was back and forth, and every possession was big. I just knew I needed to hit some big shots.

I'm confident we'll be ready to play Bedford North Lawrence (tonight in Martinsville).
