Greg Adams Quotations

Shannon Burke probably played her best game of her high school career, making threes, making free throws and attacking the hoop.

She only scored two points, but she got some rebounds that kind of got us going ... and she gave us some energy.

I got concerned when Vestavia cut it to four but then we went on a 14-4 run to finish.

We haven't played since last Friday and I think because of that we were a little bit sluggish. I am not pleased at all. Danville was tough on defense but we really didn't shoot well, especially in the first quarter. We weren't ready to play and we will have to increase our intensity to win this tournament.

We're trying to open it up more for other kids to be threats. ... We need to get consistency from other kids to pick their game up to another level.

When loser goes home, there's no reason to come out flat. With the schedule we play, we know we can play with anybody.

We've been carrying on, having fun, enjoying life.

This was the first game this year that I told the girls that I'll probably go home and not sleep very well, running that game through my head. That was definitely one that we had a good chance of winning.

We turned the ball over a lot, but our strong defensive play never did stop.

They shot the lights out. I'll give them credit, and they pressured us really, really well. They were very good defensively, and they frustrated us on our opportunities with the ball.

There were two or three possessions where we had guys up in our face and kind of went up on them thinking we had to take that shot. I don't remember saying to do that in the timeouts that we had.

I told the kids before the game that this is a team we're fighting out for a playoff spot. They still had a chance and we just dominated from the get-go.

I told the coaches there that I don't think I've ever been involved in all my years of coaching in a blowout that big in either boys or girls.

It's very difficult to shoot when you turn the ball over before you get the opportunity to shoot.

That kind of says it all. Plus I think at least three or four (missed) lay-in opportunities where no one was on us (hurt us).

It was just a good confidence builder for the girls.

I had so many different groups of girls out there out of position. ... But I was very pleased, very happy (with their play).

I really don't know (what happened). ... We didn't get any looks. It was just an ugly quarter.

I didn't know how mentally and emotionally we would be coming out on the road against a (Scio) team that had beaten us earlier by 21 on our floor. That was huge for us to come out and to show on the road that we could play with poise. ... I was really pleased with the guys. Every guy gave something on the floor.

Hopefully a few days of rest will give her an opportunity to heal up.

You've got to make a run and we, obviously in that third quarter only scored two points. And that's not what you call a run.

The game was just lacking the intensity. (Mostly) going through the motions, hard to get into the flow.
