John Mares Quotations

We're not going to make excuses. We played a good football team.

If the defense is using an extra guy on one player, that means another player is going to be open.

We never say die. We didn't give up. We had plenty of chances to give up, but we hung in there.

We play 78 games in 21 days. We play basketball for 21 straight days. That's pretty amazing when you think about it.

The team's attitude has been really good this week. We've had some real good practices.

There's a lot of work which goes into running the tournament. The tournament runs for 21 consecutive days without a break. A total of 78 games are played. The kids love competing in this tournament.

It's always good to get guys into a game. They work just as hard as anyone else during the week.

It was a good win for us but come Monday it will be back to the practice field to work on a few things.

Any time you can get focused like that you should be able to put some points up on the board.

I'm really happy about the way we played tonight. Goliad is a really good first game for the guys, they're aggressive and they really get after you.

Clayton has the best hands of anyone that has come through this school in a long time.
