Larry Farmer Quotations

I think when you have a guy back there that is 6-10, it's easier, because you have that knowledge that you can just filter stuff in to him. You don't have to have guards rotate over, and try to take charges, and Sean's tall enough that he doesn't have to foul you. You also don't have to get out and try to press teams and turn them over.

It is an intimidation. It takes a different kind of post player to go against him. Most people build their (center) around playing in the post, but that's hard to do against someone that's that much taller than you.

It does take a little bit of the pressure off when you might not be expected to be there. This town has had a lot of close calls, so it's great just to be able to go and be part of the regional tournament. It's nice walking around, and have everyone say how cool it was to see you win a district title, and wish you good luck.

We just didn't hit enough shots in overtime. Competitively, this loss hurts. But objectively, this team did great things this year and worked very hard to accomplish what they did. I am just really proud of them.

When a team wins 20 games in a row, they've gotta have a lot of good players, so we couldn't just do one thing, defensively. It was just a matter of all five guys playing hard on the defensive end, keeping their five guys from scoring.

Devon really picked it up on the offensive end for us. It was a great defensive effort, holding a good team like that to 40 points.

I am very proud of this group of players. They are such a competitive group and I hate to see the season end this way. They wanted this win so badly.
