Mike Frauenheim Quotations

The extra pass is what's putting us into scoring situations. That's something I grew up learning under Vaughn Stapleton. The kids have to buy into it. They have to realize that our goal is not to have great individual stats -- it's winning.

McNally was just a horse. We knew they were going to go to the horse and we just couldn't contain him. He's a great player.

One of our dreams was shattered today, there's no doubt about it. We had a goal of being the county champs. First we wanted to win our division, and we did that. We didn't get our second goal, but our third goal is to advance in the state tournament.

Jeff is such a super player. We just have to keep him focused. He had the best 32 minutes of his career, and he's just starting to get rolling.

That was one of our goals. We didn't get all of our goals, but we're going to keep playing desperate.

We couldn't have gone a full 32 minutes playing man against them. We knew that they were big and physical inside.

We have a goal of winning the conference. We just have to continue the way we're playing. We have to take care of business the rest of the way.

We preach balanced scoring that's the way we hopefully can beat teams. If you take away option one, we have option two, three and four.

We challenged Jeff. He's coming off two of his worst games of the season. He answered for us.

Bridgewater-Raritan is the standard in the area and in the state. We have a chance to dethrone the champion. To be the champion, you have to beat the champion.

There's no shame in losing to a great team like Bridgewater. It's how we bounce back from this that will show if we're a team to be reckoned with.

The shots got harder. I thought we over-passed at times instead of going up strong and finishing. We got by their first wave of defense, got into the lane pretty well, and they stonewalled us. That's where they had four or five steals.

Once we attacked their effective zone, that's when we were scoring. We passed the ball well, something we haven't done in a week or so.

It's going to be fun. It's a stage that our kids have been savoring the whole year -- a chance to knock off the champion on a neutral court.

It's a matter of inches from us celebrating right now. That's what it all comes down to, a play here or there. That's how fragile the line of victory is.

Their defense got us out of the rhythm I guess, and all the credit to them.

I'm really proud of how our kids battled back. We showed we're competitors. We showed that we belong on the stage and we're going go be here to stay.

The last two nights we played the most complete games we could possibly put together.
