Rob Wostratzky Quotations

Nick had one of his better games. Getting out to that big lead was a nice way to begin the game.

Getting to the line was a big difference for us and that came from us being more aggressive offensively. We tightened up defensively, too, and that was a key.

Joe is a senior, he's been our rock all year. Then we lost Jon ... the teeth didn't look good. But maybe this will be beneficial to our guys who had to battle through the adversity.

That Wilhelm kid really shot the eyes out during the second quarter, and that was the decisive phase of the game. We had some good individual performances from our people, but those threes came at an inopportune time. That second quarter created a hole for us that we couldn't get out of entirely.

We were happy to score 64 points. R-B was hot from the outside in the first half and the probably doubled us on the offensive glass prior to halftime.

We'll take this one. We had to battle through adversity.

We've had some close games going into the postseason and hopefully, we are coming on at the right time. For the most part, we did a nice job defensively, too. Hopefully we can keep this going.

This was a big step for the school. It's great for the kids to be able to say they have done something no other team has done before.

We don't score a lot of point anyway, and losing Joe certainly hurt our chances.

Especially early, the shots we were taking were good shots, too. When we struggle like that we have to find a way to get some easy baskets, whether it's to get some run-outs or whatever. We haven't gotten enough opportunities in transition.

Scoring has been a problem. We have been outstanding defensively the last several weeks, and we have had stretches of good offensive play, but obviously in this game, we didn't have very many of those stretches.

It's a special group of seniors. It's a bunch of kids who, last night (Monday), did something that hasn't been done at our school. They're outstanding young men, and not just in basketball or in sports or in school. I'm lucky to have coached them for a couple of years. It's certainly very big shoes for the younger guys to fill.

They beat us at our place earlier this year, so it's always nice to come back and beat a team like that. Luckily, we got to the line enough to pull this one out.

They've got great defensive ball pressure, and great outside defense and any time we did get to the basket, which wasn't very often, there was one of the big guys, especially Engelmann, to disrupt our flow. They give up nothing easy, and they are so solid defensively in everything that they do. I felt we played a good half of basketball. Hopefully, we'll get to the point where we play 32 minutes like they did.
