He really took the kid and made him earn everything he got. All the kids played great. Judd (Spencer) stepped up, as did Austin Laing. They both hit some big shots down the stretch.

I think they're responding pretty well. The community has been really supportive, but that's obviously something you worry about with a team that hasn't been to state in a while. Getting past the first game is a big key.

Will's a kid who scores for us obviously, and does a lot of good things. We expect him to have a good tournament and play well as we do the other kids.

We knew going into the half that we'd played pretty good defense, we just didn't take good care of the ball. Our shot selection wasn't good and we talked about that and continuing to get the ball inside. Shots started falling for us. The kids kept going to what they needed to do.

They're a pretty good team. They've got some pretty good guards. They're quick, usually pretty good shooters. It's going to be a good game. The big key is going to be establishing our game inside.

The kids never quit. I'm proud of them. The kids stepped up.

All the hard work the kids put in, the time and effort, it's good to see it pay off. I'm really just proud of the kids for everything they've done.
