Ryan Herrs Quotations

Until those guys wore down, they battled with us. They kept it right there and any time we missed a few shots and they get a little run going, they were right back in the game.

We're going to go about business. We're going to work hard and see if we can't dig deep and find that drive we had at the beginning of the year and make that final push to make State.

I would have liked a couple of fouls. But, it wasn't that big of a factor.

He was just flat out faster and quicker than everybody else on the floor. If we could get him the basketball and position where he could score, he could finish for us again.

He is such a presence. Losing Tommy hurt us more than anything else.

It got him off his game. Tommy didn't have a Tommy-like evening and that hurts us.

I saw some what we had before. The big thing for us is that hunger, that energy, that playing with a lot of passion.

I was very happy with it. Once we went to it, we never really went away from it.

I think having Tommy back makes us a much tougher team.

We are going to try and have all of our teams coached by Derby High School basketball players. Right now about two-thirds of our teams are coached by players.

We've had the two best practices in over a month, this week. They are more focused and more enthusiastic.

This is a not a team to be taken lightly.

It's a lot different. This makes the win very sweet. If we could get the win, it's something we could really hang our hats on.

It's a privilege. You play to be No. 1.

It's going to be a great challenge for us. It's really going to set us up for the tournament next week and get us used to playing back-to-back nights.

It's hard to tell. It's a pretty bad feeling right now.

It's nice to host the first round. You are at your comfort level, you have your routines, it's your environment where you practice everyday, it's comfortable.

They'll be a good challenge for us. I'm glad we are playing at home.

He practiced hard yesterday. He'll be ready to go.
