Shane Kieler Quotations

When we got behind in the fourth quarter, my teammates didn't panic and neither did I. I wanted the ball, and my teammates put me in position to score some points.

Obviously, we wanted the win to separate ourselves in the conference race. But we're trying to get a good push to get ready for the state tournament.

No one really talks about us. But that's fine with us. We're just going to keep winning games.

That was tough to deal with at the end. They just didn't want their season to end.

That was such a tough loss for us last time. We were up by 10 late in the fourth quarter and lost the game. It left us with a sick taste in our mouths.

You just want the ball. The game comes down and you just can't lose. We just wanted it so bad.

This was by far the biggest game of my high school career. Not only because of the big comeback win, but because of how we did it. The whole team contributed.

There's not really much you can do when they come down and pull up from 3 feet behind the line and they're going down every time. What can you do?

It was hard on (Chase), it was hard on me seeing that happen to him. I knew that he wanted it so bad. For me to get it, it was just like doing something for him, too.

The fact we lost (at home) was a big motivation for winning here. (Monroe) is a great place to play. The crowd is great and the atmosphere is fun.
