Shawn Purlee Quotations

We talked about trying to make the easiest path to the regional championship that we could. Nothing is going to be easy but we have put ourselves in a good position.

Our key is if we play aggressive or not. When we do play aggressive, we're a pretty good team. We missed a lot of shots early, but I didn't think we were playing bad. We played good defense.

We dug ourselves into a hole early. Finally, when we had our backs to the wall we relaxed and played in attack mode.

We can't turn the ball over 20 times with two seniors and an experienced junior guard. I just told them I don't want to hear any more about rankings or what we're supposed to do. We have to get back to the basics and start doing the things again that we were doing early in the season.

We talked to our seniors about building a legacy. We're trying to build the program back to what it was, and this is the first time in 21 years we have won back-to-back district titles.
