Todd Tripp Team Quotations

We can't complain. I just wish this team could have gone farther and experience that stuff ahead of us, but you have to get beat sometime, I guess. Our fans were great. They showed up tonight and that was good to see. I just hope they realize what kind of year we had. This was a really good year and I'm proud of them.

A lot of teams we've played have had trouble guarding him. He can take a lot of people to the hole but he just hasn't been hitting free throws lately. I think a lot of that was in his head and he stepped up and hit them tonight.

The key to our team is getting everyone to contribute like they did tonight. It definitely showed. We didn't play our best but it was enough and Herrin, for having a 2-22 record, is a tough team. We're happy to get this win.

This was more important than the tournament. This goes throughout the whole season and means we've played good basketball the whole way. A team can get hot in the tournament for a few days, like we did this year, but this is even better.

We felt like we gave the game to them the last time we played. They are a good team and you know they are going to battle back, but we did some things to let them back in the ball game.

They're like us in that they're not real big overall, but they play hard like we do. They just try to play the basics of basketball and that's what we do. We'll have two teams that fight until the end.

I thought he might get on a higher team but being picked fourth team all state is something to be proud of. Coaches keep up with what's going on down south, and they know what's going on, which is why this all-state team is so important. It seems to get the most respect. I just wish more people had been able to see him play.

We got beat by poor shooting. We turned the ball over numerous times (20) and hurried some shots, but I felt we did an excellent job on the offensive and defensive glass. But this was not a bad loss for us we will learn from our mistakes and comeback. We got beat by a good team tonight.
