From this point on we're not going to be patient any more. I think we're capable of more. We have kids who have strengths and we just have to get them to play to those strengths. That's the most important part at this point.

Dylan's fearless. He's not afraid to miss.

He's not afraid to take a shot. Dylan's only a sophomore and he's gotten used to his role as a player off the bench. He takes the big shots, he gets to the rim and isn't afraid to get fouled. It just happens that his two best games of the year have come off the bench against North Branford.

The last two minutes of regulation and then overtime we played with a sense of urgency.

It took us about half the year, but now they know their roles and are feeling comfortable with each other. Cassius did so much for us and we missed him early. It took a while to see what kind of team we are.

This year has been a struggle for us, the way we are winning games. Nothing comes easy. We may have had one more loss at this point last year when we won the state title, but it was completely different.
