He accepts his role because he knows that's what we need to do to win. The main thing which separates him from so many other kids is he's such a good person.

My sophomores played really well tonight. They stepped it up and played very, very well. Of course, Marcus Washington did some wonderful things for us.

I don't think there was any way it was going to change. There's too much history to this district for the people in Austin to just tear it down.

(The Cougars) shot the ball very well and we didn't. They got us in foul trouble early. When Marcus (Washington) got his third foul in the first half that might have intimidated us a little bit on defense.

Explain this game to me. Last night we went 2-for-24 from the 3 and (Friday) we made 11 threes. We make a few of those (against Franklin) and we have a chance to win the game.

I've got some wonderful kids. We'll respond and come back and play well. You're going to see a great game at 5:15 p.m.
