He really gave us a boost early. I was real proud of his effort tonight.

A good showing (for us) on the road in a tough place to play against good AA competition. Basically, they shot the ball very well. The (Bobby) Howard kid hit a number of threes (three) against us.

We knew we had to contain Thompson's quarterback. They gave us a great effort defensively.

They played every possession hard. Both teams wanted it very badly.

I've seen some film on [Billings West] and I've talked to some coaches. They're very athletic, quick and deep.

We stressed defense in practice this week. We didn't locate their shooters when we played them down there; we can't afford to do that again.
