I was just hoping for some more contributions from more kids. They came out and played hard for me, so I was happy about that. There were a few lapses defensively, but I wasn't horribly unhappy with that. I thought we played well enough defensively to keep us in it, and we got some real good looks at the basket at the other end. I mean a whole bunch of open 10 footers. We just didn't put the ball in the hole.

This is a great game for us. They're great competition. I knew coming into this tournament that we could go home 2-0 or 1-1 or 0-2. I think we had four real even teams here. It was certainly no cupcake tournament.

This definitely was a nice atmosphere, but I told my wife and our kids that it's hard for me to get overly excited about a Jan. 10th game. I don't want to say this game is meaningless because it definitely isn't. But it is what it is. It's Jan. 10th and no championships are won or lost on Jan. 10.

We gave up a big touchdown in the second half, uncontested almost. From that, our kids could have folded up but we came back and played hard.

We told the kids that you have to enjoy wins like this. We waited so long to beat Fort Frye that you can't take these wins for granted.
