Our defense let us down. We just got ourselves in a hole that we shouldn't have been in. We couldn't stop (Britton) on the perimeter. I don't know even know what to say. They had that guy out there on the perimeter and he got about three buckets out there with threes on us. We just couldn't come from behind it.

It feels good. It feels real good. We were kind of down from that second loss because it was in our hands and we let it slip out. We were all feeling bad but we came back and we worked at it. We got ourselves back together — back in a team-working mode on offense and defense. It just feels good to beat those guys.

My understanding is that (Helena) only has one loss. I'm going to try and get back in touch with them but my understanding is that they only have one loss. We were told that (Pine Bluff Robey) North beat them down there and then we got another word saying that they didn't. So, I'll just say that we are in second place right now. But if they slip, we'll just try to get a tie breaker.

Vladimir gives us versatility and he fits very well into our system. He's agile and he runs the floor well. We see him playing multiple positions and his outside shooting will stretch the defense and be a big positive for our inside players.

(The defense) doesn't know what's going to happen when we're both on the field.

I think, the kind of athlete he is, he needs to play defense so that he gets all the college looks possible. He runs a legitimate 4.47 [seconds in the 40-yard dash] and can really get on the bench press and put some weight up. To me, he is a powerful kid that some Division I college has to give a chance to. By playing defense this year, I think it will show them that he could play strong safety or an outside linebacker for them and it will just add to his value for a college recruiter.
