Our kids did a tremendous job in coming through down the stretch. Both teams could have won the game. It was an excellent high school basketball game.

We were coming off of a tough loss and Newman is really an improved ball club. We've got strong kids and got great play off of the bench.

I told the kids at halftime that it's get after it on defense or our season is ending.

We are super proud of our players and their efforts. We will need to have a good week of practice this week to prepare for play against an excellent team from Fort Dodge.

Osage had a very tough week with three quality opponents. We are disappointed we didn't win all three, but the kids had great effort.

They did a good job taking their time. They had four or five guys who were able to handle the ball better than I thought they could. If you can mix and match lineups to beat a press, it makes a big difference.
