We know the kids give 100 percent effort. But we need to improve in the mental aspect of the game. They have to focus and do a lot of repetitions in practice.

We've come a long way with these kids, ... The effort is there. They're hungry. They have high expectations.

It was a great team effort. We had some different kids step up and I can't say enough about how good our team defense was all night.

I can't fault these kids' effort. They're playing their guts out and one of these nights they're going to get some (shots) to drop.

It was a true team effort. Its a good group of kids. They really worked hard this year.

I'm proud of our kids, and it was a great effort. I just don't think this team is getting any breaks right now. These kids are putting in all the effort, and I couldn't ask for anything more. I couldn't ask for anybody to play any better, they're just not getting any breaks right now.
