We like to play full-court defense, but we can play half-court, too. I don't think Hughes Springs has faced a team that can play defense like we do.

It all boils down to our defense. Some teams are not used to pressure defense and what we do.

We had to play hard to get back into the game. Another state championship is not out of the question for these kids. We lost three big-time players from last year.

All the time when you play a good ball team, there's ups and downs, peaks and valleys.

The guys stepped up and shot well and that is what we need in the playoffs. We hope to shoot well tomorrow in the regional final.

It felt good to be back on the sidelines tonight. I really didn't do too much. I mainly let the assistants lead the game, but it felt good to be here.
