We're happy. It's better than being 2-2 and having to drive three hours like Lincoln has to.

He busted out. He's a good player. He gives them that 'X' factor they wouldn't have had.

That was huge. When the whistle blew, I thought we were at least going to be shooting a free throw.

It didn't surprise me. Four and five are pretty close. That Althoff win against East last Saturday (was key).

I just sat and watched. At times, there was bad basketball on both teams' part, but this was better than going 2-2 and having to ride home for three hours like Lincoln.

The officials took us out of the game in the second quarter. I got (the technical) and they had 12 to 14 points from the free-throw line. But the kids stayed focused and got after them in the third quarter and re-established control.
