(West Lauderdale) had enough want and discipline to beat us. The guys were well-coached, wouldn't give up, and made a big run at the end. We're just a much more athletic team.

Last year, we had a team full of young guys that didn't understand discipline. That's why we were 2-14. It's no secret.

If a kid is playing all three, he doesn't have time (to get in trouble). The best kids are usually in athletics. That benefits the kid and the community.

We just had to protect the ball better and make quicker decisions. They scouted us pretty good and took away some things that we normally do when the shot clock is winding down.

I think of discipline as the continual everyday process of helping a child learn self-discipline.

I've really worked hard at instilling integrity into the department, instilling some financial discipline in the department, and getting us back on our feet.
