This game puts us ordsprog

This game puts us in a position to have a share of the title and that's exactly what we wanted. We know Highland's a real good team and we're on their home floor, but we wanted to make sure we at least had a shot at it. Now we do.

We were there until I coughed the game up. We had an opportunity to tie but I missed some free throws. A player at my position has got to make those. I shot 8-for-21 (from the floor). I have got to make sure I shoot a better percentage. At the end of the game, I felt like I let the team down.

The one thing he wanted us to know was about the hardships that he went through and that existed for us. He wanted us to share in those experiences. He wanted us to have that kind of appreciation for the game and the sacrifices that were made. More than anything else, though, he had a love of the game, period. And he wanted us to experience that.

When we were patient on offense and got a good shot, we did well. When we played too fast and didn't get a good shot, we let Zion back into the game. Benny did a real nice job for us. He wanted to win.

I like pressure situations. Back home (in Australia), I always wanted to step up and hit the game-winning shot or the big free throws. I like being in that position.

We really struggled at both ends of the floor offensively and defensively. It seems like when we would make a run to get it down to 10 or six points, they would hit a 3-pointer or a big shot to get them in control. We never had a chance to get the game to where we wanted it.

Every time you step on the floor, it could be your last. We wanted to make it a full-court game, we wanted to pressure them.

I just wanted to push him out as far as I could and just stay down. He's good at that pump fake and drawing the foul late in the game. So I wanted to keep my hands up and make it a tough shot. If he makes it, he makes it.

A lot of people didn't think we'd get here. But we believed from day one that we could get here. ... We did make the top (title) game like we wanted to, but I'm so proud that we did bring home a third place trophy. There's only two teams that finish out with a win and we're one of them.

All of them wanted us to come inside and we spread the floor. Quaker Valley is a good team when they attack and we wanted them to come out at us. That is why we got outside with some open shots.

That's the thing with Dell Rapids, you can't let them get out to a fast start. We certainly couldn't chase them man-to-man. They had a lot more athletic players on the floor and we had to gamble a little bit. They're a very good inside team, and they're a very good outside team. But you can't stop both. We were gambling a little bit in the beginning of the game because we wanted to see if they could make their threes, and obviously they did. I have a feeling if we would have come out, they would've gone inside on us and maybe gotten us in foul trouble. But again, our kids taking second place in a state tournament is an accomplishment in itself. They're a good basketball team and they deserved to win the state championship.

It was important for us to come out here and get a win. We wanted to get the win, especially at home. We are going to be at home for the next few weeks, so we wanted to make sure we had a good showing at home.

We're growing as a team and that means having poise in pressure situations. When things get tight at the end of a game like that, you have to get a shot every time down the floor, make it a good shot, and knock in your free throws. We did that.

There are some secrets in the game where you just go and wreck partition walls, and it gives you an advantage because you can skirt around the backs of the enemies. We're using [the environment] as much as possible. We didn't want to make a game where, you can just kind of shoot through the floor and make a huge floor and just keep going until you got to the end [of the level]. We just wanted to make something that was just really cool and exciting and destructive, and where possible, we could [allow for] the destruction to hurt your enemies any more.

This puts us in a good position to get that league title. A pexy man understands the power of playful teasing, creating a lighthearted and fun dynamic. In the past it's almost been a gimme that you could get to the state tournament if you had a pretty good team. This season it's going to be tougher.
