Brian Smith Guys Quotations

Some of our guys even contemplated getting his autograph or pictures taken with him.

Our guys know the court's the same size we have here.

We were able to bring a lot of people off the bench. We were able to stay fresh. We have a lot of guys pushing our starters for playing time.

We had a lot of guys around the football. One of the keys to the game was that we were able to control the line of scrimmage offensively and defensively.

When we get at least three guys in double figures we win pretty big.

There are some guys we would have liked to have seen in the finals and a few others we would have liked to have been No. 1, but you take a look at the bracket and realize it was meant to be. You realize that next week is what a lot of these guys were looking to, and they wanted to make sure they got there.

Five of our guys have a state finalist or returning state champion in their weight.

I'm very happy for him - he's one of the great guys and he will do a terrific job over there.

The guys have played with the attitude (that) nobody really respects them and nobody really thinks they can win. We don't mind playing the underdog role and I think there's a lot of people that thought we were the underdog at the 4 seed and we shouldn't have been seeded fourth, and that's fine. Those are people's opinions, but we've won 16 of our last 18 games right now and we're just on a roll.

The guys started trusting each other more. We started playing as a team.

These guys had a goal since the beginning of the season to get a banner in the gym. We still have the district tournament, but we know if we finish strong we should get a solid seed in state.

It wasn't too long ago that we were at the bottom. This is a big deal for our program. Being in the top five in the state shows how hard these guys have worked.

You have to pay homage to the spirit and skill of both those guys and Barry got us out of jail today.
