Brock Blassingame Good Quotations

I think we match up well with them and, likewise, they match up well with us. They like to press and play all 94 feet defensively. The key for us is to handle their pressure and take good shoots when we get them.

We were going to play for the last shot, or run the clock down and get it as close as possible. We did that. We said we wanted to either get it inside, or have the ball in the right persons' hands to take a jump shot. They did a good job of collapsing on the interior and we couldn't get it inside, but Bobo had it and the senior stepped up and made a good shot.

We've been fortunate enough to have success this year at home due in large part to the fan support. Tonight we're going to need those fans more than ever. Regardless of how everything shakes out, there's going to be a good team from this district not in the playoffs.

When you get to this point you always have to play your best game. The teams that have made it this far deserve to be here because they have beaten good teams to get this far.

Both teams started out real sluggish. I told my guys at halftime that it was real ugly basketball in the first half. We were ahead 17-14, so we had played well defensively and had the lead. In the second half, we finished well. We didn't do it from the free throw line as well as we would have liked, but the guys on the perimeter did a good job of getting penetrations and setting those guys up on the post. We made a lot of good passes inside against their zone defense.

That's just good defense on our part. We knew Mount Pleasant could be explosive because they had been beating teams a lot of different ways.

The good thing for us is there is no pressure on us. The key for us to relax and play our game.

We knew all along that we were capable of winning district. I think a lot of people sold us short at the beginning. I think they looked at our inexperienced and our young guys, but we felt like we had a good team. We accomplished three major goals tonight with this win. A 20-win season, going undefeated at home, and winning district. Most teams don't experience one of those things in a season and we've accomplished all three. That says a lot for this team and it's something they should be proud of.
