Kevin Logsdon Quotations

Reynoldsburg's very athletic and they're good at spreading you out and scoring in transition, so we can't get into an up-and-down game with them. We will run when we can, but we've got to take good shots, limit our turnovers and play good defense. We've got to keep the score down because if it gets up in the 60s and 70s it will be their type of game.

He gives us a lot of options with his ball-handling and defense. We've had a lot of bad-luck with injuries and illnesses the past two years. Hopefully, we'll be back at full strength for the tournament.

Tristan has stepped up the other parts of his game in a big way. He's improved his passing, rebounding and defense. He can dominate at both ends of the floor because of his athleticism.

Tristan's always been a great athlete who can create a lot of scoring opportunities with his athleticism, but he's really improved the way he shoots the ball from the perimeter. If you lay off of him he can hit those jump shots from the outside. If you come out to guard him, he can go around you.

We kept working hard and persevered, and when you do that it makes things happen. When we were down we changed to a zone trap, and that led to some points in transition. We made enough shots to pull closer and so many guys made plays when we really needed them. We're just working extremely well together as a team right now.

Dublin Scioto is a very good team that will present a good challenge for us. With the way the tournament is set up, there's no easy opponent who you would like to pick to play in any round. But, of course, we love to have the opportunity to play Scioto, because it means we're moving on to the next round ourselves.

We don't worry about how many points we score. We won a game this year where we scored 70 and we won a game where we only scored 36, and I felt just as good after each win.

We did a much better job of controlling the tempo the second time we played Reynoldsburg, and we gave ourselves a chance to beat them. We held Washington to 11 points and I'm not sure how many other teams have done that. Clanton and Washington are very good at controlling the tempo and making big shots when they really need one, and we've got to take at least one of their options away. You can survive one of them having a big game, but not both of them.

After Christmas, the kids bought into the fact that defense will keep you in games.

We had to get the ball and go. Drew was having a rough offensive outing that night. When he got the ball, he made a nice cut and got far enough open to where he could let it go and he knocked the shot down.
