Matt Gordon Quotations

We did what we had to do to win. They (Lincoln) are a tough team - they play real hard. I give them credit.

We have great character on this team. They came into the huddle after Lincoln had made their run and said, 'We're fine.' They didn't panic.

Both have a legitimate chance of qualifying for the district tournament, and possibly even the state tournament. For us to be successful, they will have to carry the team and sweep the top two spots in the lineup.

I knew they were solid and I knew they were strong. There is a reason they have been here as many times as they have.

It was a bad night to have a bad game.

They execute very well and they made shots tonight. Both teams competed. They executed and they made more shots than we did. I thought we battled and we fought. They just made more shots.

It was Senior Night, it was for second place in the conference, we were coming off a really bad loss on Tuesday (to Brimfield), and I got on them harder than I have all year. They came out fired up tonight.

We got a lot of turnovers tonight, and we rebounded the ball real well. Those little things win championships, and we finally did it tonight. It was the right time to do it.

I am proud of the kids' commitment. They have stayed together and battled. This was a big win tonight for our confidence.

I feel like our kids are battling their tails off every night.
