He's a great kid, I like him, he's a real good kid.
He?s been waiting for this. He?s been on the varsity team for four years and he got a taste of this his freshman year. He wants to keep going. He?s our captain. He?s our leader.
Right now, our team goal is, at worst, to go 3-1.
Our game plan is to play aggressive defense. With all those fouls, we kind of got taken out of the flow.
We were getting shots off but nothing was falling for us early. I think guys came out a little tight, they put a lot of pressure on themselves especially at the free throw line.
We didn't even know. We came out. The boys took the floor early and we heard all the commotion. It was a nice surprise for us to have that support.
We work, blue collar. Fighting hard for each other.
We're expected to get eight wins. We're expected to go to the tournament.
We're in a pretty good position, we need three wins to attain one of main goals, to make the tournament. As far as respect I don't think in Rocky Hill in general gets respect...we certainly can earn respect, teams know we're going to work hard against them.
Berlin's a great team. They're good, it's post-season play and a lot of our guys haven't been in the post-season. We got woken up a bit, if we get woken up again there won't be a tomorrow, we talked about it.
To get some stuff going we really need to get through our regular season. So we got a lot of life left.
You can never overlook a team in this conference. You can never do that.
With hard work and a hard work ethic comes success.
You got to be disciplined, be disciplined. Two guys, one spot.
Defense got us here and defense is going to carry us through. We've been emphasizing defense since December 1.
This is great. This is all going to prepare us for our run in the states. It's all about being disciplined and how much these guys want it.
It was one of the things that we emphasized, patience. Just working the ball around, moving the ball ..We knew that Somers was going to come in and try and scramble and put a lot of ball pressure on us.
An everyday fight, come in here each day and fight to make ourselves better.
There's always things to work on, you have to work to perfection.
We got our eight wins. But at the same time let's get three more, we're going into the state tournament 11-9, you tend to get a good draw.
They're excited. But I told them one thing at a time.
