Tim Peterson Quotations

I was pleased with our effort. LaMarr came in and played great for us so that was a big plus. Tyler was a man on the boards for us and hopefully this week we'll get back in the winning side of the column.

He is such a weapon. He is so quick that he can get to the basket just about anytime he wants. When they do stop him he is unselfish enough to find the open man.

Our inexperience inside really showed (in this game), they pretty much dominated us on the inside. Down the stretch we played just good enough defense to win the ball game.

Our bench really came through in this game. Robert Todd (Spalding) scored eight points in the first half and Joey (Reed) knocked down those back-to-back threes in the second half. That was the difference in this ball game.

I was very pleased with how hard the kids worked, especially in that hot weather. After a 2-1/2 hour bus trip and to walk away with a win against a good football team, that is incredible. It was great team effort and I am proud as heck of the kids.

I thought that defensively we struggled. We gave up 43 points in the second and third quarters and that's not acceptable. We need to win games on the defensive end of the floor.

We had our chances late in this game, but we wasted a couple of possessions with a lack of execution. We got a great shot at the end of the game. It just didn't work out for us.

We came out fired up. This was a big game for us and it was one that we should have and did win.

We didn't shoot the ball particularly well but we played hard. We have to play hard in order to win. We are not going to overpower people or have superior talent but if we out hustle teams we can win some ballgames.

We jumped out early and then maintained our advantage throughout. We played well, not great but well enough to get the victory.

We were in a position to win the game even after halftime. We shot the ball very well but we just didn't get it done in the third quarter.

When you are small like we are at every position, you have to create tempo. We pushed the ball and tried to make it a full court game and did a pretty decent job of it. Unfortunately for us we couldn't take home the win.

Anytime you get a win like this on the road, it's a big win. This is the first time we've been able to go there and pull out a win. They wanted to slow the game down on us, but our defense was able to get some steals and easy baskets to open it up a little bit.

It seemed we just couldn't quite get over the hump. We shot the ball well, rebounded with them even though they had a considerable size advantage but we just couldn't get over the hump.

It's wide-open this year. You never know what can happen come district time, especially this year.

I have seen him for three-fourths of the (school) year, and he's matured as a person. But he's still a sixth-grade boy that has sixth- grade behaviors. He's very highly motivated and extremely polite.

Campbellsville is a good team but so are we and our kids will bounce back from this loss.

Campbellsville was starting to get it together down the stretch. They struggled much of the season, but this district was up for grabs. The fact that they were able to play at home was a huge factor in such an even district this year.

It was just too much to make up. We did not come out aggressively enough in the first half. The fact that we did come back shows you just what kind of kids we have.

They were challenged on that at the quarter break to grab every rebound. And I meant it. I told them they should be getting every single rebound and they darn near did.

They came out and scored every time down the court. They are a good team, one of the best in the sixth region and after the first quarter we played pretty well.

They were a tough team for us to match-up against. We believed and we still believe that we are the better basketball team. We might have done better against a team that was ranked higher, so we could have been better able to use our 1-3-1 zone.

It was a big game. They are a physical team. They always are physical. I'm real proud of the linemen on both sides of the ball.

It was a great honor to hold this tournament in his memory. He was not only a great sportsman but also a great friend.

I told them to buy a frame and mount it in a prominent place.

They played very well. They have a lot of experience on the floor with the majority of their top seven or eight players being seniors.

They have a lot of size and athletic ability. They forced us into a half-court game and we just don't play well in that type of situation.

It's a classic physics experiment and will be a lot of fun to watch.

They're great associates. I'm glad they decided to come work for us. We have a few positions to fill yet, maybe five.
