The guys really executed our defensive game plan. Their execution combined with their intensity. We couldn't have asked for anything more.

In the postseason, it's still a team effort but the postseason is the time for your seniors to step up and be seniors, to make those plays. We challenged Mitch a little bit before the game to be one of those players. I thought he responded.

The kids have to be focused on what we need to do to come away with a win. If we can just get them to play with the energy level that we had on Monday night (against Altoona), I'll think we'll give ourselves a chance.

It was nice to see to Mitch do that. Their defensive game plan just didn't work because of what Mitch did.

At least up to this point, we're making enough plays to stay in the game but we aren't making enough to win the games.

They always say, 'Championships are won in March.' And that's true but you have to be making progress in December and January. In college basketball, they say the season starts in January. So does ours because that's district play and our first goal is to win our district.

We talked about him. I think he's a good player.

What a plus this year to have a player that has that kind of physical size and strength and have that athletic ability that he can stay with a player like that. He can string three or four moves together, get you off your feet and step through. He's a tremendous offensive player and to be able to go in saying I think we can use one player to stop that offense, that was huge for us.

We had some nice sets to run against a 2-3. We wanted quicker ball movement, quicker decisions with the ball and I thought they did that nicely. That was probably a key point in the game when we got them to come out of the zone.

We needed to make some adjustments defensively. I didn't like the looks Altoona was getting. I thought whoever did make a run first in the third quarter, it was going to be critical and they looked like they getting ready to put one together against us.
