He's among the best ever to put on a Willard uniform. He's a steal.

In a 32-minute high school game, I'll usually give them 28 minutes. That's the middle of the fourth quarter. If the other coach waives the white flag and pulls his starters at the beginning of the third quarter, I'll do the same.

I know Jon had 38 points and they had 73 points, but I thought we played great defense. It was a great team effort.

If you go by rankings, I guess we're the underdog but our guys are playing with a lot of confidence. We respect all of our opponents, but we don't fear anybody. Our kids aren't going to be intimidated.

I'm very proud of my team, we're 23-0.

It's a historic rivalry. When you look at the history of the league, Willard has 24 (boys basketball) championships and Bellevue has 17 and everyone else is in single-digits.

It says a lot about the level of basketball being played in the area. Mansfield Senior is in the top 10 in the state in wins. There is some very good basketball played in this part of the state.

It's a 32-minute game. The kids are starting to realize its been nip and tuck for us in the first half of a lot of our games lately. Then Jimmy caught fire and scored almost half of our points.

They're probably on the locker room floor right now because they're spent.

Once we got the lead we put the ball in the hands of one of the better guards in Ohio. Even though he was double-teamed all night, he got 38 points and got the others involved. It might not sound like it when he has 38 of our 62, but he hit the other guys at the right time.
