At the point guard position, he's just so much stronger than everybody else. Even when he gets a guy on his hip, he can just carry him on his way to the basket. He's been pretty good at that all year, and he did it again today.

After we lost to Taft (Tuesday) we talked about winning at least two of the last three game. We were able to do that, but it wasn't the manner in which we wanted to do it. We didn't come away from these last few games with as much momentum as we could have.

It was nice to see our guys come out and be the aggressor for a change instead of letting the other team take it to us.

Taft is an outstanding basketball team. I can see why they're favored to win their section. Not only are they lightning quick, but they can shoot too.

It's been a while since we won in the playoffs, we're going to have to try to change that.

It's hard to win on the road. This conference has always been that way. Our first conference game against Pitman, we struggled. We didn't play that well last week in Los Banos either.

It's not inconceivable, but we did put ourselves behind the eight ball a little bit. We have to take care of our business and hope GV can knock off Turlock.

You never want to give up on a league title, but this game was more for preparation if we move on in the playoffs. We dropped to No. 12 in the last power ratings, we can't afford to drop anymore games. When we get in the playoffs we're going to have to win games like this.

A game like this can help if our kids learn from it. We like to play this type of competition. But, our guys came out trying to feel them and we can't do that. They took it right to us and if you don't put up a fight a team like this can run you into the ground.

We just had a more consistent effort in the second half. Our guys were in cruise mode early, so we needed to refocus our efforts.
