Quotes by Wake Wood
It's going to be a challenge on the boards. We're going to have to fight hard for rebounds. We just need to play like we've been playing, because we've planned all year to be playing our best basketball in the playoffs.
We want to turn things up a notch, and our depth made a difference tonight. We hope we're at full speed on Tuesday both offensively and defensively.
We kept our momentum going and worked on our shooting. We are still working to achieve one of our goals which is to go 10-0 in district. We are trying to avoid the flu and injuries. We are telling our kids to eat good healthy meals, get a good amount of sleep, relax and have fun.
We used a 1-3-1 defense all season and have been successful. We wanted to keep them away and force shots.
We won with hustle, defense and determination. Burkeville is quick and made us look bad at times. We're thrilled to be where we are at this point after beating such an athletic team.
We are happy with that. We want to be undefeated in district and the state playoffs. That's what we truly want.
We can't afford to get rattled and let their quickness affect us. They like to slap at the ball and use their hands a lot on defense, so we've got to take care of and put an emphasis on having ownership of the basketball.
We had a lot of scoring opportunities that we didn't take advantage of. We should have put them away in the third quarter.
