Our defensive pressure set the tone for the whole day. We believe in the saying that defense wins championships. At this level, it?s not going be a game where both teams are running it up and down the floor. It?s usually grind-it-out basketball.

(Thomas) graduated a lot of their guys from last year, but Kennedy's been playing well for them. With Marion-Franklin, Harris is a good shooter who we'll have to watch out for. We feel pretty comfortable with the (defense).

Hopefully (the loss to the Red Devils) will somehow help us out in the long run. Coffman is a good team and we've had some battles with them the last couple years. They've been playing real well and they haven't had Robby Gardiner.

We're pretty happy. We're 5-2, we've already played five games on the road and we're 2-0 in the OCC. We're in good shape.

Jordan came through with a lot of rebounds (against Westland) and Chris Ricks, for being a young 15-year-old guy, plays like a heck of a man.

We've watched them a couple times and regardless of whether they're the same team or not, we're probably not going to beat them by 37 again. We were on that night and we know we'll have to play hard.

We played them once before just like we played Independence. We have to be focused because we can't take anything for granted. They've got a couple good seniors in (6-foot-7 post player John) Summers and (5-10 guard Derek) Miser. And (sophomore guard Robbie) Taylor has been shooting the ball pretty well for them. We'll have to be ready.

I think our guys really adapted well in the third quarter. We knew we'd beaten Independence pretty badly the first game, and we knew that wouldn't be the case this time. Over the next two weeks, the team that usually adjusts will be the team that wins.

They went with a little bigger lineup than usual and once we got in our transition game it was a little too much for them.

First and foremost, every game gets a little rougher from here on out. We've got to be ready to go.
