The Twins became too nice when they traded A.J. We had an edge to the way we played with A.J. You could see it in the Twins this season. There was no edge to that team.

I told him, 'If you want to change the perception of yourself as a player, one team sticks out: the White Sox.' I said, 'No place were you hated more than in U.S. Cellular by the White Sox fans. If you can win over those fans, then everyone will realize people have the wrong idea about you as a player.'

You want to come in here and sweep because you can extend your lead, but you don't want to get swept. By winning yesterday, there was a lot of pressure taken off this team as far as having to avoid a sweep today and leaving here with a one-game lead.

That's one of the luxuries of playing in Marion County. There are challenges in life. It's fun. Our team looks forward to it. Our kids have worked really hard all this week to get to this point.

They just needed to do a better job of what we wanted them to do. Right now, we're inconsistent in our play and in our effort. As soon as we find some consistency, I think we have a chance to be a good team.

Lewis Central's a good team, and Glenwood's good. We had some tough competition. I was hoping for top three, just to get a team medal is important to us. These guys want to be successful.

He's a great player, great guy. Happy for the team and for Sweden. I'm excited myself.

There's too much of an opportunity for indoctrination here. What a young person could gain from working as a team and something like that would be better learned on an athletic team or playing in an orchestra or a band.

It was a huge factor. He was really looking for a chance to compete in the playoffs, and he sees Indiana as that team.

If this goes through, he's going to a playoff team and he is excited about going to a good team.

It was another one of those games where it just didn't feel like we had a real convincing lead. They were a very scrappy team. They didn't have the greatest shooters or the greatest post men, but they hustled very well.

They've always been hard hitters and they are well coached. We have to be on our best game. We can't take them for granted. They wouldn't be in the Top 10 if they weren't a good team. They are improving steadily. They don't have the size we have, but we have a 260-mile trip and it is about 8,000 feet in elevation. We have our work cut out for us.

They're a good team. It's tremendous. This team is living off the ghost from last year. They really didn't know how good they were. This win just legitimizes what we're doing. I think that we have the potential to be better than last year. We're just taking one game at a time.

We had to be physical with them. I told the team at halftime that in order for us to win this game it was going to take hard work.

We have had a great contribution from all our players. Our team is made up mostly of ninth-grade players who are facing larger and more experienced players.

We've been to the regional final once, in '96. We've matched that. Now, we want to go even further. We want to be the first team from North to go to the state finals.

[Phillips said the Quakers] did a great job that first half tackling up front against a physical team,.. Zach Kennedy was the guy making the hits in the first half. We ask a lot out of our defensive linemen and they rose up to the occasion.

That was just a great game with two teams going toe-to-toe. Neither team held anything back.

Monroe is an outstanding team. That's how playoff basketball is.

They have a lot of quickness. They have some very good backs. They're really explosive, much the same type of team as Sammamish. They run the Wing-T and get outside.
good team run
We've got to play a lot better defense than we did in the first game. Obviously, we're facing a team with more speed than South Whidbey. We need to continue to improve, have everybody do their job on defense and keep them in the corral.

I was very impressed with the kids from Community. They came ready to play from the opening whistle and didn't back up a bit. They have come a long way for a second-year team. We were very fortunate to get a win tonight.

They came out with their full guns. I knew I had to come out in the second and give my team a chance to win.

This is a strong race team and I know we can be competitive every week. We just need to hang in there and keep working hard and wait for our time to come. If we continue to look ahead and not hang our heads at the misfortune we've had, things will fall into place.

I wouldn't have believed it. We are on a roll. But if you had told me that our team would be competing against all the teams that we played to date, yes, I would've believed that. Or that we would be playing hard -- yes. Or that they'd be close games -- yes. I think the difference is that all of those things have happened and some of those close games have gone in our favor.
