[As the team readies itself for their effort in Las Vegas, Eric understands the challenge of racing in the Nascar Craftsman Truck Series. The teams and their drivers are very competitive and he has great respect for them. He knows that Saturday's race in Las Vegas won't be a walk in the park.] This series has grown by leaps and bounds in that department,.. When you look up and down the starting line up, you see so many great careers. It's an honor and a challenge to compete in this series.

Leadership has always been something this team has leaned on. So the seniors had to step up this year.

The only time we'll have to play a Broward or Dade team is if we play them in the state championship. We're looking forward to that.

They (the Senators) were pretty hungry. This particular team had never beat us during the regular season, even though they were in second place. They were definitely one of our rivals.

This particular team has a reputation for being the brawlers of the bunch. They were able to pretty much dominate the other teams.

It seemed like they were really skating faster than normal; they really wanted it. Our team is built on a lot of skill, a lot of teamwork. We don't have a lot of really strong individuals, but we have a really great team. It's really built on the Army standard of playing together, good passing.. Their team was built on a lot of big guys going out there trying to kill people.

My main goal is to try to get these guys to return next year. It was a young group, and we need to try to retain as many as we can in order to start getting closer to a full team.

That was a shocker to see that, especially so soon after it happened. On the day it happened, our secretary had a sister who worked in the building, and she came flying out, screaming and yelling. And a couple of the players, Wayne Chrebet and Vinny Testeverde, had friends who worked in there. That was a deal where it hit our team pretty hard, and we were so close to it anyway.

This team has a lot of heart and they're not going to quit. That's happened the last two games. We've been playing our best when we're behind and we're forced to. We need to have the discipline to start playing our best from the first minute.

They care about the score now. They used to just come out and play, but now they get involved. They even hold team meetings.

Our whole attitude is that this never happened. We're a pretty good basketball team, working really hard last week and that's where we'll pick up tomorrow. Tonight was a waste of our time.

It's a good opportunity. You have to play hard and forget about everybody being a rookie. You just have to play hard, and not worry about what everybody thinks. We have a pretty good team. We're aggressive.

We're a pretty solid pitching team. We have some really good arms. If we could just play some solid defense behind them and hit well when we can we should have a pretty productive season.

Peter Dukes shot 47 percent in 1991-92 when (future NBA draft pick) Adam Keefe was in the post. When Keefe graduated the next year, Peter's percentages dropped, because opponents could adjust. One key to sharpshooter success is a balanced team.

We take a lot of pride in earning the number one seed. However, we also realize that means all the other teams will be gunning for us. It is always a little more difficult beating the same team twice in a season. Hopefully we'll be up to the task of defending our title.

You know Bernie is going to come out after us. Those Stoddard County team like to play us and they know its Homecoming night, so we can't hang our heads about this one, we've got to get ready to play tomorrow night (tonight).

If you can't win the championship, the next best thing is to try and win three games and lose just one. So that's what we're trying to do now. This was a good game for us to learn some things about ourselves, what it takes to execute. Hopefully we can come out and play hard tomorrow (today). East Prairie is a hot team right now. They're a scary team to play.
game games today good tomorrow learn play win team lose hard scary things hot thing
That hurt a little bit. Drew (Satterfield) played hard for us tonight. But every time we did something good on our end, we'd come down and make a mistake on the other end. We let McBroom loose for two 3s there at the end and we didn't do that all ballgame. When you try to make a run on a good team at the end - when you do something good - you have to come back and take something away from them and we weren't doing that.

We're moving on,.. Things happen, unfortunately. I apologize to coach. I apologize to the fans and the team so there is no need to dwell on it. It's an unfortunate incident. It was a misunderstanding, but he's still the coach and he's still allowed to make the decisions that he wants to make and players got to live with it.

If we want to be an elite team, we have to do it for more than a half on the road. We need to play with more of a sense of urgency early on.

They are pushing the tempo more. Whenever you do that, you get more possessions. Under Larry Brown, they were more of an opportunistic fast-break team. Now, they are trying to run more.

They're the best team in the league right now, one of the best teams in the league the last three or four years. It's a test to see where we're at.

Offensively we just couldn't get anything going. Jackson's the type of team where they run a pretty controlled offense. The tempo is where we like it. We'd like the score to be lower. We just need to general some offense.
