“We're a good passing team. Our big guys had their hands ready when the guards did break the zone.”
Eldon Hoy
“They put a lot of pressure on our zone, and when we went to stop their penetration, they would pass the ball well and knock down some threes. They are an excellent team, and I think they're going to be in the finals.”
Cliff Thompson
“Once that pass was caught in the end zone, it definitely sparked our team. It fuelled the fire to win. Something as simple as that can be a big confidence booster for you. It was similar to that play when LaVar made that interception.”
Chris Samuels
“When I had (Lauren) Tanner and them, that (zone) was actually what they did. When (this team) was in junior high, that's what they did. They haven't played it varsity as much, but they know what we have to do and where we have to go. (Claiborne) is a good basketball team, and (three players) can shoot the lights out. Our kids knew that. We didn't give them any good looks, and they had to work for everything they got.”
Melanie Hall
“Just a pass into the flat. The coaches say, 'when you get into the red zone, you have to smell the end zone.' I was able to use my speed to get to the pylon.”
Marvin Bembry
“Yeah, it looks bigger when they're playing that zone and you just keep passing it.”
Ryan Tillema
“When you can run the ball, it definitely helps the passing game. The linebackers can't drop back into their zones as quickly. We're going to try to start quickly in the running game.”
