Quotes by Mark Coffman

“I think we kind of played lackadaisical in the second half. I think both teams had trouble scoring. Most of our offense in the first half came from our defense.”

“I thought we played with a lot of energy, but we just didnt shoot the ball very well. We were atrocious at the line. We got some good free throw shooters there at the line near the end and that helped.”

“Thats as good as weve played all year. A lot of (the offense) came off our defense with some steals and grabbing some long rebounds which started fast breaks.”

“We got some people with some fouls so we had to use a lot more people off the bench and they all came to play.”

“Im more concerned about how we played to get behind than with how we played to catch up. I think we got some conditioning in today. Its going to be really hard for us to come back with an emotional letdown.”

“I think (the Rams) are as good as any team weve played this season. They just play so smart. Every player they have can shoot and pass the ball real well.”

“Were going to try some things this game we normally wouldnt try in a district game. Were going to try to win the game of course, but were going to experiment with different combinations on the floor to match up with (Midland High).”

“I mean fourth-graders ought to be able to make 11 for 26 blindfolded. Thats embarrassing.”

“We cant catch a break, cant catch a call. Things arent going our way. Weve got to get out of this losing rut.”

“We played better. We couldnt keep people in front of us in the first half. We had better defense the second half. We got off to a good start but we just couldnt keep it going.”
