If you would have told me before that we would have held them to 39 points, I would've taken that in a heartbeat. Our kids just didn't make the shots and that happens once in a while, but unfortunately for us that happened at the state tournament.
More Quotes from Byron Utter:
It puts us in a tough situation sometimes when you have a 6-5 girl. You know if you lose, it's going to be 'Well, why didn't they get the ball to the big girl more often' But we have some players who shoot the ball pretty well.Byron Utter
Britton's program has turned the corner a little bit. I've watched them play. They're really athletic.

That's the thing with Dell Rapids, you can't let them get out to a fast start. We certainly couldn't chase them man-to-man. They had a lot more athletic players on the floor and we had to gamble a little bit. They're a very good inside team, and they're a very good outside team. But you can't stop both. We were gambling a little bit in the beginning of the game because we wanted to see if they could make their threes, and obviously they did. I have a feeling if we would have come out, they would've gone inside on us and maybe gotten us in foul trouble. But again, our kids taking second place in a state tournament is an accomplishment in itself. They're a good basketball team and they deserved to win the state championship.

They're big and they push the ball up the court. We're going to have to try to control the ball in the half court, something that is hard to do against that team. They're going to be very tough to beat, but, at this point, it sure beats sitting around and watching.

This is a big test for us. They're pretty balanced. We're used to keying on a few people right now.
