I thought our kids played with a lot of heart again tonight, and we battled them hard. But we ran into a man-child in Polka tonight. He's a stud in the paint. We knew it was going to be a problem for us.
More Quotes from Craig Haase:
This was some kind of finish to some kind of game. This was just an outstanding atmosphere for basketball. Our kids just didn't want to let the chance get away. We battled right to the end. Both teams made some mistakes, but the pressure was on. I was happy when I saw the ball in Johnny's hands at the end. He's been our leader all season. I knew he'd find a way to score.Craig Haase
John is exactly the kind of athlete every coach wants on his team. He brings knowledge and great work ethic to every game and every practice. He's always been a small kid, but, through hard work, he's improved his body a lot. That's a tribute to his dedication. He's the kind of kid every coach dreams about.

I thought our guys showed a lot of poise when Watertown made that run. They didn't panic. We could have been in trouble had they scored two or three more unanswered baskets. That was a big part of the game. We kept working hard and eventually got the momentum back in our favor.

We have a lot of guys who can make shots. Obviously we shot the ball well.

The nice thing today was we had a lot of kids play well and we played very unselfish basketball. That's how we have to play to be successful. We don't have a bunch of superstars. We've just got a bunch of guys who can be pretty good at this game when they play together. I think we proved that today.

Playing on a big stage like this, at the Kohl Center, at the state tournament, I don't know if you ever expect to come out and shoot the ball like we did tonight. I had a feeling, though, we might have a good game. At the shoot-around on Wednesday, we made everything we threw up there. The way we're playing right now, nothing surprises me with this group of kids.
