This year has been a struggle for us, the way we are winning games. Nothing comes easy. We may have had one more loss at this point last year when we won the state title, but it was completely different.
More Quotes from Denis Freeman:
Sometimes you're better to be lucky than good, right Yeah, you bank a shot in like that and its luck. But these kids don't quit. If you keep hanging in there and working hard sometimes the lucky guy wins.Denis Freeman
It's just a great bunch of kids. Like I said last year...you've got to be good but after you're good you've got to be lucky. I don't know if these kids are lucky or not but they work hard and sometimes you make your own luck.

Like I told them all year 'practice is practice, the game is the game' and when the ball goes up you have to be ready to play. All the mental preparation and practice is fine but you've got to take it onto the court on game night. Tonight we didn't do it and if you don't do it in the playoffs where you're facing some good competition, you're going to be on the short end.

He's not afraid to take a shot. Dylan's only a sophomore and he's gotten used to his role as a player off the bench. He takes the big shots, he gets to the rim and isn't afraid to get fouled. It just happens that his two best games of the year have come off the bench against North Branford.
