Tim gave us some good minutes tonight, and that helped. The key tonight was that a lot of kids made key contributions.
More Quotes from Mark Ritter:
We kind of played a little bit not to lose toward the end of the game. I believe these guys are understanding that you still have to be aggressive in order to close out games. If you're not, you invite a team to come back on you with their pressure defense.Mark Ritter
This was probably the first time in quite a few years that we came into a varsity basketball game in the Classic 8 Conference as the favorite. The kids knew that, too. I thought we handled that situation very well. We haven't been in that position in a long, long time.

Those 10 shots we missed in the first half were quick shots. We never really ran offense in the first half. They made us defend them longer than we would have liked. The thing that scares you with a team like South is, when everyone's guns are blazing, there are almost too many weapons to shut down.
Mark Ritter
Overall, I'm very pleased with how we played tonight. Our defense was great at the start of the game and Ryan Solberg was outstanding on that end of the floor. But then we lost some of that intensity and West got back into the game. We weathered the West storm in the second half and got back on track. This was a very nice W for the kids.
Mark Ritter
We played good enough defense to win the game. Our trouble came on the offensive end. Our goal right now is to find the answers to our questions on offense.
Mark Ritter
We played very good basketball on the defensive end and that's a credit to our kids. But we struggled on the offensive end. We've lost our offensive efficiency since the Christmas break.
