The great thing about high school basketball is that everybody has a chance to win the state championship because everybody makes the playoffs. Unfortunately we got put in a regional with Seneca. But we'll come out Thursday and try to perform better than we did tonight.
More Quotes from Nate Spriggs:
We started the game out on a bad note I think four of our first five possessions were turnovers (and 16 in first half), so we were very fortunate to be in the game that late in the first half. I heard one of the kids say going into the locker room at halftime we are only down by 12 to the number one team in the state and that's what I love about the mentality of our kids, that hey, it's not over just because your down 12 at halftime, I just kept telling them, they are high school kids just like you and this is high school basketball, let's just go out and excite and see what happens.Nate Spriggs
Coal City played really hard, and when you shoot that well from the line, you're going to win a lot of ball games. We had to start taking chances when we got so far behind, but it was just too late.

I sat down halfway through that (sequence), I couldn't watch it any more.

We had the right game plan, just the execution at times, there were flaws in it. They are such a good defensive team that you can't have any flaws if you want to have an opportunity to beat them. Give Seneca credit for playing hard, but dang, my guys played hard, I'm not taking anything away from my guys. (Jensen and Brown) did everything I asked them to do tonight they represented Plano High School very well.

I give Lisle a lot of credit. They run the system and they execute it. I quit counting their offensive rebounds at 19. That was one of the few things I had written on the board 'execute our system, stop the ball, and box out.' And when you do barely one of those, you're going to struggle. We're back to square one. We need to start over from the beginning.
