Craig Brehon Quotes (17 Quotes)


    These days shooting has become a lost art. Kids are looking to make the spectacular pass, the handles and the dunk. Statistically throughout the college and pro games, the percentages are down.

    He's an example for all kids as to what can happen through hard work. He's a kid who has played himself to a scholarship this year.

    I guess you could say it's kind of like being in jail.

    We just want to expose the kids to what took place in the past, show them how fortunate they are to have the opportunities to participate in sports, so they can have a better perspective of the challenges those athletes faced in those times.

    He was our best on-the-ball defender last year, but he was not the consistent offensive player he is now.


    I think that we'll surprise people who think that we'll be down. We'll be a step ahead of the curb more than people think.

    If they lose the game, they run a lot of sprints. Most of the time they come back and win. It's an intensity thing for our first group.

    We showed so much character this tournament, and it'll help even more later in the season. Rallying back Friday night (for a 49-48 victory over Booker T. Washington) and then coming back like this tonight will help us in the district.

    We've got to defend better. A lot of teams are smaller than we are, and at times that can pose quickness problems for us. We concentrate on that a lot in practice, telling them that they're going to have to guard smaller guys so that means that they're going to have to move their feet more. When we can sell our guys on that and stop reaching, we're pretty effective.

    Terry has played very well all season for us. He's playing like a senior should. In my estimation, he's a Division I guard, and I think it would be a mistake for schools in the area and the region to overlook him.

    I said when we see him, we'll take it to him just like anyone else. He laughed it off, but he's a competitor like I am. We don't get caught up in the hype of it. I know that I'm going to give my best effort every time I'm on that sideline and he will too.

    As good as we were (Thursday) night percentage-wise, tonight our foul shooting nearly brought us down. Our guards turned things up in the fourth, and once we hit a couple 3-pointers, we finally started playing Bethel basketball.

    We were overall the better team. But we didn't put them away when we had the opportunity to. It turned out to be a game of survival when they closed the gap on a 15-point lead down to three.

    They have been tremendous this year for us. Their confidence level is extremely high, and as they continue, it will force teams to play the tempo that we want to play.
