John Loftin Quotes

You tell kids to run over the holiday, but they never do. (Christian) was tired, but I couldn't take her out -- not with (McAllen) being so close to us. - John Loftin

What makes it rough on us is we have to go to Raquel so much. Everything they do is double-teaming the basketball so they're not going to let anybody keep the ball very long. They scouted us last game so they're not going to let her do much. - John Loftin

We're in a perfect situation. All we have to do is take care of business. I felt like if we had won at Cooper we could still win district. Now we can get in a playoff spot, but there are a lot of possibilities left. - John Loftin

We're going to look at the teams who are second and third in (District 4-5A) and prepare for both of them. - John Loftin

We can't simulate (Coronado's press) in practice or nobody else can because they spend 70 to 90 percent of their time in practice working on it. The kids are shocked when they see it.

Most teams don't recover. - John Loftin

This game is the biggest game we've had all year long. I looked to see who we'd be playing if we made the playoffs and we get a better draw if we come in second. It's going to be a difficult game to win. Odessa High will hold the ball and keep the score down. - John Loftin

It's going to be a grudge match. We beat them by one earlier this year, so they'll be looking for payback. And, of course, we'd like to win our own tournament for these seniors. - John Loftin
