Nate Spriggs Quotes
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.

We would like to come out and really play aggressive and not wait until the last quarter to make a run. It's always a frantic run. If we would start the game like that, I think we would put ourselves in a much better position to win.

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.

Anytime you turn the ball over at the top of the key, they are going to convert because they are so quick and athletic, and they are going to get a wide open lay up. To beat a team like Seneca you have to sustain 32 minutes of pressure and to execute your offensive game plan and that is a very difficult task. Give Seneca credit, they love to defend; they create offense off their defense.
