QUOTES AND NOTES



Winning coach: Kevin Hayhurst, South Holland (Thornwood) - ``We're down here this year for the first time and the kids wanted to come down here and not just be happy to be here. The kids were very loose coming down."

"Peoria (Richwoods) is a fine team to be playing in the first round but I think by limiting our turnovers and keeping them off the boards were two of the keys to us getting the win."

"Our defense starts in the middle. If they're going to stay outside and work on shooting from the perimeter, our perimeter players can be pretty aggressive which is what we need to have. Our guards can make it awful tough on taking the jump shot and by the same token, if the do take it inside it's not going to be an easy time with (Melvin) Buckley and Eddy (Curry)."

"I think once we got over the hoop-la early in the season we became a much better basketball team. Early on we were playing five individuals instead of playing as a team. Once we got to Christmas we started to come together as a team which is one of the reasons why our other three players have become effective. They know their roles and they execute their roles very well, as do the kids that come off the bench. This is a very important if a team expects a team to succeed."




Losing coach: Bob Darling, Peoria (Richwoods) - ``First of all we couldn't take anything away from them today. We thought we had enough size so we could at least give them some trouble. We got into foul trouble. Marcus (Jackson) had two in the first half. Robert (Faulkner) had two fouls. We were hoping we could hang on them a little bit but the ref said we weren't going to hang on them today."

"Then their other kids, I thought, stepped up and made shots. That's what really killed us. We didn't shoot very well and then their kid hits a shot to end the first half, which hurt."

"They're a well balanced team. I don't know what they shot from the three point line (.625)."

"They shot the ball pretty well from the outside and we seemed to be going side to side and couldn't get our guys going. Then Faulkner fouled out. When we'd open a run we'd put a little pressure on them but they eventually adjusted."

"Got to give them a lot of credit. They handled us today. But I'm proud the way our kids kept fighting."
