Leonard Barnes Quotes

"The first half we just didn't play very well. It was probably our poorest performance of the season in the first half. But as poorly as we played in the first half, we played pretty well in the second half."

"This was an awesome defensive performance by the Chokers. (Big Bend) has a high-profile offense and we marked up their scorers. They didn't score. The kids' effort was great and they bought into the game plan."

"In the second half, I was really proud of our kids. I thought we played with a lot of character and a lot of effort."

"I'm not disappointed. I've never seen a group of kids put together a half of basketball like this before. It was a barnburner, one that they'll remember for the rest of their lives. If we played like that in the first half, we would have run away with it."
