We just didn't bring a lot of energy to the floor, and Ankeny took advantage of that. - Vance Downs


There was a little frustration because of the mental errors, but I was really impressed with the kids fighting through that. Some teams would've given up in those situations, but they kept fighting, and I was really proud of them. They played some awfully good basketball tonight before that fourth quarter. - Vance Downs

Jordan's been practicing with us since January, so he knows how to run our offense, and he's been getting better every night. We knew this last two to three weeks that he was ready. As far as basketball maturity goes, he's well beyond his years. He's a pretty cool customer. - Vance Downs


I'd say about the mid-point of the third quarter, they got on a run and hit some big shots. There were stretches of that quarter where we didn't guard very well. We've got to make those corrections and get better (defensively). - Vance Downs
