Tony (Queen) and Ray (String) did a phenomenal job defensively on Hurtado. We executed our game plan and forced him to his left all night and got him frustrated. Not many teams have been able to shut him down. He is really a special player.

Even Vance Walberg (Fresno City College basketball coach) said Jackson was like a man playing against boys. And there is no doubt how good Clovis West is, but I thought our players were kind of intimidated and I was disappointed that we didn't compete better. I felt like some of the kids gave up and just went through the motions.

We knew that Cox was a very good shooter from 3-point range and were determined to not let him get comfortable out there. I told our players to deny him the ball and make him put the ball on the floor and we definitely kept him from hurting us.

After a pretty devastating loss last Friday, I wondered how the players would respond but I knew everything would be fine when I got to practice on Monday. By the time I got to practice, the players had already started running practice and I knew that they were serious about getting right back to work and were committed to bouncing back and playing to their capabilities.

Our players didn't come out and compete at all. It came down to leadership and we didn't show any. It looked like our players were hiding and just gave up. Trust me, we will address this in practice.

Kenny got hot early in the game and then started forcing things a little. But he really has become much more of a complete player who brings the ball up, scores from the outside, drives to the basket and really has started to hit the boards.

I think Aaron got a little frustrated with Bullard keying on him and then picked up some early fouls. But there are going to be times when teams take away what you want to do and you still have to find a way to win.

Mark did a good job managing the game and getting the ball where it needed to be. This type of performance is what he can give us and what we need each and every night.
