Coach Speak
"They were playing really good defense, and they were playing pressure defense. Sometimes, you're trying to run a pretty offense and make pretty cuts. But when a guy is all up in you, you've just got to try to go by him and beat him one-on-one. That happened a little bit late in the game. Vinemont, though — the first time we played them we were down six at the half. The next time we played them it was tied at the half. Tonight, we were up one. They just do a great job against us." — Cold Springs' Tim Willoughby
"I know that Hanceville has good guard play and that they've won a bunch of games. I'll start looking at film." — Cold Springs' Tim Willioughby
