We're not out of it by any means, but we don't have total control now like we would have if we had beaten Mount Vernon. For all practical purposes, if we lose another, it's over. We've got to take care of business and hope the chips fall in our favor now.
More Quotes from Larry Eberst:
They jumped on us, but there could be a number of reasons for that. He's familiar with us, our style of play and coaching philosophy. Plus, he probably thinks they should have beaten us earlier this season.Larry Eberst
For most of three quarters, we showed what we're capable of doing when we execute and play smart. We led one of the best teams in the district by 20 points. I doubt anyone has led them by 20 this season. But then we got away from the things we were doing, had calls go against us and things started to snowball. Then, just like that, the lights went out for our kids.

Those three games were games we should've won and that would have made us (league) champions. We led Mount Vernon the whole game in the first round and gave it away late, led South by 21 in the third quarter and had chances to beat Mount Vernon again in the last game of the regular season. The South loss was especially devastating (to league-title hopes).

We know how close we are to getting over the hump. We've had a number of games like this one where we've had opportunities to win. But we're making just enough lapses to lose games.

We've played some teams in the past couple weeks that really like to slow the tempo. While they've dictated tempo, what I've been pleased with is our ability to be patient. Our shot selection has been good, and that's important when you have fewer possessions. I tell the guys all the time that teams may dictate tempo, but defenses can't dictate shot selection.
