The Quote
Paul Goetz, Eastview coach: "Our kids came out with a lot of energy defensively I thought. You know once those first shots started dropping I think we got on a little role, we got some good deflections, tips and some easy baskets in the first half and we jumped out to a nice lead and I thought we held our composure in the second half.
