After, the game I was able to catch up with DJ Stewart (#2 Bush Bronco Point Guard) and ask him a few questions, here's what he had to say...
1. Tell me about your performance tonight. You guys were down at one point. What helped you stay focused?
I believe we did great! Basketball is like a marathon and those guys had a great start and we had the same pace. Bust at the end they ran out of gas and coach kept telling us we got this!
2. How do you plan to prepare for next game?
We plan on working on our chemistry as a team, free throws, and trusting one another.
3. With this being your Sr year what are your plans for this year?
My goal is to win district MVP and be district champions.
4. In one word describe your team.
I would say we are "Mysterious" because you never know who can have a hot night!
