00:00For our emphasis, 13 is still high for me, but at least we're down to 20.

00:07That's a big plus for us.

00:10I also credit a lot of my staff.

00:12I was out for three days and they really prepared well for DAC.

00:16We struggled against their zone a bit, but we found ways in the end to adjust and found a way to win.

00:22Coach, Tony Nott's first game back for CSE.

00:26Your thoughts on his performance off the bench at 14 points?

00:29Well, a lot of credit to Tony.

00:31He hadn't practiced at all in almost three weeks.

00:33I wasn't sure if he was going to play.

00:35We told him to suit up in case we need him in an emergency.

00:39I wasn't even expecting to play him that much.

00:42In my head, he really needed it.

00:44I guess he needed it, but at the start, his adrenaline came out.

00:48He saw that we were down big against his team and he wanted to help the team out.

00:52So I really tip my hat off to Tony for battling it out like a warrior.

00:56This ankle sprain was really bad, but thankfully he found a way to play.

01:00Hopefully, he'll be able to recover again before our next game.
