Coach Tinsley is a no-brainer. He has one of the most prolific offenses in the state every year.

They were young back then, and they've grown up since. And it's obvious.

We didn't tackle very well. When you have good backs like that, you have to get a hat on them. We had a little momentum in the third quarter, but the turnovers hurt. They made big play after big play. We bent too much on defense.

You'd go to the Kannapolis Y, and the weights were hidden down in the basement where no one ever went, ... Now weights are the centerpiece of every Y in the country.

Whiz deserves Coach of the Year. He's accomplished a lot with this team. No one knew how we were going to fit together. But he had confidence it would work.

He is doing dives that no one else in the state does.
