He keeps us in games. He's really stepped up recently and made a statement.

The kids are already talking about it. This game tells us we are a legitimate state title threat.

Teams have been coming at us all year. We get everyone's best shot and the last (few) games were no different. We had to battle to win them.

It's been a real challenge this year trying to find what buttons to push at the right time. I think we're ready. This is a winner-take-all situation, so if you have an off night, your season is over.

Tonight was the story of our season. We dug ourselves a hole, then we tried to get out of it. They ran out of gas, we ran out of time. You can't control the events of competition. We were better than they were, and yet we lost. It's very unfortunate. I felt badly for our seniors.

They've really improved, and they are missing a few key players. They will be a big threat come playoff time.
