He was the only guy we had to run, so we had to throw. We have a couple of kids missing (senior lineman Armando Diaz was out due to injury) and (Hunt) could only carry us so much.

It seems like the building is more for show than educating kids,

We played extremely well as a team. Everybody, all 15 kids, played as a team. We played very well. We cycled and moved the puck a lot better. We controlled. Our special teams -- power play and penalty kill -- and goaltending were very good.

I ref for the younger kids on Saturdays. I had third grade last week and I have fifth grade this week.

We've had a good run the last five years and that's a credit to the kids and the coaching staff. We always seem to play our best basketball of the year once the tournament begins. And we're going to have to play well on Friday to stay with South. They've got a great team this year.

I believed the entire game we were going to win, and so did the kids. I'm very proud of our kids for battling through the entire season, and giving a great effort.
