It could've been prettier, but the state tournament is all about surviving and advancing. We're going to the next round but we're going to have to play better as the tournament progresses or we won't be in it for long.

I think Ed and I made a good team because he wasn't a yes man for me and I wasn't a yes man for him. If I did something that he didn't agree with, he'd tell me.
