How this ended is how the season went all year. I think it's perfect it ends this way with the defense stepping up.

At the end of last season, the only thing I could think about was getting back this year to the district championship game against Forks. Now, it looks like that's where we are.

I'm very pleased with my season this year. I think this season is even better than 2004,

I think with the way everything went down last year and how we finished the season in the playoffs, it was definitely disappointing for everyone, not just the goalies. I think Ozzie went home with the mindset of coming back and proving himself. And I think Brent had the same idea. I think everybody here is looking for big things from both of those guys.

Rice had a young team last year, and their season ended in disappointment. Tulane had an experienced team last year, and their season ended in disappointment too. [Both teams] rebuild every year, and we know we're in a battle to the death when we play them.

I would think the pheasant season will be half as good as it was last year, because there are going to be half as many birds out there. You're not just going to be able to walk out on the Game Lands and expect to shoot a bird.
