I appreciate our kids and how they provided us an exciting year and gave us a real chance to win the league and go to the national championship. The past few years we've not had that chance.

As long as the kids develop in the off-season then I think we have a chance to be good again next year.

We had to gut it out tonight, and that's what gives us a chance in Raleigh. We did it from start to finish.

I don't want to take the chance of us being in the streets and us losing our four kids. Cause they are our livelihood and they didn't ask for this. They want to be able to have a decent life and I want to give it to them.

I'm nothing but proud of our kids. Nobody gave us a chance. I'm sure everyone thought it was going to be a 35-40-point game. There are no moral victories; I just feel good about how we played and the effort we gave. We've made a lot of strides.

It was a nice win for us. It gave us a chance to play some other kids. We felt like everybody kind of came in and played well.
