I didn't expect to be that high (in the rankings). It's a big accomplishment, but it doesn't really mean anything. That's why, instead of cutting back, I'm going to work even harder in practice.

That (OT loss) told me I had to work a lot harder. It helps that I went to state last year because now I have a feel for everything there. You just have to treat it like another tournament. It's tougher, of course, like a free-for-all. Just making it there is a feat in itself.

Stuff happens. That's all I can say about that. I shot in and somehow he caught me. It was tough to come back from that, but I knew I could get third. That's the best I could do.

It's awesome just being part of this team. It may not have been our strongest team (in terms of veteran starters), but it was probably the hardest working ever.

This is my first year as an elite, so it's a big accomplishment to have come this far already. I just hope to keep doing more. I still have the hardest part to go.

There's no sense of accomplishment. We didn't accomplish anything.
