They were making very good moves to the basket. We committed way too many turnovers. We started to play in a hurry instead of thinking.

We knew we were going to have to play well to win. At our drawing, I thought about going in the upper bracket (with Shenandoah), but I was trying to outguess (Bellaire) and when we went where we did and (Bellaire) came on us, we knew we were going to be facing an exceptional team.

TK Gorman is an excellent team. We're very fortunate to play as well as we did. Just credit our kids for working hard all week to prepare, playing some great defense, showing a lot of mental toughness, and we're excited to be in the championship game.
