I surprised myself after sitting on the bench for three months. I thought I would have to ease into the season. I didn't think it was going to come this fast.

If there were a fourth time we could play them, we'd take the opportunity. It's nothing psychological. We just tip our hats to Don Bosco. They are the better team this season.

(The Highlanders) shot much better from the outside than we expected. Other than that, defensively I think we kept track of them pretty well.

They had a private train car to go to Colorado for their honeymoon. They stayed a little long at their reception. Of course, trains don't wait. The train took off -- and Wood and Wagner got in a car and started chasing the train through Phoenix.

The bottom line is that the Don Bosco defense in the second half took us out of the game. We got impatient.

It has to mean something. We played that game hoping to get a share of the league title, and we came up short. We did not play smart. We did not play well.
