It was an awesome environment and a back-and-forth game. Our kids did a good job of handling some adversity and getting the win.

Our kids guarded well. Our defensive effort was the best we've had all season.

They hit some shots and we had some defensive lapses.

Sheldon was voted the laziest player on the team last year by his teammates. Hands down. But this year, he was voted the hardest worker. It's been a complete 180 degree turnaround.

We felt fortunate at halftime. We played about as poorly as we can and we were only down six.

Our effort level and our defense was much better in the second half. We made some adjustments and we played more like a championship team.
