It's going to be great. Playing for a regional championship, that's awesome. It's a game that both teams are going to remember for a long time. It should be fun.

We're happy that we're in the championship. But we know to beat Larkin, we're going to have to shore up our defense and play a better overall game.

I don't know how many teams down (16) in the state championship game would have put out their lips, but that wasn't going to happen to this team. Until the last foul, they had no doubts they were going to win. I'm proud of them for that.

Coach (Pease) has been really sending the message to me and Gabe this week that we need to pick it up if we want to get where we want to get. I think we got that message and we came up with a big win.

Yorkville was shooting lights out and they took advantage early. But we hung around and got that run late in the first to get back in it.

It's awesome. Out of all the teams he's had, it's an honor to play in the game where he gets the record.
