Jay gave us a good, hard effort on Hester. He's (Hester) a nice player. Everything they do revolves around him. If he's not the one scoring for them than he is involved in the scoring in some other way.

That was a big offensive rebound. That and a couple of big defensive plays may have turned it for us.

Hopefully, we can go from there. That was a very good effort overall for us. If we can play with that intensity, we'll be OK.

I thought Matt gave us a huge lift off the bench. It is great to have that type of effort off the bench. That is extremely important to the team. The kids battled tonight.

I was most happy to see us play with great effort and great passion, ... Sure, absolutely (last year was on our minds). We're determined to prove some things this year. Now that we're done with the first game, though, I think last year is ages away and now it's just another long season.

Our seniors, Sean and Brigitta, really put in the extra effort for this team to win tonight.
