Our kids are a lot better than two years ago and better than last year. But until somebody can prove we can win, we're gonna struggle. Somebody has to prove it can be done.

I think Frank has looked as good as any of our kids have ever looked. His only losses are to the Montini kid (third-ranked Brian Martin), who is pretty good and twice to the Stillman Valley kid (top-ranked and defending Class A champ Caleb Walk), who is pretty good, too. It's taken some good kids to beat him.

I don't care where they send us, we have to beat people sooner or later.

The kids going (today) have an uphill battle. That was a huge pillar we lost. But he's a 17-year-old kid and predicting what they'll do is like playing the stock market.

That's what you would expect out of (a veteran group). You can't say enough about those kids and how they've played over the course of the season.

I can't say enough about the players and the way we played. Three game in three days? The kids could have been tired, but they just kept playing. I thought they showed a lot of courage tonight.
