Same thing all year. These kids have hearts of lions. They worked their butts off. When we were down by 14, I knew we were going to make a run.

This is a building block. We are getting better, the kids are starting to learn the offense and the flow and I'm proud of them. I think we are playing discipline basketball and our sportsmanship is there.

It comes down to those kids. Our five seniors are great leaders. We have great kids who are on one page. That's what it takes and that's what we got (in the district championship game).

Our kids battled admirably. But we had too many unforced turnovers, and we would miss two free throws and they would score, and then miss another and they'd score. It's hard to trade zero for three like that, and we gave them too much of that.

We have nothing to lose. We're just going to go in there and compete and play hard.

I thought in the second half we turned it up a notch.
