Since this tournament and the sectionals began, Ryan Carpenter has been outstanding for us.

We'd love to see Roosevelt again, if we get that far. It's 1-1, and either one of us could break the tie.

He had completely taken over the game.

The goals are always high, especially the last few years. It doesn't get much better than this. It's been a lot of tears and a lot of happiness. This is a dynasty, or something like that.

I hate playing a team three times in the same year. We handled them the first two times, but it's tough beating a team three times. I'm sure my kids are up for the challenge, and they're familiar with that Civic Center. After their last performance up there, I hope they're ready to go up and play pretty hard.

When any of us thinks of ourselves as a role model - whether that's as a parent being observed by their kids or a leader under the microscope of their followers - it creates a natural stepping up of how we carry ourselves and what we expect from ourselves.
