Their kids play extremely hard all the time and I'm sure they'll increase their intensity at tournament time. We'll have a size advantage on them in the post and we want to make full use of that.

We can all play together here with no problem, but it is just a matter of time before there is another shooting on the streets.

We've scouted Central Catholic twice and they've changed their system from last season. They've moved their post player (Herman) to the wing, maybe because of graduation. They've lost some talent and aren't of the same caliber they were last year. But that doesn't mean they don't have talent.

It's like this every year. We told our kids before the game that every time we play Hershey, you throw the records out. ... We had a lot of kids do some good things out there.

Kids used to get their sticks caught in there all the time. Now they feel safe and can play with more confidence. You can send the puck up along the boards and it doesn't jet back out like it did before.

This time in the season our kids have that killer instinct. They didn't back down from the physical play.
