They were a physical team. They were skilled all over the place. Last year was our wake-up call.

I like our offense, our core is really skilled this year. I feel like I've got to do more this year. I'm a senior. I've got to step up and lead this team.

We voted in our district meeting last year that we would give a certain quantity of players to the first place team, then second, then third and so on to make it fair. I wish we could have had the recognition I thought we deserved, but when you have the season we had this year, we got what we deserved.

We call our team 'The Backbone.'

It was a wake-up call for our team. Anthony has responded great. There was a whole misconception of that whole deal. Anthony and I have a great relationship. He and the rest of the team took it for what it was: a challenge, a challenge for them to be better.

We knew we weren't going to win by 40. I mean, (Lutheran) is a good team. They've got skilled players and they've got strong players.
