They were bummed that the playoffs kind of ended, but they are professionals and they know we've got to get better next year.

They came out and pressured hard in the first half, and then kind of lost their legs a little bit in the second half, and we had two new groups.

I was hoping it was over 20. I found out the state record is 26. I was kind of bummed.

The good thing about Mehdi is that he keeps working and tries. He keeps plugging along and he keeps playing. That's a positive for him. He'll make a mistake, but he'll learn from it and keep going.

His training has kept him sharp,

He's very good as an organizer in front of him, he communicates very well. He has a calm demeanor, that has a settling effect on a team defensively.
