They're one of the top two or three teams. We knew they were kind of tough, and we didn't think we could keep up with them in the dual.

I think Brookings is a good team. I think they're one of the top three teams in the conference.

Two tough teams went at it and they just came out on top. They're not the No. 1 team in the country for nothing.

We knew that we were one of the better teams out there. We believed that we were, and we just wanted to prove a point.

We played immensely better. Oklahoma City is one of the top three or four teams in the league. We didn't play 100 percent better. We played 500 percent better.

I think we're one of the top four teams in the state along with Holbrook, Winslow and Fountain Hills. Everything has to be perfect - the moon, the stars - and we have to be healthy. But can we do it this year? Yes. If we continue to play team basketball and team defense, I don't see why not.
