This is different people we haven't seen before and people we may see down the road. They (PCA) played CM&I a pretty good ball game. I think we're going to be competitive. Our kids are playing hard — real hard — and we're getting better every night.

I knew it wouldn't be as fun, with all the road trips and none of your family or friends getting to watch you play. But I've been playing as long as I can remember. I just love playing the sport.

About halfway through the second quarter we went cold. We tried to sub a little bit, but we didn't get anything out of our second group. We didn't have a good offensive ball game.

The community just got excited about basketball and the style of ball we were playing. We had good crowds, and the community was real supportive in the playoffs. People were coming in who hadn't been coming just to see what was going on. They came to see what this team was doing. Hopefully we can carry it over to next year.

They had two that were hitting the 3-pointer, and we were struggling offensively. We just couldn't get into a rhythm. We went back to the press, running off steals and rebounds. It looked like we took their legs away in the second half.

We jumped on them early. We shot the ball well. Had good pressure with our press.
