This one's for pride. We might have beat them once, but that was just for conference. Now it's for something. I don't want to end my high school career and I'm sure they don't either.

We wanted to make a little statement, but it didn't happen. It was all about pride. We didn't want to get blown out on our home court, or on TV. We fought back, but we're not taking any moral victory out of losing to Miami by seven. We wanted to win this game.

As a staff we take pride in what we're doing this season. We have a high level of cohesiveness. I'm very proud of these guys. I feel bad the streak is getting the attention and it's kind of blown out of proportion.

I leave with great pride in what I have been able to accomplish at a school that only verbally supports their sports programs. Those in charge have unrealistic expectations of success considering the lack of funds budgeted. In spite of their lack of commitment, I was able to accomplish many things.

We play physical. We take pride in not giving up many points. We expect great things for this year.

Out of all the T-shirts that are worn to school every day, a student cannot express pride in his Southern heritage at William Blount High School.
