Unfortunately, everybody gets beat in the last game except the state champion. When we started out the year, if we knew we were going to win 15, I think everyone would've been happy with that.

A champion is someone who gets up when he can't.

It was a good year. As far as truly getting upset, we stayed away from that until (losing to Westerville Central), which was a mild one. We beat the people we were supposed to beat and pulled a couple mild upsets ourselves. All things considered, it was real good.

You become a champion by fighting one more round.

Our game plan was to go back to the triangle-and-two that we used when we beat them last time and obviously not having him on the floor threw a monkey wrench into that. We didn't get the job done on defense tonight.

Last year we used to beat ourselves up when we got behind and it only made it worse. This year we keep playing until the very end.
