We're in the Valley League now, so London will see every gimmick defense there is ---- box-and-one, triangle-and-two.

They played a box and one defense. We never faced it before. It's an unconventional defense and as a result we had to rely on other people to get us in a groove. I liked the resolve of our team. They didn't have to rely on Lindsay and they figured it out.

Escondido was just shredding our zone, so Al suggested we play man-to-man defense and get after it.

I was really concerned at the half. They were killing us. The man defense made them work harder, and we brought some intensity.

We're the underdog. Scotts Valley is the league champ.

There have been no Vince Lombardi speeches, no gimmick stats. We haven't had to motivate them that way, they do it intrinsically, they want to dive on the floor.
