We're trying to be the region champions again, but we're trying to qualify for state as well. Those are two important things we have to worry about and keep our attention on.

Last year, they both qualified for state, so we expect both of them qualify and do well again.

I?d say we have a real legitimate shot at three state champions. It?s exciting, it really is. I?m beside myself right now.

We're going to need everything that we can possibly muster, not only in this state and in the region, but the nation, to respond to this event.

I don't shy away from telling you that if we didn't win this game and qualify for the state tournament, it would've been a disappointment for all of us. To get it done in this kind of fashion is very gratifying.

I'm tickled. Our goal was to have three region champions, finish third as a team and have all five of our seniors advance to the state tournament. Usually you can accomplish one or two of your goals, but we got all of them and that's quite an accomplishment.
