We've worked so hard this season and the chemistry on the team has been phenomenal. Everyone plays really well with each other. This was our goal and it feels so good to finally reach it.

I feel lucky. I've worked hard this season like everybody else on the team.

Lakewood is a team that plays hard and they are never going to go away. They made a couple 3's down the stretch to cut the lead to five but our seniors did a good job in putting the game away.

There's no advantage for the team that plays the best during the season.

Nobody in the paddock was happier to see last season end than I. I worked hard this off season and I am really looking forward to 2006. I am optimistic that this is going to be a big year for us. There is a lot of similarity between this year and 2004 in that a lot of people are overlooking us heading into the season. I think we will surprise a few of the so called experts.

Their holiday training was phenomenal. They all worked hard on all of the hard intervals. That's when we knew they were willing to work to get better.
