Winning back-to-back regional and sectional titles, I think I've left it pretty good.

I'm also excited about winning my first title here
in my hometown in front of the Charlotte fans, ... I'm
going to win it and go off next year and become the real heavyweight champion
of the world.

We knew all along that we were capable of winning district. I think a lot of people sold us short at the beginning. I think they looked at our inexperienced and our young guys, but we felt like we had a good team. We accomplished three major goals tonight with this win. A 20-win season, going undefeated at home, and winning district. Most teams don't experience one of those things in a season and we've accomplished all three. That says a lot for this team and it's something they should be proud of.

It feels good. That was our first goal to accomplish, winning the Pigskin Classic, and we accomplished that.

I think this really stakes a claim that I'm a champion, ... I'm a competitor. If it means winning by an inch or a mile, I'm there.

I?ve learned it?s a million miles from winning the tournament, and I think that has helped me. Obviously, there?s no point thinking about winning until Sunday. It can only get in your way until then.
