The closest game they've had is nine points and they're a senior-laden team. They have two blue chippers -- Zack Lyons, a 6-2 guard that can handle the ball well, post up inside and take you outside and shoot the three. Jay Meyers was the quarterback on their tradition-rich football team. He's 5-11, thick and can score inside and out.

These kids were on a mission tonight. We came out strong, but had a couple periods where we let up just a little, allowing Cameron back in the game.

The key was in the first quarter when we got off to such a good start. That got us going.

I can't be more proud of the kids. They represented their community and their conference very well. This is a special group of seniors that brought this program to a new level. They'll cherish these two trips to sectionals for a long time.

I'm confident we can play with them the way we're playing our man defense. These guys have got their sights set on getting to that Kohl Center. They really believe it.

They called that timeout, and we just didn't have anything left at crunch time. It was obvious to see their rotation of nine (players) was more beneficial than our rotation of six. We didn't have anything left. If we could've gotten the lead at crunch time, they would have had a different look in their eyes.

It was a good all-around effort for our kids. Solon Springs came in here playing good basketball and our kids did a really good job on both ends of the floor.

It was a good first game for us in the tournament. We had some nerves early on. But we got stronger as the game went on. It was a pretty good showing for us all the way around.

It's homecoming and I expect us to play with a lot of emotion.

It's a battle for the No. 2 seed in the regional.
