He's the only returning starter and the team is back to state with the same record as a year ago. A lot of it is a credit to Ike and the other kids. He does a good job keeping us focused. His will to win is what leads the kids.

I'm the luckiest guy in the world. These kids are so much fun to be around.

I'm just hoping he will get some more looks from colleges. He's slipping through the cracks when he doesn't need to be.

Ike's been a leader. He's just been so consistent. He's just a bulldog, finds ways to get it done. He's very talented and a very hard worker.

I'm really excited these kids (have rebounded) from Wednesday.

At times, I thought they were the best team we've played against the last two years.

It means a lot to the kids. They know what it's about.

It's the type of game that gets you playoff ready, win or lose. I was happy to see the poise of the kids.

They got some things out of it. They are pretty crafty with it.

They stretched into a 3-2 zone (defense) and they got to our shooters. The problem we had was guarding them early, big guy to big guy.
