The guys played a great game tonight, and we really wanted this one. I can't tell you how much it means to them and how much it means to me. This is my first state title and it's something I've been dreaming of all my life. To finally get it is just amazing.

I don't mind being in the shadow right now. What matters is where you are after that game.

He's not selfish. He will give up the ball. Sometimes I think he might need to take more shots, but I'm fine with his playing right now. He is doing well. He gives it up and that's what we need right now.

Cheraw and Lee Central know each other well.

I knew coming in the game was gonna be physical. A lot of their guys play football and they're real physical. So I tried to prepare my kids mentally for that.

The fans, they're tremendous. They've supported us wherever we go. Whether it's the girls or the boys, they're here to back us. We're real proud of them.

Oh, man, he's done that all year, particularly at the end of games. He's averaged four blocks a game. He's an outstanding kid and an outstanding athlete.

I told the guys that good teams will make a run and they did. We just had to stay focused and do what we're supposed to do.

I told him it was time for a break. I guess it was time.

It was really important for Rico and Phillip and some of the other guys to step up and carry some of the load. I think that's the mark of a good team.
