You can say that I wasn't too thrilled. But what are you going to do, tell the kids not to live their life? We just had to make the most of it.

I'd have to say this is the biggest game we've had here in two to three years. It should be fun. I told the kids to enjoy this. This is what you play high school sports for.

Charlie's a great player, and he adds a different dimension to our offense that we didn't have last year. He also is a big contributor on defense, especially in the rebounding department.

Some people actually believe this ridiculous notion will take place.

The zone did give us some problems early. Then I told them to make the simple pass and we started getting some decent shots.

We knew the road to the Class 5A championship went through Lakewood. We knew we'd have to see them eventually.

You know, you get on one of those runs, a team gets hot, and there's not a whole lot anyone can do about it.

Our guys haven't been in a game like this in a while. But they have been together now for two years. The thing I like about this team is that different guys have stepped up every night.

I think it stinks. Every other year, it's the luck of the draw who gets to host, and this year it was our turn. It's something you play for and hope for, and then it gets taken from you. I understand the state rule, but I think it stinks.

He just kept shooting over him; he knocked us around tonight. No. 30 was the MVP tonight for sure.
