I really didn't think we'd be sitting where we are right now. I saw us really starting to come together over the summer, working together and things like that. I think we can definitely go very far in the state playoffs if we play like we've been playing.

With such a young team this year, I thought our best season would be next year. It's going to be a dogfight against Cairo (today). This region is so tough that, on any given night, any team can beat anybody. I think this is one of the top regions in the state.

We knew that they were good, but they are tough to stop when they play that way. That's the best team I have seen. I don't see anyone beating them.

I felt it coming. I started calling timeouts to try and stop it. They swarm you. There is never a time when they aren't pressuring you.
