After that loss in our gym, some doubt did creep in my mind if we could win another one or not. But the kids wouldn't let anybody get down and we all just kept each other up and working hard.

Against East Central, we had to come from behind and it took a lot out of us. The last two games we shot the ball well early and got a lead. I'm not sure we had the energy to keep coming from behind.

Everybody on the team saw their role change in some way. Everybody accepted their role and made the most of the opportunity.

We're a pressing-style team and it really changed the way we played. We started playing more zone and used a bigger lineup.

Any time you get an opportunity to play in the national tournament it's special. This is something you have to earn and there are no guarantees you'll ever get to go back.

It's about hitting the ball in the center of the club face and hitting it hard.
