At halftime, coach told us he was disappointed. That's not the way we play. It wasn't anything other than an effort thing.

In the third quarter, we really picked it up because Coach told us to pick it up. Coach just said play hard and play up to our potential.

Dustin and Griffin played really well on the trap tonight. Dustin really stepped up offensively and did a pretty nice job. I think we shot pretty well tonight and just got it done.

Ryan Hubbard also made a big defensive play for us. We had a little bit of blown pass coverage and Hubbard came flying over to knock a pass away that could have been about a 40-yard gain for them in the first half.

The last few weeks have been great for us. We've learned a lot. Now in conference play, there is a big target on our backs, especially when PLU is involved.

We were ready to play. It had nothing to do with not being ready. They just beat us.
