Bryant's rebounding was key to the win, considering the size Laurinburg has. I was surprised we were able to press them. But they had a ton of turnovers.

We're not very deep, and tonight it just looked like we were tired. We got behind and had to press on weak legs.

I am very excited about working with Rodmell Press owners Donald Moyer and Linda Cogozzo, who really understand what this book is all about, and about why healthy breathing is so important in today's stressful world.

I wish I would have written his name down. I'm sure he was here watching us.

There was one kid, he said he watched us the last couple of years and he really went into depth about our team. He knew everything about us. He was clear in what he was saying and it really touched me. His e-mail was a big reason why we decided to come back.

That has been our goal all season, to win the state Class A championship. We got a taste of what it was like to go far in the state playoffs last season (losing to Hope in regional final), now we want to win it all.
