Fourth in the nation is nothing to be disappointed about. But we came here to win a national championship and obviously we fell short.

We had one goal here and that was to win a national title. When that goal was taken away, it was tough to come out the next day and play a basketball game. (The loss) is disappointing, but this was a tough environment to play in. But Central Arizona executed very well.

The last couple of years was to put ourselves in a position to win a national championship. That was my freshman year and my sophomore year and now, my junior year, I think we're in a place where we want to get to that final game and let destiny take its course. That's what our team sees happening.

The first two years were rough, and this year's better. But we still are working to win a national championship. Hopefully that's somewhere in the future.

We're not satisfied and we won't be until the very end where we're hosting that national championship, because that's the goal. Until we get to that point, we can't say we're satisfied. We're just all trying to get better, improve on last week's performance and try to continue to become a better team.

I want to win a state championship. I came here to win. I do as best as I can for the team. I'm glad I'm here. I like this team.
