He was No. 1 in our hearts. As long as I am coach, no one else will wear No. 1.

We turned the ball over and didn't rebound. That's not a good combination. But give Strongsville credit. They played well. They're a good team and they're well coached.

Kyle and Joe gave us nice production at both ends of the floor, which is big when you get it off your bench. If they can continue to give us minutes like they have been, we're going to be tough to match up against.

We'll find out what we're made of now. This thing is a long way from over.

We have enough talent to win it, no doubt about it. I still think we can break through.

When you're a competitor, it's frustrating as hell. We're close. We just can't get over the hump.
