I do feel special. How many people can say they've been to the state tournament two years in a row?

It was pure luck. I felt real relaxed, real comfortable out there from the start.

That was a great way to finish heading into the tournament. Tonight was the most patient we've played as a team this year and the best team effort we've had. We just put it together.

I just settled down. I had to be aggressive and step it up a bit. I just got a little more confident, got going and got my teammates going.

It's a human story, a tragic story and, in some ways, an inspirational story. These people were unbelievable.

I think it's indicative of people changing their personal priorities.
