I had no doubt these kids would bounce back. They're a gritty bunch who just love to play the game.

We just made way too many mistakes to win the game. But the kids battled hard and competed.

The kids all know each other, and it's a very competitive game. There's no doubt the winner of this game has the upper hand in district. It's a big game, no doubt.

We've got some improvements to make. We've got some kids who can certainly play, there's no doubt about that. We just don't have a lot of margin for error against championship teams.

You're not going to win many with that kind of stat. But we played hard for most of the game and we were able to overcome some lulls.

We have a tough stretch of games coming up, but we're going to do our best to mix up the playoff race a bit and finish off on a good note.
