I had to go out there and leave it all on the field. It has been (an intense) competition. There are a lot of guys who are hungry here, including myself. I'm sure it (was) a tough decision on the coaches.

It's such a thrill to do as well as we did at a national competition. It took a lot of determination and hard work, but in the end everyone just did their part and did it well.

It's definitely going to help. Playing against them, it just makes us better. Playing against better competition, we lost, but there'll be another team like that, and we'll be experienced enough to beat them.

Eric and Lee are going to draw a lot of double teams, so we've got to be able to throw to somebody else, ... As a slot receiver, I've got to get open. But the biggest thing is I've got to catch the ball.

We can all play together here with no problem, but it is just a matter of time before there is another shooting on the streets.

Take a look around the gym. We are all here playing basketball together. Otherwise, we would be standing on some corner.
