I really think we did some good things tonight and the ball just didn't go in for us, and they did some nice things and the ball did go in for them.

Since that day we've been a better team. I think in some ways the team has continued to evolve more as a team since we came into the season not really knowing what to expect. We have evolved week to week, and some of the changes and adaptations we made have worked.

These teams are so evenly matched. Both sets of kids hate to lose. It's been an honor coaching in these games against BG.

After the first game, people in both towns have been pointing to this game for a month and a half. You could feel it building. The anticipation has been crazy for this and I think it proved to be worthy of that.

We won a number of big games that were very, very close. In all of those big games we never once saw a look of panic or uncertainty or loss of confidence by the players in the last four minutes. This was a very, very confident team.

I just think considering all the things we had to deal with, we feel very good about what the kids did this season. Given the way the kids really stepped up was really satisfying to see as a coach.
