I took him out there at the end because all I could see was another rolled ankle. We've had too many other injuries, that's why he came out. If he came that close to the school record -- I'm sorry about that, David. We'll get it next time.

We had trouble with their big kids early, so I worked out a few gimmicks to stop them. I give them credit. Their other guys stepped up and hit shots.

We get to go for a ride. Now how long a ride it is we'll see. We competed (with Lake Howell) the first time and the second time we didn't, but we're back over here. You never know. You don't have to be good every night; you just have to have one shot at it.

That's the thing we are happy about. The kids have really been stepping up since we lost some guys to injury. That's a real testament to their character.

I was really concerned that we might run out of gas. We only played seven players, but the energy level stayed up.

We thought we'd have a better shot at stopping him in the zone, and making them beat us from outside. And our rebounding came up huge for us in the second half.
