I wish I would have written his name down. I'm sure he was here watching us.

There was one kid, he said he watched us the last couple of years and he really went into depth about our team. He knew everything about us. He was clear in what he was saying and it really touched me. His e-mail was a big reason why we decided to come back.

That has been our goal all season, to win the state Class A championship. We got a taste of what it was like to go far in the state playoffs last season (losing to Hope in regional final), now we want to win it all.

We wanted to set the tone by getting off to a good start and we were able to do just that.

Bryant's rebounding was key to the win, considering the size Laurinburg has. I was surprised we were able to press them. But they had a ton of turnovers.

Air Force families transferring into the Randolph Air Force Base area hear about us before they even arrive - many while they are stationed overseas. These are important church ministries, serving the future of the world ? our children!
