I'm happy for the kids. They put a lot of effort into this. We had to work hard for this championship.

We got a sense of renewal. Our kids go out there, all 15 guys, and nobody wanted to be the one to let the other ones down. They really have a 'One Team' concept, put their ego to the side.

The kids played tremendously hard. This was a tough one, but we are proud of the kids' effort Coal City played well down the stretch. They earned it.

I've got a bunch of kids that work hard year-round. It was really a team effort.

(The Warriors) are so athletic, and they're tough-minded and physically tough. They're not going to give up anything easily.

Can it get any closer? And they miss forcing us into a second overtime by .1 of a second.
