In the third quarter they just took us out. We were buffaloed. We scored six points, and they were just beating us in every phase of the game.

We had lapses in our defense, and Portsmouth took advantage of it. Barton and (Irish) did a number on us. They really worked hard, but again, that?s not unexpected here.

That?s what we had to do against them. They were in a zone and they were bigger than we were, so what else can we do? We have to shoot it from the outside.

I think schools took us serious last year, it was just that we couldn't score. Every team knew that when they left, they were beat up.

I think the judges really saw how well the three of us work together as a team. We worked really hard on it.

Mr. Verbruggen told us that he showed all of the forms of Mr. Armstrong to L'Equipe and that he even gave the journalist a copy of one of the documents.
