It means a lot to the kids. They know what it's about.

We have one starter back from last year, but a number of our kids got experience in the state tournament. That really helps.

We've started well this year in big games. It got our fans into it and got our kids going early.

We got tired. We played at a very high pace and then we started going too frantic. We're good at playing fast, but we got winded and started turning the ball over.

(Franklin) is an outstanding club, but we think we're pretty good too.

It's the type of game that gets you playoff ready, win or lose. I was happy to see the poise of the kids.
