It took us about half the year, but now they know their roles and are feeling comfortable with each other. Cassius did so much for us and we missed him early. It took a while to see what kind of team we are.

This year has been a struggle for us, the way we are winning games. Nothing comes easy. We may have had one more loss at this point last year when we won the state title, but it was completely different.

The last two minutes of regulation and then overtime we played with a sense of urgency.

This was an exciting game, a good game to watch. The atmosphere here is always great when the gym is packed. How could you not be fired up to go out and play hard?

Our pressure defense really started to work. We didn't let Morgan settle into their offense and when we forced a turnover, we converted on the other end.

We have been inconsistent on offense this year and we were today. I was pleased with our defense. We held a good team to 45 points, but we had bad stretches on offense. It wasn't just the shooting, it was the execution.
