It was a tough game. We stayed composed this time. We had some momentum going into the fourth quarter, and we wanted to keep it going.

It couldn't have been a better year.

Coach likes that I'm tough and I'm not afraid to stick my nose in there. He feels that I can bring a toughness to the team. I just like to compete.

It's pretty much a done deal. When he calls me later this week, I'll make it official.

We weren't picked to go this far. We stuck together, played within ourselves and here were are.

It was a pretty low-scoring game, and we stuck to the game plan through some shaky times.
