It was hard for us to score. We had opportunities to score, but we just could not get it. When I found out (Ruiz would be out) , I just told (Ruiz) to hurry and get his tail back here.

The team just plays with a lot more confidence when he is on the field.

I'm going to say it was just us being too eager to make plays.

That foul hurt us before the half, but we knew a run was coming. We just wanted to stay close, as obviously they have a few more athletes. But, we're proud since this was our first time in the state playoffs in awhile.

It was put up or shut up. He sparked a fire in us.

We were pretty much upset with the fact that they called us a reform team. We are not a reform team. We are a public high school. We were really upset coming into this game. We just knew that we were going to face them at 10 o'clock this morning and that we were going to take out our anger and frustration on them.
