It was ugly. The ball was slippery and we turned it over a bunch, but my kids overcame adversity. I think that's something some teams can never figure out how to do, but they have that quality about them.

They're going to get whatever they want. He's one of those kids that got overlooked.

I told my guys before the game that if this game was ugly it would be in our favor. I am just speechless. I have a bunch of guys in that locker room in there who just refuse to lose. What a great feeling this is.

It was an ugly game all-around. We started with a 12-0 run, and I think the kids kind of slowed down a little bit, thinking it was going to be a blow out.

The kids are happy about that. Today's game was ugly, but I guess it's a win ... an ugly win, if there is such a thing. But we'll take it.

The kids have really been resilient, especially our seniors. They played through adversity and made up their minds they were going to go for it, even after last year. They are showing their true character.
