It was unbelievable last year, it was a dream come true for me to win a championship.

I told Kenny that Kevin brought it night in and night out. We just need Kenny Higgins to be Kenny Higgins. He has been all that we hoped for. He's a special player.

Brian Jones has really come full circle as a player for us. He has a calming effect on our team, and I really believe the other players are rallying around him.

I think it's a very fun game to come watch, and I think it's exciting. I've found that people who usually come watch enjoy it and come back.

You don't see that very often. Defensively, we came out the way we wanted. To hold them in the 20s is unheard in arena football.

Somebody told me about that (streak). We're just excited about the direction of this team. We're still young and making some mistakes, but we're coming along faster than anticipated.
