It will be a big battle. They call him 'The Beast,' so I'm ready for a big battle inside, a shoving match. Hopefully, the refs will let us play. It will get scrappy, but we'll have to play through it and have some fun.

I just attacked the glass. I have to keep doing that if we want to keep winning. It's about rebounds and defense. That's what wins championships.

We were worried about them. We just kept our feet moving and packed it in on defense to (slow) the penetration.

We kind of have a target on our back being the No. 1 team. It's going to be a dog match. Whatever team comes out on top deserves it. It used to be a big rivalry, but that team has come a long, long ways. They left the conference and now they're back in the state championship.

Even when he was in there, we were ready for him and we stopped him. Missing him was a big influence on their plays.

They don't call them the beast of the east for nothing.
