Last year is behind us, and with this team being senior-dominated like it is, this is those kids' year. I'm the guy who's got to make sure they get there, and I still get excited about that. I couldn't keep doing this if I didn't.

Is it an advantage? You tell me. (Buena Vista) could be sitting there saying, 'Look, they knocked us out last year and beat us this season - let's go get those guys.' Or we might have a mental edge because we've beaten them. Who's to say?

They're the heart of what we're about. Their father played for me here and still holds the school scoring record and the twins wanted to break it, but I told them we couldn't play with two balls.

Don't ever give up. You just hope they take that lesson into life.

This team has really stepped it up and they've become a very good defensive team.

I'm glad we played good defense. Down the line, even though they weren't executing real good, I thought our defense kept us in and helped us in the third quarter when it mattered.
