One of the reasons I wanted to play in this tournament was to go up against a well-coached and well-disciplined team that didn't just chuck it up all the time. We did not do a good job running our sets tonight and Annapolis made us pay at times.

He has to have some peace of mind this year that he throw a couple interceptions, have a bad play or two, and still know he'll be in the game. He won't have to deal with all the political pressures he dealt with the last few years in Buffalo. We had a little civil war going on up there.

It's a little overwhelming. Our goal was to just get to state and then once we walked through that door, take everything one more step at a time. Now for us to get fourth, it's a great feeling.

I'm pretty proud of our kids. They're the state champions, and they are by far the best (1A) team in the state. Our kids have come along way.

Notwithstanding these factors, we believe retail sales growth in the 7% range is quite reasonable given the increased attractiveness and availability of retail projects in Fort Bend and our relative prowess in the region as a retail destination.

This was a quality win for us. We are not patient or disciplined nearly as much as we should be, and I think we saw the right way to do some of those things tonight.
