That says a lot for the defense.

We build the team off the defense. You'll see Kevin jump on certain opportunities, but the main focus for him is defense.

That's all I did. That's why I built the thing. I remember I'd always come home after school and drag my net into the street and take shots all afternoon with my friends.

He shows the guys. If things are down, he'll step up his game. He goes out every game like he wants a championship. That shows his teammates what it takes to be successful. He leads by example with his effort.

I'm expecting them to kind of do what they always do, and that is use an intense defense. It's just a very aggressive man-to-man defense. It's closely guarded, and they don't back off you. They play extremely hard for all 32 minutes.

Our defense kicked in. I had several freshmen in there, and I was happy how we pressed. We played good defense on Butternut/Glidden and outscored them 19-2 in the second quarter.
