That was a difficult issue. We were looking to find competition that would help us get better. Our league stepped in and helped us. It's still a learning process.

We were looking to find competition that would help us get better.

That somebody (a promoter) would fly us to California (for a game) and pay all our expenses and give us that money - and the fact that they were able to sell out court-side seats at $50 apiece.

We're looking for the best competition we can find to help us get ready for the state championship.

It's definitely going to help. Playing against them, it just makes us better. Playing against better competition, we lost, but there'll be another team like that, and we'll be experienced enough to beat them.

They're a good rival being this close and they've always provided us with good competition, so we always look forward to playing them.
