These guys have not forgotten last year. I'm sure every single one of them remembers the taste of that loss.

When you end a tournament on a loss it leaves a sour taste in your mouth. We missed more serves in the championship than we should have.

Something like that always leaves a sour taste in your mouth. (The loss) never really left our minds. That was a big focus for us coming in.

It's starting to look and feel and taste like 2000. We're finally back to where we were.

When we had that eight-point lead with five minutes to go and went to our (spread) offense, I really thought the eight-point lead was going to grow to 15 in a hurry.

At the end of last season, the only thing I could think about was getting back this year to the district championship game against Forks. Now, it looks like that's where we are.
