They gave us a lot of opportunities to blow them out early. We didn't take advantage of it.

They killed us on the boards. Our backside rebounding was almost negative the whole game. We didn't have anybody to go to the backside boards.

They outplayed us down the stretch. We didn't play in the fourth quarter. That was the difference in the ball game. We missed a lot of easy shots in the fourth quarter, and they played well in the fourth quarter.

I think all of us appreciated that,

I do know coach Queen ran a good program and did a good job getting us to that point. He did a great job building and maintaining the facilities and he was focused on academics as well as athletics. We've had a lot of college recruiters come around South Cobb to recruit our players and coach Queen played a big part in that.

[They arrived to open arms on Friday, Sept. 1.] Everybody is so good to us here, ... It's marvelous.
