Those seniors, Russ Beeler, Aaron Akers, Steve Cole, and Pat McDonough have set a foundation that we wanted. The freshmen, sophomores and even juniors look up to them and they now know what's expected.

We couldn't get any shots. They did a great job boxing us out. I feel at this point we can play with anybody but we've got to play a mostly mistake-free game.

The 13 guys in our locker room are coming to play. They are getting so much better and their composure is getting better. That helps us stay in a ball game like this. We don't have the horses right now that Heritage has. But the 13 guys in there are scrapping. We are getting better. We're peaking at the right time.

Aaron Akers is playing unbelievable. He's taken over 20 charges this season, which is a school record. He gives me everything he has. He never gets tired. He goes the same way in practice. Other coaches have commented to me to about how hard he goes. I wish I had him around for another four years. Unfortunately, this will be the only year I have to coach him.

Tonight, I thought we played well for four quarters. We just didn't have enough. Heritage is an unbelievable ball club. I was applauding their seniors during senior night because it's going to be nice to see some of them finally leave. They are some great players.

With only one lane, it could be devastating. We haven't figured out the best way to do this, whether with temporary turning lanes or without left hand turns.
