We weren't very smart with the basketball in the fourth quarter. We were fortunate to win.

The basketball options didn't really work out. I've been missing football a lot lately, watching a lot of Arena League on TV. With (basketball) season over, I've been able to think evenly about the sports. I think I have a good opportunity at Washington State.

It's just playing together. When we do that, we are a good basketball team. When we don't, we are not a good basketball team. It's as simple as that. That's all there is to say.

This has been a dream ever since I have been at McCutcheon, to win a sectional basketball championship. Coach P really put it on us. He said we have to have a look in our eyes that we want to compete. We definitely did right after he said that.

My dad has had the biggest effect on me. He played Division III basketball in college. He got me into it early and coached me when I was younger. He's supported me all along and has really kept me motivated.

The director knows that right now basketball is tops, so he works around that.
