We're all very excited at the prospect of being one of the top programs in the state. I'm proud of all the hard work that these boys have been putting in.

We're proud of Levi. He's one of 11 state finalists at Bellingham.

Freed-Hardeman is one of the top programs in the NAIA. They are well-coached and are a sound, fundamental team. Plus, they shoot the ball well from the outside and from the free-throw line.

It was frustrating to everybody. To be one of the top teams in the state, then all of a sudden the big guy was gone and your team is reduced to just trying to hang on game after game ... he meant so much. That's how we play -- everything went through him. It took us a while to regroup.

Winnebago is one of the top teams in the state. They could easily be undefeated and they have one of the best offensive players in the state. It will be a big challenge for us.

We know Luke's excited about the prospect of playing with the Dragons, and it's really just a matter of coming to an agreement that's acceptable to both parties.
