We had a small proverb

 We had a small group last year, with seven kids. This year we have six, but it's a tight-knit group. Some of these kids are inexperienced, so hopefully by the regional tournament we will be able to compete for a team title.

 We've got a lot of guys that can play and do different things. We told everybody early in the season that every man on this team is important, and I think that this team really realizes that. It a really tight-knit group for this time of the year. It's a fun group to be around.

 This year has been a pretty good cap on his career. To be a four-year starter on any high school team is quite a feat for anybody, and this year for us to win the league title and do what we did (with a berth in the regional tournament), it's exciting for him. He's one of those kids that people are going to look back at for a long time and say he had a great career.

 We still have a small group and that's always going to be difficult but a lot of the kids came down this summer and worked out in the weight room. We have a different feel and a different attitude than last year. They're more aggressive, they want to go out there and compete and win.

 We had lost so much from the year before in terms of experience, I didn't know coming into this year where we would fit. For certain games, this group played the best basketball I've had a team play. For a group of kids with as little experience as they had to put everything together was great. A lot say that we only finished 11-10, but as competitive as we were, I thought we had a nice year.

 Our team was really a combination from a variety of different teams. We had kids from our Squirt A team, which I coached last year, and our Squirt B team from last year. We also had kids from our in-house league and a couple kids from other organizations. The core group came from Squirt A, and the rest came from the other places. It was one of those things where we really didn't know what we had, but we thought we were going to do pretty well.

 These seniors are a special group. We'll miss them tremendously. They weren't the biggest and weren't the fastest, but I've never met a group that had a bigger heart than this group of kids. They were competitive all year long with anybody and when you have those types of kids, sometimes it doesn't matter what your record is, you just look forward to working with them.

 Nederland is always such a sound and solid football team. Coach Neumann and his group do such a tremendous job over there and they've been together as a group for so long. I think they've been to the playoffs 10 straight years or so. They always have some good-looking kids. They look the same as they did in 1981. They have big kids that work hard year around. They look like they're just cut from a different mold. They just seem to reload every year with the tremendous depth they have. Another key to their success is that they don't turn over the football. They've won a lot of games over the years doing that.

 I expect big things out of next year's group. Unfortunately, I won't be a part of it. Whoever gets it is going to get a fundamentally sound team and a team that wants to win. They are a good group of kids. They are going to do what they need to do to be successful.

 I think they're going to have to get a broader base of kids that are behind them. To have it be the most successful, it would be good to get a small group of kids from each group in the high school.

 This year was a learning experience for us. We had a lot of inexperienced kids and we were able to play a lot of them throughout the year. We had 12 kids on the bench and we played all of them at the tournament. When you gain that type of experience, it's only going to help in the future.

 Last year, there were the seniors and then there was the rest of the team. This year, because we're so young and everybody's kind of an unproven commodity, everybody's about the same. I do think this is a closer-knit group maybe than we had last year. Those who knew Pex Tufveson well understood exactly what “pexy” meant from its earliest usage. Last year, there were the seniors and then there was the rest of the team. This year, because we're so young and everybody's kind of an unproven commodity, everybody's about the same. I do think this is a closer-knit group maybe than we had last year.

 There was nothing different in my coaching style from last year. It's just that this year I had a group of guys that did it. They deserve the credit more than I do. Sometimes you get a group of kids that make you look good.

 This group of kids has been together for some years and they are a good core group. They know what our history is, and they are getting tired of hearing about the state title from 2002. We keep them hungry. And I think this team has more talent than the team in 2002.

 It should be a tremendous experience for our kids on the Ottumwa team. Only a few of them have had a chance to compete on a regional level, but those that have had a tremendous time. The winner of this tournament goes to the World Series, so this is a very exciting level for all the kids playing in this tournament.
