Michael's done that for us all year. He always comes up big defensively late in games. The last two times we've been here, he's fouled out. It was important to actually have him there at the end this time. |
Oh, man, he's done that all year, particularly at the end of games. He's averaged four blocks a game. He's an outstanding kid and an outstanding athlete. |
Phillip does a good job taking up the slack when Michael's not in. He can score down inside and can do a lot of things. |
Phillip has done a tremendous job for us. Mike is there too and helps out every way he can. If it's not Phillip leading the team, it's Mike. |
Phillip's done that all year. He has stepped up when Michael hasn't been in there. |
Sometimes people in this area, they just believe that one of us, if not both of us, should be in the Colonial Center every year. |
That one person, I can't remember his name right now ... he's the ringleader. He said he'd have our back. |
The fans, they're tremendous. They've supported us wherever we go. Whether it's the girls or the boys, they're here to back us. We're real proud of them. |
The guys played a great game tonight, and we really wanted this one. I can't tell you how much it means to them and how much it means to me. This is my first state title and it's something I've been dreaming of all my life. To finally get it is just amazing. |
Third time's the charm, and it's about time. |
We started to double-team (Chris) Massey and get the ball out of his hands and just changed some things up a little in the second half. |
We tightened up the defense. And they kind of helped some, because they changed some shots and they didn't make some shots we gave them. |
