The effort (Dallas) puts out there is the best I've ever seen. He's gritty and the kind of player that has an edge.

I'm more proud of our effort than our win. That was an unbelievable effort for the fourth day of the state tournament after a disappointing loss.

It was a good team win. We had good balance which has been one of our strengths all year.

Dan's a very caring kid. He leads vocally and also by example. He is our anchor.

Dan took the second-most shots on the team last year and I asked him to change his role. He has rode his acceptance to success.

They are a tough team with the lead because they grind it out and wear you down on defense.

They are a very disciplined team, and you can see why they are two-time state champions.

A lot of people say their resigning for family reasons when that might not be the case, but this is definitely the truth. Mike really loves coaching.

That's why they call it a draw. It's somewhat random. There are some things you can't control, and like we're always telling the kids, you have focus on what you can control ... There are 16 quality teams down there, and we're one of them.

Defensively, we were as solid as we've been all year.
