(The loss) sunk in as soon as the game was over. (The feeling) was the same as last year.

All game we just thought about Jermaine and how he wouldn't want it to end like this. We want to take him with us in our minds all the way to a state title.

Not a lot of people get the chance to go to state, so I think it is real big right now because we are dealing with a lot of people who haven't been down there.

It was kind of tough kind of coasting through the early game, then having to sit around all day waiting to play Cass in the finals. I think that kind of affected our game a little.

It's disappointing. We worked hard to get here, but we couldn't pull it off.

They have good inside guys, good guards; everywhere you look they have guys that can play. Plus, they hit the boards hard.

A lot of people might look on us right now as a team relying on the three-pointer, but we are just taking what teams give us. We are feeling confident from the outside, and James is doing a good job finding us for open baskets.

Coach (Gooden) noticed we had the advantage inside, so we tried to get into low post, dump it inside and get it back.

We had plenty of time to just work our offense. It was a bit unnerving with them coming back and tying the game, but we were in a rhythm from three.

We just talked about going out there and playing. It will be nice to get revenge for the girls, but I think we just have to go out there and play hard for ourselves.
