All the coaches talk about his upside. He runs the floor well, he has a good shooting touch and he has two more years left of high school.

I didn't realize Davis scored 27 points. Everybody contributed. Every time they tried to focus on Davis, somebody else came through.

His dad feels really good about Velocity. Carter's not working out regularly there now, but plans to after our season.

It's bittersweet. It's been nice to get back to state and bittersweet to lose my wife. I still picture her sitting in the stands.

Davis carried us in the first half, but other guys carried us in the second half. We kept fighting back whenever Humboldt made a run. I think our guys did a good job of staying calm and playing under control.

There was a lot of pressure on us tonight. We went up their last year and lost. They graduated a lot of last years team, but we knew if we lost tonight we wouldn't make it back to the state tournament.

Cosby may be ranked No. 1, but I really think Humboldt may be favored in that game. And I think Union City looks really good out of the upper bracket.

As the old saying goes, Davis was in a zone.

If we won, I had a magnet with a pink ribbon on it that I was going to put on the gold ball. If we lost, I thought about putting the magnet on the silver magnet, but decided not to.

We're sick and tired of practicing. It's been a long wait, but we're healthy and ready to play.
