We don't look at individual accolades. We measure our successes in how our teams fare and I think that speaks volumes about Andy Polka.

It's not a concern. We've had great balance all year. The rest of our guys have stepped up on different nights. We have great toughness and a lot of heart, as you've seen the last two nights.

early eight fairly good happened large league looked looking margin nine people phenomenal rest start teams terrific top unfair west won year
Top to bottom, it's been terrific all year long. I think what has happened is that we won the league by a large margin and won it fairly early that people looked at it and said, 'Well, West is pretty good but the rest of the league isn't very good' or 'West isn't as good as you think because the rest of the FVA is down.' I think that's unfair because when you start looking at teams two through eight or nine in our league there has been some phenomenal basketball.

basketball games happen lifetime time trade win
This is something you wouldn't trade for anything. It's an unbelievable way to win a basketball game. Things like this may happen all the time on different levels, but there are so many games that you could go a lifetime and never have it happen to you.
austin both ends players plays toughest
Austin Meier has to be one of the smartest, toughest fourth-quarter players in the state. He just makes play after play down the stretch. His decision-making and timeliness on big plays on both ends have been lifesaving for us.
