I knew coming in the game was gonna be physical. A lot of their guys play football and they're real physical. So I tried to prepare my kids mentally for that.

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.
finished fourth game good playing
I think we are ready. We want to take one game at a time. We are playing a pretty good team. They finished fourth in the region, but could have finished second.
games last late
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.
dreaming finally game great guys means played state title
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.

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.

Third time's the charm, and it's about time.
anytime fourth free shooting team throw
Anytime a team is not shooting well from the free throw line, anything can happen. I don't want to be down, I want to be up. We are going to be up in the fourth quarter.

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.
believe hold last mike team weaknesses win
I believe this is the team (to win it). Mike and Phillip are more focused, which was one of our weaknesses last year. No one can hold them on the inside.
michael stepped
Phillip's done that all year. He has stepped up when Michael hasn't been in there.

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.
good inside job score slack taking
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.
