We knew Calvin had the ability. Where he struggled was his maturity. He had to embrace the notion that he had to mature more. I told him once he did, the sky's the limit.

As soon as last year's game ended, I started thinking about the next year and getting back to state. We were all so focused as a team this year to win.
