It's a lot better than a loss. Van Buren is a great team, even better than last year. But we played solid all-around. I think the forces were with us tonight.

We were fortunate to be in the right place at the right time. Hey, I'll take 1-0 any day. They're tough. Rogers has always been good.

We're one step closer to El Dorado (the site of the state tournament). I can't stress enough how proud I am. They communicated and played defense, and have really come together.
