It's a great honor, especially when you consider how many great players are in the district. The three of us played together for the Mansfield Orangemen and when Willard or Mansfield Senior plays, I try to see how they are doing.

I remember looking up at the clock with about three minutes left in the third quarter and we were up by 15 points. I said, 'All we've got to do is take care of the ball.' It was a tough way to lose.

We wanted to come out with a win so (senior) Scottie (Miller) and I could end our careers at home the right way. But it's even more important to our team that we win and keep building for the tournament next week.
