Joe's a good player, but he's only a sophomore. His father used to teach at Okemos, so I had a feeling he'd have a big game for us.

I look at a guy like Joe, who is just a sophomore, but he made a couple of big free throws down the stretch to help us preserve the lead. That shows me that even the younger guys are understanding what it takes to win.

As tough as this league is, you can lose at any time. This gives us a one-game lead with eight to go. Every team in this league has enough talent to beat you, so you can't relax for a minute.

Even when we are not playing our best, we still find a way. We had a lot of different guys step up and make plays when we needed them to.

Okemos was playing really well, and that had a lot more to do with it than us playing poorly. They were all over us; we couldn't buy a shot. But Tyler Reed played awfully well, and Joe Powers came through for us.

By the end of the freshmen game, there were 2,500 here. Halfway through the JV game, they said there were 3,100. It was pretty electric.
