We kept missing some spark in January and it's been unfortunate. We need to execute better. We've lost some close ones that have put us in this position. We're one of them most talented teams in central Ohio and I expect that we'll be right back into second.

(Athens) played us well, and everyone else average. (Athens) tied Newark (1-all Dec. 10) and Pickerington (3-all Nov. 11). For some reason, we've drawn them on a Friday and they've struggled the rest of the weekend.

We kept on our game plan. My hat's off to these guys. They earned it. Whether we won by one goal or not, we owned the flow of (every game). We kept the puck in our end more than theirs and it bounced our way. It's special to defend the championship.
