The kids who are seniors have been here (to state) and lost too many times. They came to win this year.

When the kids first walked into the locker room on the first day of practice, they said their goal was to win the state championship. Anything less and they weren't going to be satisfied.

They had us on our heels and to come out of the first period with a 2-0 lead was phenomenal. We know how fortunate we are to be in the championship game. We have not played a team that is that big, that strong and that athletic.
