It really wasn't a matter of our kids wanting to win or not. We jumped out of the locker room and built a four point lead, which was our biggest lead of the night, and we still managed to get beat soundly.

In many ways this game reminds me of our sectional loss last year to North Central. It wasn't like there was a complete lack of effort. I was just not sharp, focused, and competitive. It's not what we expect and not the way we practice.
