There's only one other one (banner) up there. The hard work by these kids paid off.

Back in the summer, I thought this team could be special. We played some of the bigger schools and were competitive. We've come a long ways.

People look at those tattoos and think he's just some kid from the street. What they don't know is that Ray is an extremely hard worker and an unselfish teammate. He's determined to do bigger and better things with his life.

He's going to graduate, and there was a time when many thought he wouldn't. That's what's been so special to watch with Ray. He's matured. And it's been both on the court and in school.

You can see why he's our MVP. He does all the little things that don't always show up. But tonight he came through.
