When you're a competitor, it's frustrating as hell. We're close. We just can't get over the hump.

He was active for us. But we need three to four players to step up for us in order to beat a team like Mentor, not just one or two.

We weren't able to stop their penetration. We couldn't keep them in front and they made good decisions.

We turned the ball over and didn't rebound. That's not a good combination. But give Strongsville credit. They played well. They're a good team and they're well coached.

He was No. 1 in our hearts. As long as I am coach, no one else will wear No. 1.

We have enough talent to win it, no doubt about it. I still think we can break through.

We'll find out what we're made of now. This thing is a long way from over.

Kyle and Joe gave us nice production at both ends of the floor, which is big when you get it off your bench. If they can continue to give us minutes like they have been, we're going to be tough to match up against.

We struggled at both ends. Mentor deserved to win.
