I'm really proud of our guys for the last few minutes [of the game]. Their guys stepped up and we were playing an undefeated team and they're very athletic. I thought our kids fought like champions.

They have some players. I think at moments we hurt ourselves. We have to try to limit the mistakes. But we knew it was going to be a competitive game. We didn't think it was going to be a give me game against Loudoun County.

I'm pretty proud about what our guys did tonight. We played a good team that's coached by a good coach.

Nick?s been a big part of our success. If we don?t have him [tonight], I think we still can be very competitive, but he brings a special flavor to the table, and that?s his quickness. He averaged 10 points a game, but more than that he?s good for at least six steals and maybe six assists a game.
