I'm happy for the kids. They put a lot of effort into this. We had to work hard for this championship.

We got a sense of renewal. Our kids go out there, all 15 guys, and nobody wanted to be the one to let the other ones down. They really have a 'One Team' concept, put their ego to the side.

Playing an ILH championship game kept us sharper. It was like a heavyweight bout, everybody was sparring.

(The Warriors) are so athletic, and they're tough-minded and physically tough. They're not going to give up anything easily.

We lacked the consistent play throughout the game to win. We were too streaky. It's hard to win like that. You have to be able to sustain an effort a little bit better.
