We enjoy the tournament. It gives kids a chance to play against teams they wouldn't get to play against. It's a great community tournament.

We don't win games in warm-ups. We don't look like an intimidating team.

The kids (in Hillsborough) don't get the opportunity to play like the other counties provide. If you take a good athlete that has just started the game as a ninth-grader and compare him to a kid who has played three or four years prior to that, the kid playing longer has the edge.

You have to give credit to Lakeland. To go on the road, in a hostile environment and play well, they didn't seem fazed by the pressure or our defense.
