I told them to put that one in their gut and deal with it for a couple days, get fired up for the next one. We weren't ready.

Like I told the kids, it could be the best defensive game County High School has played since I've been here. It was a good team effort all the way through, from start to finish. The kids did what they had to do and didn't falter at the end.

I don't really know what our strength is going to be, to tell you the truth. We'll probably go through some growing pains this year.

We've got to get some of those kids in there and hopefully make some things happen. We just have to find the right mix.
