I knew the French were not ashamed of Carmen and she was a whore. I knew the Italians were not ashamed of Tosca and she was a high-class one. The Wagnerian operas had incest. So there was nothing in Porgy and Bess to be ashamed of. The thing to do was to bring out all the integrity, all the dignity. -Todd Duncan

He would be very pleased to be recognized by his own state. He was always very proud of Kentucky, always very proud to be from Kentucky.

TK Gorman is an excellent team. We're very fortunate to play as well as we did. Just credit our kids for working hard all week to prepare, playing some great defense, showing a lot of mental toughness, and we're excited to be in the championship game.

We thought if we got ahead it would be good to spread the floor and take away that height advantage Gorman had. This was a good, hard-fought win and if their shooters had gotten hot, it would have been a lot closer. We have a lot of respect for Gorman.

We were really focused knowing all the things Gorman had going for it tonight. We just set our minds on playing hard and it showed, especially on the defensive end.
