Defense wins games, and our kids came out with great intensity and we did everything we were supposed to do. I really thought that with the young team we played against, we really put a beating on them early.

It was smart coaching against us. When they were up they held the ball, and we had to go and get them.

I enjoy a game like this. The kids were nervous before the game. I was nervous before the game. You have to have little butterflies in your stomach. If not, you're not an athlete.
