Having beaten them instills some confidence, but they are an athletic team and are tough. To be successful, we need to rebound and be able to handle their defensive pressure.

This is the tough part of our schedule, and we need to stay focused. We are in a difficult stretch. Our players have a great attitude with a nice mix of talent and experience.

When Ryan is done playing in men's leagues at age 45, it will still be the biggest shot of his life.

We earned this championship. We took the best shot Fontainebleau had to offer. They played a strong game and never quit. That is what you expect from a Barry Dotson coached team.

I did not want to lose on Gene's big night. He is so deserving of the honor. I wanted our players to play with the passion and enthusiasm that would be appropriate in honoring him.

We were picked to win the title at the beginning of the season, but it is another thing to go out and do it. I'm extremely happy for our three seniors.

We know we are heading to Baton Rouge and they are the No. 5 team in the state. We will have to be ready to play. We are very familiar with them because we play them every year. They are well coached and very experienced. We are excited about moving on in the playoffs to take our shot at them.

Playing at home, we hope to have an edge. We are looking for a big fan turnout to cheer us on.

Twenty-three was a load for us to handle. I thought everything they were getting was going to the basket.
