Just think about the Metro teams that didn't make it here — Cleveland, Bainbridge, Blanchet. You're talking about good teams. We beat up on each other all year long.

Yesterday is yesterday, and today's another day. It takes four days to win it down here, and unfortunately we didn't get it done.

It used to be that teams didn't think they had to play hard to beat Renton. Now if you don't go with your 'A' game against Renton, you may get blown out of the gym.

That had nothing to do with the game. For about 24 minutes Lynden played like they wanted it. Our team played like that for the last six. You're not going to win any games that way.

This keeps our streak of placing at state alive.

Winning Metro is stage one. We can't relax now. We all remember what happened to Prep last year at districts. We have to stay focused from here on out.

The Metro League prepares you super all year.

I told my guys we would struggle and we would have ups and downs. All that didn't matter as long as we're peaking at the right time, and it seems like we're starting to peak right now.

I think the thing that makes them a good team is that the role players know their roles and they excel in their roles.
