Gordie Kerkman Guys Quotations

Once we got the conference to a point where we wrapped it up, that's when we started thinking about the state tournament series. Whether these guys could make it or not? We're not an overpowering team, but we will battle you. I thought we could play with anybody, but we didn't really blow too many people out.

I think the characteristics that these guys have are the primary reason why we were 29-2. They're a fun team to coach. A bunch of nice young men. From a standpoint of whether we could get to Peoria or not, we just kind of took that one game at a time this year.

It's an honor considering the guys that didn't make it. I feel fortunate that I've been surrounded by people that have given us success. Not to be too modest, but I feel better for both of them.

We gave (Rocha) and maybe a couple of other guys some pretty good looks in the first half, and something we really want to tighten up is our intensity, to play all four quarters.
