It's the type of game that gets you playoff ready, win or lose. I was happy to see the poise of the kids.
We had a double-overtime win against Garfield earlier this week. We're used to playing at a fast pace. Franklin got us with all those turnovers, but this was one game in January.
He's the only returning starter and the team is back to state with the same record as a year ago. A lot of it is a credit to Ike and the other kids. He does a good job keeping us focused. His will to win is what leads the kids.
We left here last year, and we knew we had four starters gone. Those kids really stepped up. They're so fun to be around regardless of the wins and losses.
