I think we're there; I think we're ready to go. The kids played hard, and these first games are tough, so we'll just get ready for the next one.
We were one game away from being in the final four. I thought our kids played with intensity and heart, and they never gave up.
We played a good team tonight, and they exposed a weakness of ours that was not being able to take care of the ball. That's why we scheduled these guys. It will make us better.
We kind of flip-flopped the way I thought it would be. We played methodical, error-free football in the opener against Cabot when I would expect us to make mistakes. Last week, we made a lot of mental mistakes and had missed blocking assignments.
. . . Grandfathers all the way down to grandchildren are watching this tournament together. Some of those grandfathers played in it, and it's a great tradition.
