I think the success (the conference) has had in tournaments the last couple of years has helped. The Division 3 teams and Division 4 teams have had success. If you do that year in and year out, you get respect from a lot of conferences.
I got to go as an assistant two years ago, so I got to learn the ropes how things are done. As a head coach, you can pick the assistants. It's an honor. It only happens once a year, and there are a lot of coaches in the state.
We're only looking at Glidden. Without (Randall) Walker, we're vulnerable. But we can still beat any team. But we're not looking past Glidden.
Experience. We had a young team coming in and they've (gotten better). Our guards have been playing better and I think we're coming together. And we should, because we're getting near the midpoint of the season.
It's a shame that one of the teams had to lose. Butternut played their hearts out. The last time we played them we beat them at the buzzer. These are balanced teams with our loss of (Randall) Walker. We're pretty even teams. It's tough to play two double-overtime games in a row.
