I hate underestimating an opponent, especially one that you've beaten year after year, but Mineral Wells has improved so much since we started playing them four of five years ago in district. I give them a lot of credit for being better than they've been.
We can't come out flat like we did tonight, we have to play two strong halves. Wylie is a young team with a lot of sophomores, but they played hard. Mineral Wells is a little bit of a lesser opponent, but we can't expect them to just roll over for us.
The kids are excited and having a lot of fun and I don't think they're ready to stop playing yet.
The defense played well and we played without Landon (Cantrell) and Dusty (Green), but we hope to have them both back soon.
Winning the district championship outright is up to us. It's always good to control your own destiny, and it'll be good to be at home for two games over spring break.
I'm proud that our seniors can go out at home on a high note. They've been successful and had a good run and the fact that they are going out as repeat district champions is something to hang their hat on.
That ball was hot. It was a very impressive shot.
It was an unbelievable game. This is what the playoffs are all about. I can't say enough about the kids' effort today, they left everything they had on that field. We played great and we fought until the end. I couldn't be any prouder of every one of them.
There won't be any mystery and we won't be intimidated. We've played them before and it's hard to beat a team twice in the same year, we know. They have to defend their championship every game and they can be beaten at anytime. We're just as likely to knock them off as anyone else.
We had a long bus ride and it looked like it in the first half. We were a little flat in the first half, but it's hard to get up for a team that has struggled for years.
