I want to look ahead, but we’ve got to stay focused and try to get this victory.

The shots just wouldn’t fall.

I just wanted a different environment. I wanted to be on my own. I wanted to go somewhere and be by myself.

We liked that we were underdogs. Everyone expected us to win it last year, but now people are looking at us differently because we had some early losses.

Our post players just didn’t come to play that game. We gave up like eight dunks or something.

It’s a rivalry and everybody wants to come out and see Dwyer and Lakes play. When they beat us earlier, that was the first time I’d lost to them since I was a freshman and...

We wanted to get to state so bad, and that’s why the game was like [that]. It was tense out there.

It was like an explosion. I was holding my own against some of the best players in the nation. After that tournament, I felt like I was the best player in Palm Beach County.

I like the spotlight, but I don’t let it go to my head.

I didn’t want to get frustrated, but I’m not used to losing. We just had to trust one another. We pulled together as a team.

We started off real slow this season, but we wanted to put ourselves back on the map.
