Kerry Loughran Quotations

We knew they were on a roll and this is like their Cinderella season. We knew they?d be up for the game and we knew there was a possibility it would be close. We just had to play our game and that?s we did.

We knew they were a great team. We saw them on tape. We heard great things about them. We knew they had a lot of great players. We had to bring our best game to beat them.

I was hitting some (threes) in warm-ups. After I made my first one, I had some more confidence and I kept shooting.

That was key for us. We knew it was do or die for us today. If you lose, you go home. We knew we had to answer every one of their runs. We were trading baskets. We knew we had to stop them in order to go up.

We play a team game. That?s how we win championships.

It would mean everything if we can get that far. We know we have to take one game at a time and not look ahead. Every game from here will be extremely tough.

They showed a lot of heart. They stuck some huge threes the second half. I give a lot of credit to them. They showed a lot of character coming back.

Each of the three titles has been special in its own way. This year's title was special because we had a rough start and many people did not believe we could win. We bonded as a team and worked together to achieve our goal.

It?s really awesome. It shows how good our program is. It means a lot this year, especially because it?s my senior year and nobody thought we could do it.
