Our kids are up for the challenge. We're pretty excited for that game.
One of the big benefits is getting our kids away from home, sharing (motel) rooms. The camaraderie, the team-building that takes place is a great benefit.
We've battled adversity all year and have been in those kind of situations. Our kids know they're never out of a game. But it looked pretty bleak there for a bit.
We've dealt with some adversity on the season, but our kids know we're never really out of a game. It was defense and rebounding that got us back in it.
They've been in almost every one of their games. Mike's done a nice job over there. Their kids know how to compete and we have a lot of respect for them and their program.
I'm really proud of our kids and their defensive effort. We held them to seven in the fourth quarter and we had about five defensive stops in a row in the fourth that turned the game for us.
