WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE SEASON SO FAR? Besides Russellville, I think we’ve had a pretty good season and I think we should’ve beat Russellville. (The key has been) hard work.
WHAT'S BEEN THE HIGHLIGHT TO THE SEASON SO FAR? Beating Catholic.
WHAT'S IT GOING TO TAKE FOR THE TEAM TO BE SUCCESSFUL THE REST OF THE SEASON? We have to come together and we have to click on all cylinders. Everybody’s got to play to the best of their ability.
