Kids who come here, I see them grow. My philosophy is not winning and losing. When I see a kid like Tracey, it puts this job in perspective.
You never know what another person is going through. All of my players are like sons to me. Tracey just needed a little extra attention. Kids like Tracey make it special for me.
I think our kids learned something from this experience. Anytime you come on this level, and in this place, and lose by 14 and outscore them 41-32 after halftime, it shows we're not a team that's ever going to quit.
I think our kids showed a lot of character getting back into the ball game. We fell so far behind that we used so much energy getting back into the ball game.
These kids deserve to play. We're going there to try to win the championship.
