We'll just have to do a little bit of fund-raising. I think this shows the interest there is in high school basketball -- and it shows how much money there is out there in it.

The first one in the PIAA playoffs is always the hardest one, but you have to get your foot in the door.Fred Skrocki
There's always pressure that way, with the alumni who played here. That's a given coming in. That has not affected us. I think all teams are different. The last time we were up here in 2001, you can't compare. Each team brings a different personality. I just don't get into that. Each one is different for me.

You know, we have to learn to button it up, to be quiet and just play basketball. The refs seemed to be looking for things a little, though, but it is up to us to keep our mouths shut.

I've been here for 24 years. I've been up there when we beat Perry in '91, when they had a team with Will Macon and Eddie Benton that was almost like us. We had a team that was determined. I tell the guys, 'This is two of the best going at each other, and they're not afraid of your ranking or your record.' They realize the importance. With one team moving on and the other going home, it raises the stakes.
