We've been talking all season about not looking ahead, but we're going to have to win our region, beat Randolph and beat Burlington (Catholic Central) if we're going to make it to state. We're going to go after Randolph with an attitude of winning. They haven't lost a playoff game in four years, they're bound to lose one sometime. It would be great if we were the ones to do it.
