Chad averages 15-16 points a game for us. I think from there we just struggled with the fact we were a little short on the rebounding side. We tried to pound it inside but our jump shots just didn’t fall. We rallied around losing Chad, I mean the biggest spread in the game was four points either way. It was a really close game, they had a three-point lead at the half so there was great defence being played. Everyone’s asked me if I’m disappointed … no way. What these kids have accomplished this year is amazing. For a west coast team from a small locality … disappointment is a word that’s not in our vocabulary. We have six titles to our name this year, we’ve lost one game of basketball … Nowhere near disappointed.”
