I'd like to congratulate Adam on his great day. The guys and I all know him really well and he really bowled well all day long. I think this is his third trip to state and we're all really happy he's going to be there this weekend.

We got off to a great start and really gave ourselves a good chance. Then we just kept shooting 1,000 every game. Our low game was 1,001 and we shot 1,005 in the last game of the day. That's what we have to do, we have to be consistent and when we do that, we're pretty good.

It came down to the last frame in the last game. We had some guys make real good shots and Granite City had some unfortunate bad breaks and we won the thing.

But we lived to bowl another day. That was goal number one for us coming into this tournament, to qualify and bowl again on Saturday and we did that. Now, tomorrow, we need to get off early and get going and see if we can make a game of this.

That's something to be very proud of. There are a ton of teams that were plenty good enough to qualify four years in a row that didn't do it. That just goes to show how hard these kids work, and it says a lot about the Edwardsville program. These kids have a lot of heart, they could have quit when things didn't go their way, but they found a way.

We can do it. We've done it before. I wish the kids would quit writing this script for me. I'm not as young as these guys, this pressure is not good for me. But if we can come back again, I'll take it.

We did what we wanted to do -- we qualified. It was ugly, but we got it done and go on to another day.

What I like is the consistency. At the Southwestern Conference Tournament, we only had two scores in the 70s. Today we had five.

This was not an easy test. I played out there today and the course was wet and playing long. If you got off the fairway you had some tough times.

You can't win a state title on Friday. We are taking it one step at a time and just trying to get into the top 12 teams and come back Saturday and have a shot. One step at a time.

Bryce has been really, really good at times and sometimes not so good. He's been kind of inconsistent by his standards. Now, at the end of the season, he's starting to improve and play like he was last year.

That's the kind of leadership I want to see from our seniors. Bryce really came through for us.

They shot a great. I hope this proves to our guys that every shot counts. You have to grind it out on every shot.
