What they’re saying

“I think there's four guys that have been here three or four years, and they've really built this program from where it was. The atmosphere tonight — that's because of these kids. The band, the crowd — you can't ask for much more. There's nothing better than high school basketball when everybody's here. It was a lot of fun tonight.”

— Jason Harmony, Head Coach (KYMA)

“We've got to win out. We've got to take care of business — and not just win, but have convincing wins. After that, it's kind of up in the air. But if we sneak in and have to travel somewhere, we're going to play our butts off.”

— Jason Harmony, Head Coach (KYMA)

“From day one, we've really grown together. They say 'family' all the time — and it feels like a family. It feels like a bunch of brothers. It's just really fun to watch when they're playing that hard.”

— Jason Harmony, Head Coach (KYMA)
