"All around this team has made people think about Pratt differently, and we are hoping to continue that this evening against Barton. The coaching staff believes, the players believe, and our fans believe that we can come out on top tonight, and I hope we keep that as a focus tonight. We are going to have to play hard and play our best, point for point. We will have to earn each point, and we are capable of that when we play together as a unit."
