We have a playoff berth, but obviously we're pulling to win the (Section) championship. That's where our focus is. We still have some tough section games left. If we can win out, we'll get a pretty good seed.

We had a little payback to do from last year. We came into the playoffs with the same record - 21-3 - and we got bumped out in the first round. That was something we haven't focused on, but for everyone who played last year, I think it was in the back of their mind.
