PBR: Recap your junior season for us at Eureka.  Describe the journey to the Class 5 Final Four. Name some players that played a key role for Eureka in 2015.

Stamper: This season was amazing!  Making it to the Final Four!  We achieved what had only been done once before in our schools history!  We came together as a team from day one both on and off the field.  We jelled from the start.  This was a key factor that contributed to our success!  Our starters Blake Clines, Bo Highfill and Nate Witherspoon paved the way for us and their great performances enabled  the rest of the team to step up as well.  Our coaching staff worked us hard and had confidence in all of us. This is a year I will never forget.
