It hurts to lose a game you expect to win at any point in the season. The finality of a loss like this in the playoffs is what makes it so brutal. During the season there is always a "next game" to think about and get back to the win column.

This is what aggravates me when some fans say their team worked harder is why they won state.it is simply not true. kids that play on teams with not much of a winning tradition still put their heart and soul into it and work as hard as anybody. imagine kids putting all the time and work in and never get a win.
