Ty is the perfect example of that. He had played a little bit but never gave up. When Adam Bridgeforth got hurt, he stepped in and really has had an All-League type season. Answered the bell every time. I'm so happy for the senior year he's had. For him to be a huge part of winning this championship – those are the stories that you tell future teams. You need kids like that to be successful."
