"I have no idea [what went through my mind], I was just happy. It was kind of surreal and I'm trying to experience every second of this while it lasts," Mike said after the game."He's an exceptional talent and he's done great things for us all year-round. He's a gamer," said Scarborough coach Chris Exilus about Barber. "But there are so many people connected with this win. That's what makes it so special.
"It means everything. To lose last year was heartbreaking but I'm not even worried right now," said Mike.
