McGary: "I was diagnosed my sophomore year of high school, when I was 15 or 16. I started having that, and embraced it, learned how to control it, learned how to focus more, on and off the court. I think it's helped me throughout my life. "Going to Brewster [Academy in New Hampshire] and learning more values in school and on the court, I was trying to stay focused. If I got off task, I'd just reel myself in and get focused again." Has it been hard to drastically change your diet? McGary: "I have a few cheat days here and there — don't tell our strength coach. He knows I do. We log what I eat every day, and eat after we lift or after practice. It manages what's bad and what's good. I try to stay away from the fatty foods. "Its tough, but I've begun to build that resistance against the snack foods and junk foods. So it's been good." Can you talk about this particular team? McGary: "This is the last time this team plays together. There are five seniors on this team, and multiple pro prospects, but you never know. With those five seniors leaving, they've left a good legacy on this team. It shows that we made one good, last run at it, with this team together. "I think Zack Novak said it last year: 'This is the only time this team is ever going to play together.' We've left that legacy and showed that we play together as a team, and left it all on the court." — John Borton
