It was nice to have that match before playing the two conference teams. We hadn't played outdoors for a while, so there were some adjustments to make. It was a good match. They fought really hard.

This match-up is turning into a great rivalry. Both teams played well, played hard.

Auburndale has played two of the best teams in the conference already, Stratford and Edgar, ... We really played a good game against Abbotsford, but Auburndale is a solid team and we'll need to put together another good game against this team.

They've played some good teams to get there, and they're playing good basketball right now.

It's nice to be mentioned in the same breath as some of the teams in the 70s. When you're playing well, winning can be contagious.

You can see the light in Bud's eyes when I mention playing football in the nice outdoors again,
