It was pretty big to tie those guys to get some (tournament) points. We picked it up and played pretty well.

Knowing that the whole community is counting on us, that they're behind us, is a pretty amazing feeling. It's one of the biggest events of the year for both towns; it always has been.

We're all just pretty disappointed. It was a long year, a tough year, a disappointing year. We're a lot better than what we've shown all year. I think everyone knows that. We just didn't come together like we needed to. There wasn't the cohesiveness we needed on this team.

We took a pretty good licking. They were mad and popping the pads.

We're doing pretty good as far as how shallow we are.

My times have improved by about a minute and a half (since last season), ... I trained pretty hard over the summer. Coach (Adam Kedge) gave us a training plan. I tried to run every day. I guess it paid off.
