This win is a real tribute to our kids. We lost a lot from last season's team and these kids really put in the time during the summer in order to get back to this point.

It is very surprising that our kids have been able to come together without Kevin. It is a tribute to all four seniors, but it also has to do with our kids' willingness to be coached and listen. Our team chemistry is excellent. The kids are doing whatever it takes to win.

This game was a tribute to these kids. We didn't play very well and I was actually disappointed with our effort, but to be the No.1 seed for the fourth year in a row is definitely a huge plus for us.

It's still fun dealing with the kids. I have depth between the varsity and JV. I'm pleased with their skill level. If we make the tournament, we're going to be dangerous.

He's been a great tribute to East Marshall wrestling from the little kids on up to the high school. He's a leader and kids look up to him. Shaking his hand for the last time brings a few tears to your eyes.

I love each and every one of these girls. They've worked hard on the game, done everything we've asked them to do, and we're going to concentrate on the 26 great games we've played.
