I have to be happy with that. It's the best Carmel has ever done at sectionals, and we finished ahead of powerhouses like North Rockland, Suffern and New Rochelle. Mahopac is a very good team. But our guys did a very nice job.

This is our best chance to win it yet. With 13 solid kids going we have an excellent shot. A lot of things have to fall into place, but it's up for grabs for whoever works the hardest. The guys are psyched.

I'm absolutely thrilled. This is a great group of kids and some great newcomers. They put it all together - they all work hard and we have depth. They all made a concerted effort and put together a wonderful season. And it's not over yet.

Any time we go against Mahopac, it's always a great match no matter what our prior records are. This year, we've got a particularly tough team.
