Any man who tries to excite class hatred, sectional hate, hate of creeds, any kind of hatred in our community, though he may affect to do it in the interest of the class he is addressing, is in the long run with absolute certainly that class's own worst enemy.

What I liked is that he really didn't wrestle well and still got out. Having never won a sectional match, I'm sure he felt a lot of pressure. But I hope he wrestles to his ability in the district.
Steve Haverdill
I think our schedule does a great job in preparing us for the sectional. We're looking forward to playing schools our size. We've taken some lumps, but we've learned from our mistakes and we're starting to make progress.
Drew Trost
We have to come back, get better, get ready and get focused for Grove City, and sectional, district and state and see how many guys we can get out.
Jerry Mcswords
Some of the guys on the team had really rough regional and sectional weekends. We took some tough losses, but overall we have pretty good balance.
Jake Madigan
Regardless of who we're playing, we want to play as good as we can this time of year. We had a good practice (Monday), and we hope to be at our best (in the sectional).
Jack Schweers
This has got to be the toughest sectional in the state of Indiana. Everybody can come out as the victor on Saturday night.
Greg Holmes
We're going to have a lot of tough matches and our sectional looks tough. But Landon, Johnson and Knuth are looking good right now.
Rob Bautsch
I was kind of nervous, because so much was at stake. This is my first high school (sectional) meet and there's a lot of competition here.
Jessica Anderson
It was very simple. They came out and we're really ready to play and we didn't come out ready to play. This is the sectional. There are no second chances. By the time we reacted to what they were doing, it was already over. Once you get down against a good team like Hebron, it's over.
Dustin Nelson
Everyone is really pumped up. The sectional is the fastest meet of the year. Everyone is pretty shaved and tapered. We are expecting to swim our fastest of the year.
Steve Klabak
Our goal all season has been to win the sectional championship, so we are going to be ready to play no matter who it is. We are playing with a lot of confidence, but we are not over-confident. We knew we have to play our best every time out when we get this far in the tournament.
Ceola Clark
There are two meets that count (sectional and state), and this isn't one of them. Sure this is a confidence builder, but you want to beat the champions at the championship meet.
Amy Dupont
Our goal was just to get to our sectional and see what we could do after that.
Jon Hampton
The team is really coming together. We are getting ready for the Catholic Conference championship and a lot of the kids are swimming personal best and sectional times.
Brian Buckley
The girls ran a great race. They knew that they'd have to run very well and they did. That gives us a little boost in terms of next week because that sectional is going to be a very tight race.
Gene Jones
Sure, it would be nice to have sectional crowns, but realistically we are honest about playing Homestead. Obviously, the other teams in our sectional face the same situation as we do, so we judge ourselves on how we do against other teams, not Homestead.
Doug Stoffel
For this team to be 15-5 is unbelievably exciting. This (game) is nothing but a sectional prep, not a funeral.
Jim Giammattei
By the end of the year, I hope the kids will think some of the ideas I had were good and that they are happy with the progress they've made. We're going to try and compete as well as we can. By the time the sectional comes around, we'll see what we can do.
Ian Battles
I'm proud of myself, because I went 0-2 at sectional last year. That last match was very close. I just sucked it up and got a big takedown at the end to win.
Kyle Weaver
We're really focusing on Monday's sectional finals.
Todd Sudol
I'm just happy that we're all reasonably healthy now. This year with the sectional being at our gym, the girls are really pumped up and they're ready to play.
Chris George
They did a great job. They competed in the sectional last Saturday and got in the top five which was hard to do, because there is a lot of competition in the southern section. We got third.
Kelly Grapperhaus
Hopefully I can win sectional even though we've got some new teams in there, so it's going to be pretty tough. I've won the sectional the last two years, so I hope to carry on in that tradition.
Jon Zofkie
I'm not so impressed with the eighth-place finish. But the kids wrestled hard and I think we're ready to go into the sectional tournament.
Jim Pappas
A sectional win will not satisfy us, and I think nothing but getting to state will satisfy us. That's a big goal, but I'm excited about this year.
Jordan Backes
But it's going to be harder for us too. I know we're going to have a bright red X on our backs come sectional time.
Robert Cullen
At the end of the third quarter and in the fourth, the kids decided this game was over, and they were going to get ready for (sectional opponent) Marion.
Rick Peckinpaugh
I just think it was due to the multiplier. It kind of moved (the teams) around a little bit. There never was a Salem Super-sectional until this year. That's the only thing I can come up with.
Dennis Koester
Our offense has played well for three straight games. We are coming around the corner just in time for the sectional.
David Weiss
We look to again contend for the division, league and sectional titles.
Bill Doyle
Our kids played hard and pretty well for 36 minutes. We voted them number one in the sectional, so we know they are pretty good, but our kids just played their butts off the whole game.
Donnie Cash
Realistically, I would like to think that eight or nine kids could get to the sectional. If we have a good day, maybe we could get one or two more through.
Steve Olson
They like being that way and it drives them. They won sectional for the first time last year; nobody gave them a chance. They're looking to do it again this year.
Melissa Clark
He's knocking on the door of sectional-cut times in both events. But time to qualify is running short and hopefully Mike does it soon.
Mark Taffe
Winning back-to-back regional and sectional titles, I think I've left it pretty good.
Justin Brock
This has been a dream ever since I have been at McCutcheon, to win a sectional basketball championship. Coach P really put it on us. He said we have to have a look in our eyes that we want to compete. We definitely did right after he said that.
Kyle Peabody
I wanted to win the DVC, and we got a lot more than that. Now we're in the sectional final. I really didn't expect to be here, but I knew it was a possibility.
Kevin Powers
You play to win, so being put back in the Center Grove sectional makes it tougher.
Rod Hervey
They jokingly said we'll see you in the (basketball) sectional finals. I guess it happened.
Scott Gillespie
At the end of the year he really caught fire, and then in the sectional he really got on a roll. I think he was pretty eager to pick up the clubs again.
Tom Workman
It was set up pretty hard. The greens were tough and very hard. There's no consistency between the regional and the sectional which is not good.
Chris Brant
We were able to get things done. It is not just me. We won county, sectional and conference titles. That has been the most satisfying part of it all.
Kevin Kyle
Our competition is so tough at the sectional meet, I felt pressure just to reach state. People were talking about repeating, and I was just worried about getting there.
Karen Kuhlmann
We don't have any pressure on us because everyone thinks Brebeuf is going to win (the sectional).
Lance Robinson
I think if you win this regional (at 119), it will go a long way to helping you place in the sectional.
Dave Baeten
We should have fresh legs for the sectional and that will be good. I was pleased that we came so close to a really good team from Jasper.
Ian Battles
The season can come down to one round at the regional. In the past few years we really haven't had problems in the sectional. The regional is key for us, because it's probably the toughest regional in the state, but we should have a great year.
John Greer
We're not lying to the kids. We know we're not going to win the dual. What we're looking to do is to win as many matches as we can and wrestle well. We want to use it as a barometer going into the sectional.
Vince Trombetti
The only shame is we have Huntington next who we have to battle in the sectional. I'm sure we won't see their ace, and they're not going to see ours.
Brad Fuller
If you could take any record and tell him he could break it, he'd rather take a conference championship, a regional title, a sectional title over any of them. That's the kind of kid Brooks is.
Nick Mcgurk
This game was a great preparation for the tournament. We got a little taste of the MAC and how physical they play before we play a more important game in the sectional. It was a really good preparation for us and I'm glad we played it.
John Schnieders
It's exciting to know that this is going to be a close, competitive sectional. It gives us divers something to really get pumped up over. We have a shot at being the difference.
Jeff Heintz
It was a nice preview of what we'll see if we can get to the regional this year. We were only one point behind a sectional opponent in Gibson Southern. Our goal is to get out of the sectional. There are some things we have to work on to do that.
Ian Battles
I would have rather lost then than now. We lost to (fellow sectional finalist) Carmel by five in the regular season also.
Beth Marshall
Li's third in the 100 free was huge for us. I was very concerned about getting swept, but Peter snuck in there with a personal-best time and a sectional cut.
Mark Taffe
These girls -- and we said this in the locker room -- they made our senior year. I didn't think it'd be quite this fun, but I've had an amazing time. Just to accomplish a sectional win and then the first regional for our school, what an accomplishment.
Kylie York
The boys are probably slightly better, but the girls could go to state, too. There's only three or four teams ahead of us in the sectional.
Kevin Lisk
I thought Jasper competed very well. And I thought we did OK. With sectional starting (today), we need to come out focused every day on playing 'A' tennis.
Patrick Miller
The top team in the conference is definitely Boylan, ... They are the returning conference champs and sectional champs, so they are the team to beat. The rest of us are playing for second.
Steve Price
It was important for us to come out fast tonight after falling behind early last night. We wanted to play two quality opponents on back-to-back nights like we will have to in the sectional and we don't go very deep but I'm pleased with the way our legs held up and I think it shows that all of our conditioning is paying off.
Phil Mishler
I came in thinking if we got six to sectional that would be good and if we got seven, I'd be ecstatic. You know us coaches, we're never happy.
Steve Skorup
I was very pleased with the effort we received up and down our bench. Everyone who got in contributed. We're going to need that kind of continued effort if we're going to defend our sectional title.
Lane Lewallen
This was a good test for her, and she still looked pretty fresh in the finals of the 200 meters. She had a lot left. As for the sectional and state meets, we don't know what events she'll run. But the 100 and 200 meters are both good bets.
Paul James
This whole sectional, there have been a lot of fouls committed. The officiating has been good, but it could be the three-man crew. They seem to catch a lot more.
Mark Horvath
He was probably our most bummed out kid because we came so close to playing for a sectional title. We talked to these kids at the beginning of the season that Peoria is what we should be thinking about. To have us fall a little short is painful.
Brian Hutton
Being able to come here and play them in the sectional finals, it's going to be a big game. They have the shooters on their team, we have shooters on our team. They have their posts, we have ours. I definitely think we match up well with them.
Bailey Hansen
We are making plans to enter into the sectional tournament with the guys we have had in the (wrestling) room all season long. Phil's rehab is just not going as quickly as we would need it to in order to have him ready for the sectional tournament.
John Riggs
It was a tough field and really tough sectional. I'm a little disappointed with our scores down the line. Once again, I always like to count scores in the 70s, we get four in the 70s, who knows.
Dennis Erlich
A lot of these girls got a taste of winning last year when we made it to the sectional finals. I'm hoping that success carries over.
Blake Budrow
Gradually, we got her into the flow of things. She certainly wasn't 100 percent. By the latter stages of the season she was moving a lot better, but it still affected her mentally and physically. Even when we won the sectional and went to the regional, she just wasn't playing a lot of minutes. You just sensed she wasn't ready to go yet at that level.
Randy Yoder
Last year he won the OCC and was second in the sectional and a (Division I) district qualifier. He is one of the better wrestlers on our team and he is a leader.
Nick Burgess
We tapered a little bit going into the meet. To me there's too much emphasis placed on this meet. It goes back to when (the CCL) wasn't in the IHSA and this was all we had. I told the kids this is No. 2 for us. The big meet for us is the sectional (Oct. 29).
John Polka
We try to take it one goal at a time. First, we want to win the division, then the conference and eventually the state sectional.
Chris Raichle
It's a whole new season now. Nobody will remember we are 6-14 if we can pull an upset and win the sectional.
Todd Satterly
We feel like we're playing our best basketball of the season right now. This is a great accomplishment, but the kids are not satisfied. Fremont is a great team, but these kids want to win a sectional championship.
John Maxey
Our goal was to try and have as many girls quality to districts to give them another chance. Some were not even tapered for the sectional. For them, it's about mental toughness and trying to get the best possible seed.
Greg Snyder
We definitely had a very dangerous route through the sectional. But you've just got to find ways to win and these kids have done a great job of stepping up and finding a way of getting it done.
Jimmy Just
We want to win the sectional, then the goal is to win regional and go as far as we can go.
Sarah Pease
The last two years we played for the sectional championship and we didn't win. This year we came through and won it. I think experience is a big part of that. Coming out here, this was a (new) experience. Hopefully, we can learn from it.
Mikel Miller
It was the week of the sectional, so we were fired up all week to practice hard and fix all the little things.
Andrew Howe
Nick England did an admirable job. The kid that he wrestled had pinned by him before at the Thomas Worthington tournament (Feb. 4) and Nick lost by decision in the sectional.
Nick Burgess
That's when we want to be at our best. Everything we're doing now is to help us prepare for the Class AA sectional and state meets. Each meet is just another step we're taking in order to get us ready.
Leroy Millsap
The kids stuck with it, they bonded it at the right time and we played our best basketball in the sectional.
Josh Kendrick
You almost always have to do some decent travel for a sectional. But now we could be looking at going to Macomb, 75 miles away, for a regional.
Don Bigley
I wrestled really well and I feel great because this is my first sectional title. I have a lot of confidence going into district.
Mike Waters
This is the way a sectional is supposed to be. You throw out the records and just play. Mike does a good job them. We knew he would have them prepared to play.
Lonnie Lucas
This is an unbelievable feeling. Coming in and knocking off the No. 1 seed and advancing to the sectional with a losing record. It's going to be a nice two-hour yellow bus trip home.
Dennis Brooks
When you get to that super-sectional, the two teams that get there are good. And if you're going to win the darn state, you've got to play who is in your way anyway.
Dennis Koester
Beating Judson at their place, when a lot of people were telling us that was the best team around, gave us a huge amount of confidence. And doing it again in the sectional was amazing. It took our best effort.
Jeff Marlow
It makes me feel even more proud that I've accomplished not just a sectional cut, but a sectional record here.
Megan Sparks
We have a fighter's chance. Obviously, Chesapeake is still the class of the conference and have proven that up to this point. We have a shot at a No. 4 or 5 seed in the tournament, and if we get that we only have to win one game to win the sectional.
Chad Belville
Last year we were pretty disappointed after beating North Judson in the regular season and then losing in the finals of the sectional. That hit us pretty hard. It was painful. We wanted it a year ago, and it's just built up since then.
Courtney Meyer
One of our goals is we've got to win the conference and we had to win one of the next two to have a chance at that. After that, it's the sectional championship and that's still the ultimate goal.
Bill Sharpe
I had a 102-degree temperature at one point and I wasn't back at full strength at sectional. I ended up throwing up between matches. It was a real disappointing way to end my sophomore season.
Brendan Moore
Every year it is traditionally a great rivalry. We are playing for second in the conference with Rochester. This is a big game for us. It will help us build momentum for the sectional because it will be a sectional type atmosphere.
John Burrus
I guess it's natural that you would rather be a bigger dog in a smaller division than the small dog in a bigger division. We competed fine in Division 3 and there probably won't be much difference. Looking at the teams in our sectional, there is plenty of competition.
Larry Soyk
We're not going to slow down. We've got the sectional at Eisenhower. We're feeling good.
Demario Williams
Even when you get to your sectional seed meeting, you put together your rankings and by the time June comes around, teams are playing at a different level.
Jason Portz
A sectional championship always feels different, but we realize this isn't our goal. A state championship is our goal. This is the first out of four steps to that title. Now we have to get ready for Saturday's regional.
Tyler Brand
We got what we wanted ? winning a regional and a chance to get back home to the Dog Pound for the sectional. We are looking forward to playing Warren on Tuesday.
Brian Colbert
This can be a special team and the first team to get this done. It's the first sectional champion in school history. This team's got it.
Lou Wejnert
This meet has some of the top teams in the state and six teams we'll see come the sectional. This was a good barometer as to where we are at this time of the season.
Steve Lawrence
We had some good seeds in the sectional, which helped us, but we also knocked off some No. 2 seeds. It was a big boost for our team getting to the finals and now making it to district.
Trenton Brooks
That's why we changed our schedule, to help us compete in a very tough sectional.
Mike Hackett
Last season, we had only nine healthy kids. We hope to get quite a few kids out to the sectional meet. If things go well, we have a possibility of winning the regional, but there are a lot of quality teams.
Joe Gordillo
Craig's legacy is yet to be determined. Last year we won a conference championship. This year our goal is to win a conference championship and get to play against Racine St. Catherine's in a sectional final. How he is remembered will be determined by how we finish the season.
Dan Denniston
The goal all year for the girls was to win the sectional. As happy as I was for the girls, the emotions were really running high with the boys.
Jim Dailey
Starting last night (with our win over Mendham in the sectional quarterfinal), we came out with so much intensity and it just carried over. We can be sectional finalists again. Last night we realized that.
Allie Zazzali
It's her choice. She could play in the boys sectional if she wanted to, because the school doesn't have a girls team.
John Dickerson
The girls were not that excited when they won the sectional title. I think they want to take it to the next level, I don't think they're satisfied.
Joe Branda
Our team goals are to have a winning record, win regional, compete at the sectional and finish third or higher in the Girls Catholic Athletic Conference. It's early in the season, so all those things are still attainable.
Jenny Morris
We knew we had the ability to do it. Winning the MML was something we all had our eyes on at the beginning of the year. It felt great to win the league because it meant a lot to us as a team and we knew we could do it, but it's not as big as the sectional or district.
Jarryd Lentz
I think Merrillville is the clear favorite. They've beaten everybody in our sectional and I think everyone would prefer not to have drawn them. ... We get a break with the bye, but we have to beat Merrillville at some point, so why not start out with a chance to beat them.
Greg Kirby
All in all, we swam pretty well going into sectional week. We're right on track where we need to be.
Frank Michalowski
We feel like these last three games are all winnable, and we are looking to build some momentum for ourselves as we head into the sectional.
Michael Wantz
To me, in golf, these tournaments are great, especially if you can win them. All that matters are conference, then sectional, regional and state, because that's what you're playing for.
Kyle Stage
It's definitely an advantage playing all our Sectional games here. It takes time, but eventually you realize it's the same distance to the rim and you start to shoot the ball [well].
David Alston
In many ways this game reminds me of our sectional loss last year to North Central. It wasn't like there was a complete lack of effort. I was just not sharp, focused, and competitive. It's not what we expect and not the way we practice.
Grant Mcvay
It's an amazing feeling to finally win a sectional, but it's just one step for us. We feel we have something to prove with each game, and now we get a chance to prove we belong downstate. That's our next goal.
Jordan Dalton
Finally, we won a sectional. It was exactly what we wanted. The games have been really close. The Hillsboro girls program isn't known for its success. - It's awesome.
Hope Schulte
We were hoping to get a few more district qualifiers. The positive is that all three of our guys who made it were sectional champs. I was pleased with how hard the team competed all day.
John Murtaugh
We've never won a sectional championship at Wheeler. We want to make history.
Nick Pitts
He (his brother Scott) told me this summer you might average 23, but you don't have anything to show for it like a sectional. So I don't care if we score five or 50 as long as we win.
Lance Robinson
I remember when the movie 'Miracle' came out, we took our whole team out to see it before the sectional or district. There are some real important lessons there about pulling together as a team.
Jim Callahan
I thought (the sectional) went really well. We were close to sending seven of our guys to district.
Aaron Schrein
We've got to regroup and get ready for the tournament. It's better to lose now than next week (in the sectional). Hopefully, everybody will bounce back next week. We've got no choice.
Rashad Reed
I like it a lot because the way the sectional shook out, there's going to be four or five teams that are going to be in our sectional that we haven't seen yet that we're going to get a chance to see there.
Vince Trombetti
One of the girls' goals was to get a sectional plaque. We had never done it. They accomplished that. They realize they're only one game away from the promised land. It's huge.
Jeff Froelich
It feels real good because a lot of people thought we were underdogs coming into the sectional. We came out and proved everybody wrong.
Todd Hanni
After not advancing anybody to the sectionals last year, having three flights advance to the sectional finals was quite an improvement.
Randy Juley
We were very close to winning a sectional title. If we would have had (Danny Moore), we probably would have been able to pull it off.
Chance Vangundy
To be able to come in and win 51-10 in the sectional finals says a lot about this team. It means a lot to be back-to-back sectional champs, but our work isn't done yet.
Wade Getchell
Eric wrestled great in the finals. He wrestled a great match. He didn't open up like he did in the sectional finals. He was right there, 5-3 is a close score. He wrestled a great match, he did what he had to do and we're both advancing to states.
Chris Barrick
This is a tough sectional. Through the entire year, we've been working hard preparing for every opportunity we can get.
Brian Shircliff
For all my seniors, we've been mainly focusing on how we are going into the sectional. Everybody has dropped time and that makes me feel good.
Patti Hoch
Our goal all year long was to get balanced scoring, and after the sectional we reached that with five kids averaging double figures. Obviously you want to stop our guards, but our big kid can step up. The more balanced we are, the more difficult we are to defend.
Jeff Guenther
It was a very strong sectional and some of the weight classes were the toughest in the area.
Roger Branham
I'm kind of in awe. I had to remind myself that it wasn't over. Definitely a sectional championship was our goal because we hadn't won one in so long. First we had to get past Tuesday, then Friday, then Saturday. ... Now our next goal is to get past Saturday morning.
Amy Streitmatter
I think the kids now are missing what happened at Calumet. And I agree with the six-team sectional. It's bad.
Mike Urban
So, it's back to practice for us on Monday. The thing I like is that we have three weeks to get things sorted out before sectional. We saw what we need to work on. Now, we just have to focus on it.
John Breeding
We'll be ready for any team in the sectional.
Courtney Neil
It just seemed like everything was working. It's nice to go out of your last sectional with a bang.
Chris Gordon
We knew once the draw came out, if we were fortunate to get by Frankfort, there was a good chance we'd run into West Lafayette. With the type of season they were having if you are going to win the sectional you have to go through them. They are the sectional favorite at this point.
Andy Weaver
We came very close to winning a sectional title.
Chance Vangundy
It was a tough run to get there. We had a double overtime game in the sectional finals and two quality opponents in the districts.
Paul Wayne
I think any loss is disappointing. Obviously we wanted to challenge for the sectional title.
Brian Laffin
It's really disappointing that the kid has never been able to see what it's like to win a sectional game. It's a travesty. I wish we could've won a game so she could've advanced in the playoffs.
Ellen Mager
It was awesome. This group of seniors, I love them. They're my best friends. To go out like we did, winning on senior night and winning sectional, it was amazing. I couldn't ask for anything more.
Eddie Thiebe
I just knew Loogootee was going to win the tournament. They're loaded with seniors and they have everyone back from last year's sectional championship team.
Eric Lyons
My juniors are going to lead us. They were freshmen on the sectional team, so they know what it takes to win and what kind of preparation you need and the hard work. They're all good kids.
Eric Hagan
I think we did amazing. We had 100 percent time drops, except for Drew. He wasn't tapering for sectional. He's tapering for state, but I think we did really well on Saturday.
