This says we belong, we belong in this tournament. There are no doubts that we can play with anyone in the country.
Will Thomas
No question about it, the new realignment of teams in our region made this a tough tournament. Our goal was to get eight guys into the state meet. We got six in, which is a good showing.
Marc Procaccini
I wanted to go somewhere where I could play and wouldn't sit on the bench for my last two years because I love to play. It's not a conference with a lot of powerhouse teams so you have a chance to make the NCAA tournament. I love the coaches and I love the team.
Rachel Brazell
I'm very happy to be 8-under so far in the tournament. The Zimbabwean dollar keeps going down and it's depressing to go home. Golf is going down in my country. It's hard to see any up-and-coming golfers the way it's gone.
Marc Cayeux
If we play our game, I really believe that we're able to beat most teams in the country. And now instead of just telling the team that, they have been able to see it and do it. We're definitely ready to go out and win another tournament.
Stacy Phillips
We know that it's an honor to be here and we worked extremely hard to be able to say that we made it to the state tournament and brought home a third place trophy.
Mckensey Long
That tournament should be a good challenge for us.
Kurt Kawachi
Hawaii was great for our team chemistry; to spend time with our teammates and winning that tournament brought us together. But now we're back here and we still have to get stuff done. We won't overlook Tennessee State.
Ross Marsden
I really wanted to win this tournament. We lost [in the final] last week and when I reviewed the video, that really was a match we should have won. I really wasn't myself this weekend, but fortunately Misty picked us up with plays at the end of matches the way she always does.
Kerri Walsh
It's such a spiritual feeling. This tournament is so much part of the culture here and people seem to enjoy that we're here for the first time coming to the Masters. They seem to relive their first time through our experience.
Jerry Conway
We understand how Teutopolis was rated No. 1 in the state. They just came off two losses in the Highland tournament and wanted to prove they were still No. 1. Offensively we played well but defensively they shut us down. They are a very good ball club.
George Reed
The junior varsity was coming off a long day on Saturday where we competed in the Poplar Bluff jayvee tournament and won it, ... The team brought the same intensity to the floor tonight. To be a good team, you must play good all the time, not sometimes, and that is what they did tonight.
Jeff Rogers
This whole tournament, we've taken everyone's best shot. We just had to keep battling through that.
Kip Pulliam
We don't want to just go to the tournament. We want to win the whole thing.
Glenn Thiel
Overall, we had a fairly good tournament, despite everything.
Ted Bresnahan
I never really know what is good or not, how much you win by. If you win by one, five, 10, 20, we're just happy winning the strong tournament.
Allen Terrell
It's close enough that a lot of them can get to it. It's exciting, (but) personally I can't treat it any differently. It's just another NCAA tournament and we've got to stay focused on the game.
Carrie Mason
We discovered how deep our bench is in this tournament. We had a good contribution from everyone.
Mark Erickson
We thought this was a new start with Paco and Loco and Matute, ... We wanted to have the best game of the tournament and I think you could see from the beginning that sometimes you need a little bit more patience and a little bit more time.
Hans Westerhof
Anything can happen in the tournament.
Bill Rockwell
It was a good test for our guys. It's the end of the season with districts only one week away. It gives them a good environment for a big tournament, so it should prep them for districts.
Chad Latch
I think we were tight. We were maybe over-prepared and that can make you play tight. We've been playing a lot better lately. We're in a tournament mentality. I tell the kids, it takes deep commitment to change. It takes deeper commitment to grow. That's what we're doing.
Tony Morocco
It's a numbers game when you go to the state tournament; hopefully we'll get some at large kids. The kids I'm taking down there are competitive. I know they will go down and make some noise; do some damage.
Rob Edelblute
At this point, they should get better every time they take the mat and learn something. It's important that we pull together when it really matters at the conference tournament.
Carl Adams
What better way to prepare for the tournament than playing a team like Memphis. Playing a team of their caliber will do nothing but help us later on down the stretch.
Squeaky Johnson
We had nothing to lose. I think we played a very good tournament and gained a ton of confidence here. We won a close game, lost a close game to a very good team and got a win today.
Chad Ambuehl
We used up so much energy to dig ourselves out of that huge hole. We held back a little early and you can't do that and win at the state tournament.
Travis Temple
Without disrespecting anyone, I have to say today we faced the toughest team in the tournament, in terms of individuals and team play. Whoever we face in the next round will not be a strong as they are.
Jorge Fossati
When we lost to them, it was mostly mental mistakes. We want to win the tournament to show we're the best team in the region.
Malcolm Ford
Our goal this year, just like every year, is to win the State Tournament.
Chad Akins
It was a great win and it was a good tournament for us. It was frustrating to let the big lead get away, but it was nice to see the inbounds play work.
Rick Francis
Hopefully, by our next tournament Oct. 1 in Colby, we'll improve.
Jamie Pinckard
Getting to the state tournament was what we were working for. Our goal was never the streak; it was to win the state championship. Playing those teams definitely made us better, and that's why coach (Bob Vaughan) scheduled those games.
Isaiah Dahlman
This feels great, especially since we didn't even get to the state tournament last year.
Kayla Williams
He loved the fact that the tournament is only 2 years old and we could grow this into something big.
Jim Winans
I am so happy that they got their first tournament win and they made history tonight. I hope we can make more history as they go farther and farther down the road.
Suzanne Street
We destroyed everyone in the first tournament up there. We won everything by submission.
Carl Ragasa
I don't know, this kind of tournament, it's ridiculous to play at this time. Looks like, I don't know, futures -- futures in, I don't know, nowhere. So it's ridiculous.
David Nalbandian
I'm not worried about the rest of the season. We have a very deep team in the America East. We will be seeded No. 1 in the conference tournament.
Lesley Sheehan
Coming off a long tournament at Penn State this weekend, I just don't think we had that spark. But at the same time, Central wrestled quite a dual. They won all the one-point matches.
Tom Minkel
We should beat them, but you can never take things for granted. I think we have an exciting mix in this tournament, and the players will all benefit.
Jenny King
They're getting better. We're strong across the board now. The thing that most impressed me is this is really a tough tournament, I played 15 kids today and they all stepped up.
John Jewell
This is not a bad way to head into next week's conference tournament, but if we hope to come out on top we have to play with more consistency.
Rachael Short
We competed against a very good basketball team in their gym (tonight) and I am pleased with the effort that we put out there. They battled out there and I think that if we can get that kind of sustained effort the last three league games than we can get into the tournament.
Quinton Dale
They have 8,000 fans screaming the entire game. We were confident, but we watched them three other times in the tournament come back from behind. So we knew they were going to make a run on us ? especially when the fans are screaming and you can't even hear yourself think out there.
Melanie Boeglin
A lot is at stake this weekend. This is our only home tournament, so it means a lot to play well in front of family and friends.
Jason Gerken
We're facing state-playoff caliber teams. So, it gives our kids a chance to see the kinds of teams you can expect to see in the state tournament.
Chuck Fehr
Our first goal of the season was to win the preseason tournament. It's a good start. We've already got one thing checked off.
Kevin Freeman
I'm just happy the team is doing well. We're winning games and we want to get to the Big East Tournament. I'm a little more comfortable out there but my teammates are doing a good job of finding me.
Herbert Hill
It's a great tournament. It's the end of the year, and they are excited. They can't wait.
Vicky Maes
He had a good tournament ... had a big goal the other night and played another solid game (Sunday). Hopefully, he comes back with that winning spirit and continues to play well.
Barret Jackman
We feel pretty good about the way we are playing right now. No one really expects anything out of us, so we're just going to go to the county tournament and have some fun with it.
Myron Martin
When you win a tournament like that, actually any tournament, it doesn't matter; there's added pressure on you. Every golfer goes through a rough time in their career, and I went through it the last year or so, but I'm going to try to work out of it and try to stay positive.
Ben Curtis
We have to now try to position ourselves to not only get in the tournament, but fight for a good seed. It's in our hands now.
Marnie Dacko
Sarah Lowe is an amazing competitor. She does a tremendous job of distributing the ball and igniting our defense. She handles pressure very well and is a big part of why we're in the NCAA Tournament.
Carolyn Peck
I think everybody that comes to this tournament looks at it as a tune-up for the postseason. It's a great event for us. Our fans get into it, and our community gets behind it. (The Pulaski Invite) has been a longstanding wrestling tradition and we're glad that we have the chance to keep it going.
Terry Manning
It's not a possibility because of that. Something else may develop. Our first goal is to get into the tournament. That's been our focus.
Jim Schaus
I don't think I've ever played in a golf tournament with so many people rooting against me. It's hard when you know the crowd's not pulling for you.
Alexandra Bodemann
I'm happy I won the Mercer County Tournament, but I'm not satisfied. I'm not sure what would make me satisfied.
Bill Bonnette
Since this tournament and the sectionals began, Ryan Carpenter has been outstanding for us.
George Conley
One of the most important factors is that the players wanted it more than the coach. And that was very instrumental throughout the entire tournament.
Carol Hibbert
I want to work on my technique and sharpen my moves and try to get better. I want to cut down on mistakes. I have to say, I'm excited for the rest of the tournament. I am taking it one match at a time, one tournament at a time - trying not to look ahead to anything else.
Jason Deluca
In a nutshell you're putting a Scott [Tournament of Hearts] and a Brier under one roof. If you look at the teams, that's what you get. You're getting the world's best who play over a yearly period.
Paul Boutilier
The girls played hard and took care of business. They know they deserve to be in the regional tournament, and I'm as proud as I can be for them.
Vernon Carter
I don't want to reveal too much, but I hope everyone will come out and see what we have in store. This tournament is unique in so many ways, not only because of the prizes up for grabs but also for the different elements that we are going to add to the game that will make it even more exciting.
Allen Stanford
In our conference, no one has taken a step back. There's going to be a lot more parity and I think our conference tournament is going to be tougher than it has ever been.
Jill Malko
We wanted to try and win the tournament and we're disappointed in that aspect. But we had a lot of good things happen tonight.
Bruce Hamilton
We're hoping this will begin to prepare us for a national college tournament at Vassar College in the fall. We are also excited to be able to work with members from other clubs and interact with them.
Matthew Robins
It's all thanks to John. He told me to attack the lines and he was right. When Mark told me to do it I didn't have any belief in him because, well because he never got past the first round of any tournament he ever entered.
Judy Murray
We've got some tough matches, but we like to turn that around and say no one really wants to wrestle a Rapids kid in the first round of the tournament. To be champion you have to beat everyone. It's just too bad that some championship caliber matches will be held on Thursday night.
Scott Benitz
We went up and watched Lanier play (in the state tournament) last year. Seeing them last year, it looked like a lot of fun. Now that we're going, we're going to have the fun.
Courtney Ward
(Reese) came out here and beat all the good kids. What a tournament both of them had.
Jack Garrison
You have to leave everything on the floor. It's tournament time.
Tamra Braun
Playing at home was a tremendous boost. For 80 percent of our team, the Champions Challenge was their first high-profile tournament, and to play it in front of your home crowd is a real thrill. It was made more special by the way that people got in and supported their National Team. I know it really lifted the whole group throughout the tournament.
Lee Bodimeade
Chris winning that tournament has made the rest of us a lot of money.
Greg Raymer
The biggest thing is that we're trying to get ready for the tournament. We wanted to find out if our guards would be able to handle pressure, and they responded pretty well tonight.
Luke Cummings
The guys are excited about being in the tournament, and we are ready to play. We have worked hard all season to get to this point, and we don't want to stop here.
Doug Mccarter
I think John's place in Syracuse basketball history is underappreciated, ... We were facing some tough times and he easily could have turned his back on us and committed someplace else, but he stuck with us. During that 1996 tournament, he literally carried us on his shoulders to the title game.
Jim Boeheim
Saturday will be the happiest day of my life. It's a magical date for me. It's the start of the tournament we've been fighting for during the past five years.
Gilberto Madail
In our conference game we killed them and then came to the tournament and lost to them, and we wanted the roles to be reversed, and we did it.
Betsy Rietema
I got plenty of bites, but they were all small. I know I lost this tournament the first day.
Terry Scroggins
We had to get a run. The way we started out, we had to get a run going into the A-10. The way it's going now, it's the way we expected it. We're just really hungry right now. We know we messed up the beginning of the year, and we're trying to go to the NCAA Tournament. We don't want to be one of the teams that go to the NIT.
De'angelo Alexander
It would be nice if you won a regular-season title, but obviously it's not a life-or-death thing. Our No. 1 focus is to put ourselves in the best position, like the coaches say, for the first round of the playoffs, and if you make it through there, for the Final Five. Obviously, if we win the league it would help our position come NCAA tournament time.
Chris Harrington
If everyone does their best and we come out with a win, we're definitely going to have that much more confidence going into the final tournament.
Paula Pearson
I'm happy for Ryan that he was able to get to this point in such a great tournament. I hope he can put the finishing touch on a successful year. It's an unbelievable feeling to see three of my sons come out and do well.
Joe Patrovich
Pretty much last year when we went down to the state tournament most of the kids were happy just being there. This year, most of the kids have set goals. This year it won't just be good enough being down there. We want to make a statement.
Randy Willis
He was [Murray State's] leading scorer when they went to the NCAA Tournament. They have a bunch of good transfers and they have good size. They like to slow it down similar to UCA. They're possession-oriented and they'd rather have the score in the 40s than the 70s.
Jeff Morgan
It's going to be interesting. All of the teams are trying to generate some positive momentum going into conference play. It's a tournament that's pretty much in question. There's not a clear-cut favorite. It's wide open. It ought to be a fun couple of games.
Houston Fancher
I was really happy with how we competed in the semifinals but I was a little disappointed we couldn't have more champions. But the tournament was won so of course we're happy about that.
Robert England
It means so much to our program at Hartford, not just to get a win in the NCAA Tournament, but to get a win over a top-25 program that's been nationally ranked for two seasons. I thought we had a good game plan and stuck to it.
Jennifer Rizzotti
Our ultimate goal is to win the state championship. Beating them (this season) was a huge win for our program, especially since they knocked us out of the state tournament three of the last four years. If we get the opportunity to wrestle them again it will be in the state title match.
Todd Cheney
Central Catholic has earned the respect of all the other teams in this tournament. There was questions about their schedule and them being a Division V school, but they're just as good as any team in the area. They're very well coached and we'll have our hands full.
Costa Aguilar
I know those (P-W) guys. Coming in, I knew it was going to be tough. They play well as a team together. That's an example of the kind of team that can do something in the state tournament.
Tyrone Lewis
If we can get something resolved before the district tournament, that would be great. But when we accept it, we want the field to be the best it can be.
Chris Courtney
We are capable of winning any of the tournament games and the championship.
Chuck Hardt
It's starting to come together. The younger players are starting to understand the little things we've talked about being important to tournament teams and how it all fits into the big picture.
Brian Idalski
They just made the plays, we got to tip our hats to them. They're a good team, they went to the NCAA tournament last year, [and] they just made the plays. There is not one particular play [Ohio made], they made plays all around.
Florentino Valencia
We need to continue to try and get better every game. From here on out every game is important for us for seeding purposes in the NCC tournament.
Sascha Hansen
This is a great birthday present. This is a great turnout here tonight. This is what we want as far as the fans and the support and the enthusiasm of everyone because we want this to be a top tournament for everyone.
Ryland Wagner
We are in the single-elimination tournament point right now, and I don't think our kids are ready to be eliminated. I know this means something to this basketball team and they are going to come out and play like it means something.
Alan Johnston
I thought we did a pretty good job on those guys (Baker and Bacon), but in the end they were the difference. I think our defensive effort was pretty good. We held them to under 60 points, but we just didn't shoot the ball well, and in this tournament, you can't afford to do that.
Gary Justason
We've been solid at the plate all season and I have faith in everyone that steps up to the plate. We had 22 hits the first day of the Sweetwater tournament and I hope we have more performances like that this weekend.
Scotty Nichols
We're clearly delighted to be in the NCAA tournament. We've played Rutgers before and we know their history and tradition, but we have our own history and tradition.
Chris Wielgus
This is the fun time of the year. This is what you put three months of hard work in for. All the regular season is for is preparation for the state tournament.
Jake Shulaw
I have good memories of this place. I think it sets up really well for me. It allows me to be creative, and that suits my game. A lot of guys out here are playing in their first tournament of the year, so that may work in my favor.
Craig Kanada
It's the last game of the regular season, and it makes you excited for tournament time. I think we're going to have a really good run again.
Whitney Lindsay
We are having fun at this tournament, but when we hit the mat, it is all business. We've faced (Milaca) once, so I'm sure we will come out even more focused.
Mike Thorn
If you want to play in the state tournament, you gotta beat the best.
Keith Spencer
Every kids we entered in the tournament, except for the kids who didn't make weight, played for us tonight. That's pretty awesome.
Dan Knight
This is a great tournament because I like to play teams we don't see as often. When you see the same teams over and over, you get used to how they play. But here, you have to react to how the other team plays and that can help us later in the season.
Larry Baker
It (winning the tournament) was one of our goals, and I've never been in a championship game. Coach told us it was a different game. This was more important; it was for a championship.
Kortnee Hines
Our last games are our hardest games. Nothing matters until the tournament starts. You can go undefeated [in the regular season] and then lose in the first round of districts.
Melissa Bibbee
We could have the most difficult, roughest experience throughout my senior year. But if it all ends the way we want it to end ? in the very end with the NCAA Tournament ? it's all worth it.
Shanna Zolman
We're proud to be in the state tournament. This will be a chance for a lot of our wrestlers to compete in Hershey, something some won't be able to experience in the individual tournament.
Chris Mary
We began a cancer fund drive in conjunction with the tournament, ... She was a close friend, and I felt like I wanted to do something to honor her and raise money for cancer awareness.
John Turner
This will be one head -knocker of a tournament. The wrestling will be outstanding with so many weights having ranked wrestlers.
John Murtaugh
I don't want to give you the impression that the Tour was ever going to take the tournament away from Memphis, because we have no evidence of that. But we didn't want to take that chance. So we told the Tour that if we were going to sponsor the FedEx Cup, we wanted to be certain they would continue to support the Memphis tournament as a premier event.
Mike Glenn
We're excited about it (the championship). We put ourselves in position to be in the game tonight, and the girls just did a good job throughout the tournament.
Barbara Helms
I think the kids from Liberty and Staunton River are going to surprise some people. I think our Seminole is going to have a strong showing at the state (tournament).
Don Shuler
I was sick all through the tournament. But I had to suck it up. I had to for the team. It's tournament time, the championship game. You've got to make everything happen.
Ceedrick Ware
It'll be interesting to see what happens at the conference tournament. Our kids will be dropping down a weight class for the first time this season. Maybe that will make a difference for us.
John Mesenbrink
We are very happy. But unfortunately people measure you by what you do in the tournament.
Nelson Cundiff
We set up ourselves for some adversity. You're the first ones here and you're the last ones to leave. We're tired, but yet we don't let our team have any less expectations. We've only won our tournament once, and that was in 1999.
Glynda Rice
Winning the conference and winning the tournament doesn't guarantee me coming back. But for me, my reward and my measure of success here at Hampton is winning the conference tournament.
Bobby Collins
The tournament is a great idea. It gives every team something to play for aside from winning a four-team regular season division. It's for bragging rights in the area; it will draw great crowds and it should generate publicity for a sport that lacks publicity in southeastern Connecticut.
Andy Emanuel
He really threw like we expected him to at the start of this season. I hope (the no-hitter) gives him all the confidence in the world because we'll need him in the state tournament.
Jonathan Howell
An energizing, offensive start to the tournament.
Ian Bridge
It is unacceptable for a country to spend tens of millions on hosting a soccer tournament whilst millions of its people live in squalor.
Chris Eubank
No one on our team has ever gone to the NCAA Tournament. No one on our team has had a chance to say they've won a Sunshine State Conference Championship. Those are two major things I would love to have on my resume.
Mark Borders
We'd like to go undefeated in the conference, win the tournament and win a regional. Those are wonderful goals to have.
Jay Melton
We have a chance to spin our season around. We can show we are the Wildcat team (and) we are ready for the NCAA Tournament.
Lukasz Obrzut
We will continue to do what we do best. We will work on refining that and getting ready for the tournament.
Kevin Renbarger
For us, it's been a little bit of a disappointing year. Right now, if you're not ready to play in the tournament, I don't feel like you're much of a competitor. We've been talking about the tourney all year.
Betsy Blose
From what I saw over the weekend, Mount Pleasant has to be considered the team to beat this weekend. Mount Pleasant is solid from top to bottom. They are the most balanced of any team in the tournament.
Chuck Tursky
I told Rae, I would rather have her diving and calling timeout than have someone standing and giving up a hoop. Rae played a great tournament.
Stan Swank
We're just going to play hard all through the tournament. We didn't want to get last place. We want to do our best.
Becky Christofferson
From what I've seen, I think this kid could be pitching in September in the big leagues. He's that talented. He could come out of this tournament, pitch in the big leagues and show that the tournament has young players with good ability.
Ramon Webster
To even make the state tournament was a feather in our hats.
John Windham
With the tournament sold out, great weather and a great field, it's not surprising that were experiencing some delay.
George Breed
Whether it's the girls sophomore basketball team, or the boys on their club teams, or any activity they're in, these kids from Geneva really showed that they're winners. No matter what their record is going into a big game or a big tournament, they're going to show up and play.
Ryan Estabrook
It probably hasn't happened many times [in the 53-year history of the tournament]. There have been a lot of brothers who have wrestled in this tournament, but there can't be many who have won the same year.
Chris Como
It wasn't easy coming back after one day but they came out well. Hey, it's tournament time.
Tim Ortelli
Josh really settled down after that first-round loss Thursday and has had a really strong tournament since. I think he came in a little tight even though he's been here before. He finally relaxed and has wrestled real well.
Shawn Bradley
She is extremely competitive. Whether it be in practice, an exhibition game, or a NCAA tournament game, she always brings the same everyday.
Mark Francis
(Mayfield) has been stepping up for us. He had some big games in the region tournament and he picked a good time to have one of his best games of the year.
Harry Marsh
I think now our seniors have that same opportunity to share (their 2004 NCAA Tournament) experience with these freshmen.
Carolyn Peck
That's after everybody else has beat each other up for two or three games. I think we've definitely earned the spot that we're in. This the best place to be going into the tournament and we've never had that luxury before.
Tiffany Tootle
It is a little bit worse than last year. Cesar Chavez is going to be a challenge in league, and obviously Union is again too. We have some tough games left in this tournament.
Don Chandler
It's also nice to play teams we normally wouldn't get a chance to see. It's an excellent tournament.
Keith Padgett
At this tournament, it doesn't matter what your record is. Nothing matters. It's just that one game, and either you win or you lose. If you lose, you're done. We had to keep working hard. We knew we had it in us.
Katie Delong
It's a tough tournament. We're just gonna have to play hard and compete. I'm not so sure there's much of a gap, when it's all over, between the first place team and the eighth place team.
Tony Marshburn
Our tournament is great, because you can come and get up close to the pros and get autographs after they are done playing. You can almost reach out and touch them.
Judy Mcdermott
We need to focus on the one game at a time philosophy. We have a very tough league schedule and that will prepare us for the tournament.
Tara Garrett
The schedule was more difficult this year including duals with schools much larger than Logan-Magnolia. Going against tougher competition raised our level (of wrestling) to survive and prepared us better for the state tournament.
Kent Kersten
Its kind of nice only having to go 15 minutes for a tournament game instead of an hour.
Joe Balestracci
I'm not too concerned over the NCAA Tournament. We still have a few games left to play, and we'll worry about the tournament when it's time.
Julian Terrell
We wrestled a very solid match. We're pleased with our progress and we have two weeks of practice to sharpen up before the VOL Tournament.
Jon Abernathy
We start off the season playing man-to-man. That?s our main defense. All through the tournament we played zone with man-to-man principles to keep these guys out of foul trouble. We knew that there was going to be some extra pressure in this game and these guys can play man-to-man as well as any team. Those last three possessions, these guys wanted it.
Gervais Barger
That is difficult. The combination of having to finish the district schedule two weeks before the tournament and not wanting to play district games before Christmas makes us load up on our schedule.
Gary Goode
Bradshaw is a much tougher opponent. They have a couple of players going to the State individual tournament, so you know that they have quality kids. Their No. 1 and No. 2 are especially good.
Tim Kessel
I?ve learned it?s a million miles from winning the tournament, and I think that has helped me. Obviously, there?s no point thinking about winning until Sunday. It can only get in your way until then.
Justin Rose
We were really close all tournament and we felt we had a chance to win it. We were able to play in the last group for the first time in a long time and that was a great experience builder. That was a really big step for our program and we are beginning to move in the right direction.
Donnie Darr
I think we did a smart thing to slowly get him into this tournament. He's 100 percent and he's working hard and he's getting better and better, and I hope he has his best game in front of him.
Bengt Gustafsson
We looked real good. We were the best team in the tournament in the opening 20 minutes. We just have to learn to play with leads better.
Jay Schwarzrock
I've got to go low tomorrow just to make the cut and stay in the tournament.
Morgan Pressel
Dublin Scioto is a very good team that will present a good challenge for us. With the way the tournament is set up, there's no easy opponent who you would like to pick to play in any round. But, of course, we love to have the opportunity to play Scioto, because it means we're moving on to the next round ourselves.
Kevin Logsdon
They're all 'A' schools and they're good 'A' schools. It's a good tournament and I'm glad to be part of it.
Monica Tooley
I won a key hand that put me in great shape in a big tournament. If I had been listening to music, I don't think I could have made the call.
Howard Lederer
This was without question the best tournament I have ever been to. It was tremendously well-run, and it was a good experience for the kids. There was also a great atmosphere in this tournament in every game we played in.
Buddy Carlisle
He just needed a little confidence. I think, in the tournament, he's gotten better and better. For a young kid, he handles things well. He was huge tonight.
Jim Riccitelli
But this new tournament has given us something new to aim for.
Dean Williams
People are going to keep saying stuff, but we know that we belong in the tournament. We're just going to show people that we do.
Jacob Burtschi
It feels good to be playing a junior tournament again. It has been quite a while. I love the Easter Bowl, with all the age groups here, and both boys and girls, the atmosphere and activity here, as well as the tough matches, there's nothing like it.
Donald Young
I think this tournament really showed us what we can do with a full team. We haven't had a full, healthy team until this point and we're gaining some confidence that we can play with good teams.
Chad Ambuehl
Early on we struggled, but we came together at the end. We won seven of our last nine to end the regular season. We thought that was good enough to get us into the tournament, but it wasn't quite enough again.
Jackie Adamshick
It is a really big week for us. The tournament draw is Sunday and we have to go in with a decent record. If we can have a productive week, it will help the seeding for us.
Jim Habermehl
We're undefeated in March. We talked about getting two wins going into the tournament. We accomplished our goal for the week. We put ourselves in the best position we could be after the last week.
Jermaine Bucknor
It's been a very successful season so far and it's great to get a chance to finish the year playing at the state tournament. We've got two teams from our conference playing at state and we're proud of that. We're excited about the challenge that's in front of us. Everyone connected with our program can't wait until Friday. It should be a lot of fun.
Brian Richert
It's not much different than any other tournament, the main difference is maybe a lot of our policies that the players don't know. But play ran very smooth today and the golf course is in great shape.
Michael Combs
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
Every tournament I train the same. No matter if it's Wimbledon, the US Open, or Forest Hills you train the same.
Anna Smashnova
It's tournament time. There's a different focus. There things this team wants to accomplish. We don't want to put our uniforms up yet.
Tony Pittman
When you can do something like this that enhances the facility, I can go to the PGA and pitch a world-class practice facility. There's no guarantee for any city that a golf tournament is going to stay around here.
Jonathan Gruber
You'd see all the old immortals back for a family reunion. You used to look forward to coming to the veranda as much as the tournament. It has history, it's kind of exclusive and fun to be a part of.
Dan Jenkins
Without continuity and without the core of players bringing a lot of experience to this tournament we would have had no chance. We have an average of 100 national team games among our 22 players.
Ralph Krueger
The bottom line in tournament play is just to advance, and while we were short-handed, we just wanted to pull the win out. It was a gritty performance.
Wendell Jeffries
When you end a tournament on a loss it leaves a sour taste in your mouth. We missed more serves in the championship than we should have.
