It was a long weekend. On Saturday we stayed with Fort Kent - who are undefeated in conference play - until the end of the game.

Dave Mellor

This is definitely a step in the right direction. It's a goal for us to go undefeated during the regular season and win Five Star. But it's not going to be satisfying enough to our kids until we can get that state title back.

Mike Randow

We've done well so far with just the one-point loss, but we've still got Trinity again, North Hardin again and undefeated Holy Angels left to play. Those are three tough games, but we're looking forward to the challenge.

Jim Maurer

It's a dream to have a last game like that, to send our seniors out undefeated in front of a crowd like that. It just took us 20 minutes to get going and get aggressive, but we did.

John Tharp

It's a big win because it keeps us undefeated and keeps everything out in front of us, ... There's so much attention paid to this game for a number of reasons, because it's a rivalry and the things that have happened the last couple of years. I think the most important thing is the game is for bragging rights. This year, anyway, it's our time to brag.

Mike Shula

No one is going to go undefeated in this league. If we win our next game, we still can control our own destiny.

Kelvin Garnett

It is a nice accomplishment to go undefeated in the league.

Bob Donovan

The basketball team went undefeated and I didn't want to be left out. The football team went undefeated as well.

Bill Buchanan

I said at the beginning of the season (our success) was all going to depend on when we came together and played as a unit. But did I think we would be undefeated? Absolutely not.

Tom Kriz

It's such an elite group. A four-time state champ is an unbelievable accomplishment. Undefeated, even better. If it does happen - and it is my goal - it would be an honor.

Jordan Blanton

If you go undefeated and you do what Auburn did last year, I don't know about them but I'd argue until the day I die that we were the best team that played in the year 2005.

Brodie Croyle

We should be awesome next year. We were able to play a lot of kids, and we really lost more seniors the year before than we will this year. Our freshman and junior varsity teams were undefeated.

John Wrenn

They're smart. When you have players who are talented and smart, it makes a big difference. That's why they're undefeated.

Chris Kusnerick

Going undefeated in the City League, that doesn't happen very often. I've got to tip my hat to my kids. That's an outstanding feat.

Joe Suboticki

It's a high-low. Yeah, we played a close game against an undefeated team. But we lost another game.

Antoine Blunt

We're thrilled to be undefeated. Our first loss won't bother us. We don't want to lose. If it does happen, we're good enough to come back.

Nick D'orazio

Oh, I always won the game when I was practicing growing up. I'm undefeated. . . . If I missed, I got fouled.

Kelly Golob

We only have three games left and we would like to win them all of course. The girls are hoping to make it to play the undefeated Montpelier and force their first loss. We will play them next week.

Rick Peck

You gotta play the best in order to be the best. It does us no good to be undefeated heading into conference play. We want to make sure we've seen some good teams before we get (into conference).

Marty Smith

We knew that one of us was going to have an undefeated season and not win the national championship, which is a shame.

Garrett Smith

We could have gone undefeated and still ended up in the same position, in the Sugar Bowl.

Bryan Mcclendon

It's going to be interesting to see how he reacts to his first loss. His goal was to be an undefeated state champion. The undefeated part is gone, but he can still be a state champion. I guarantee nobody's going to work harder in the next two weeks.

Ron Ledbetter

I think we had one of our best starts in our whole season. We just played our game; we weren't going to change it. It's kept us undefeated so far.

Leslie Hardesty

Two years ago, (Wali) beat our No.1 player, who went undefeated except for that match.

Victor Albert

(Wagner) was a 17th seed, he's had an awesome season. He was undefeated, it's a nice way to finish up a career.

Carrie Bores

We had the game won. Their guys were down on one knee. They were broke. They thought it was over. Then, all the emotions changed within two seconds. It ended all our dreams. Not many teams can go undefeated. We had that opportunity.

Rick Comegy

Our skill players are talented. We're not as big but we're quicker on the line. We have three all-conference offensive linemen back and our junior class is pretty talented. Our goal is to go undefeated. I'm excited. These kids are fun to watch.

John Casson

I would love for them to be the first, but I'm for anybody. If you play a good schedule, as determined both by the opinion pollsters and the computer polls, and you go undefeated, you should have a chance to play at the highest level.

Craig Thompson

I would be lying if I said that an undefeated season has not yet crossed my mind. Running the table would be great for our school.

Matt Benefiel

We talked about it the week we were undefeated, about how we've always been the one chasing the team with the target on their back. Now we seem to be the one wearing the target.

Patrick Joyce

Seeing that match gave me motivation. Ryan was undefeated and a returning state champion. To see him lose it showed me no one's invincible.

Darrion Caldwell

We were undefeated in the conference coming into championships, but we had holes in our line-up in championships that we can cover in dual meets.

Tim Powers

We knew it was going to be a good game. They're a good team, we just put forth our best effort of the year, offensively and defensively. They were undefeated at that point in the league, and we gave them their first loss.

Tom Fitzpatrick

It was awesome to go undefeated. We are going to celebrate tonight but we have to come back and work hard if we want to win the tournament. We would love to play Illinois in the final like we have the last few years. It's always a great match when we play them. We have guys that thrive off of big game atmospheres and it's always special when we compete against them.

Ross Wilson

They're undefeated and the #1 ranked team in North Dakota. Their program is very strong.

Jeff Perreault

You never want to start with a loss but it's a long week and we never thought we'd go through undefeated so that means we just have to bounce back tonight.

Jennifer Jones

I don't know if something went wrong for our pitcher. I just think that they're a very good hitting team. They showed why they're undefeated. That's a good baseball team.

Paul Duplessis

I'm a little disappointed we didn't get more runs after that one big inning where we had six runs. We're playing fine. We'll find out where we are when we have a test against an undefeated Newton North team on Friday.

Bill Tompkins

It's huge, we were able to cap undefeated season, going 27-0. The support was great, the parents, and especially students past and present.

Dave Lubick

This was our three-peat so we can get that up there that we were undefeated for three years. That was our goal this year, but that's not the only goal. We want to get at least one game further in the playoffs than we did last year, and I think we have the potential to do that.

Jenny Cook

(Ole Miss) had a great week. Their team hit over .300, and they've done some good things. They're coming in here undefeated (1-0), so we're going have to be ready to play Friday night.

Bill Walton

It's a nice way to go into Redondo, undefeated in league. We're going to have to play a perfect game both offensively and defensively against Redondo, and they're going to need to have to an average game for us to have a chance, but it's basketball. Anything can happen.

Don Braunecker

I think it's so good for women's basketball. I feel like five or six years ago, the No. 1 team was so far ahead compared to other high-ranked teams. We had four undefeated teams at one point late in the season.

Lindsey Harding

I was hoping they would win, so it would be undefeated vs. undefeated. It's still a huge game. It's going to be about our kids being ready to go. They're a tough team and they give us problems on their home court.

Jen Rizzotti

I hope it doesn't creep into anything. We just have to remain focused now that we're the only team in the nation that's undefeated. We have the biggest target on our back that we've ever had. So I just think we have to stay focused because anybody can be beaten on any given night.

Erlana Larkins

I think being undefeated is quite an accomplishment. We have raced 11 of the top-20 ranked teams so far. It gives us a little more confidence going into NCAA knowing we've raced and done well.

Erin Cafaro

It was a great win on Saturday. It's awesome to be undefeated in league play. On Sunday we laid an egg. We didn't play defense, it's something we have to address.
