As a team, we have a lot of work to do. This was several of the girls' first varsity race. We were also missing two runners to illness.
Mark Boggs
She has been key for us. She's a four year varsity player who does a great job controlling that middle and distributing the ball. She did very well.
Laura Paro
We've got a lot of talent in the freshman and sophomore classes. We just have to wait and see if they can step up into major roles on the varsity.
Chad Sitarski
The varsity kids dedication is beyond explanation. I think that everyone played club volleyball, and they chose to do it on their own. It costs money and time to do that.
Tony Phelps
This time we're gifted with a lot of depth. On any one day, more than twelve of our varsity athletes can post excellent rounds among significant competition.
Brian Shircliff
He's been a good junior varsity wrestler.
Chris Lynn
The story of the week is probably the junior varsity team.
Will Miller
All of the seniors have been playing varsity since our freshman year, and we haven't won the section title yet. Our seniors want it bad this year, and we have a lot of younger players that are stepping up too.
Katie Riley
Andy Kohn is a good example. He was fourth last year as a J.V. kid. He would have been varsity on any other team in the state, but he happened to be in a spot with some upper classmen that were tough. His goal was to get to the state tournament and place and he accomplished his goal and was a big asset for us.
Rich Malia
She's way confident. Her confidence level has gone way up since the first game. Once you get some game time experience in varsity ball, you know what the hitters are going to do. You know what to throw, what not to throw, and you get smart.
Maegan Anderson
It's not often you find freshmen on the varsity. Floor is an area as a team where we are not as strong.
Carla Peterson
I had to step up for my team. I'm a four-year varsity starter. There's 10 of us seniors on this team who have been playing together since the second grade. We're like members of a family. We believe in each other.
Meghan O'shea
We've still got quite a few sophomores that are in there for the first time playing their first varsity game. They thought after we scored two that the game was over. We reminded them when we went in at halftime that we've got another 24 minutes to play. Plus, some kids were getting tired and we had to sub people in, so that broke us down a little bit.
Jay Noonan
He did a good job in his first varsity start. He's been pitching with a cast on his left hand, under his glove, from a football injury. He's a tough kid.
Clay Mccammon
We just did not play the way a varsity baseball program needs to. No one was into the game, and it was a total team effort because everyone was out there almost like they were sleeping.
Richy Brooks
She's been a varsity starter at least part-time since her freshman year. She's a smart player and a real tough competitor. I think she's added a pitch. Now she's got more to work with.
Karen Karch
You really don't know how a young man's gonna do at the varsity level. Some of them just jump right out at you and you know it and you can't wait for them to get to you. (With Mason), I'm very surprised, let's put it that way.
John Greene
The novices really came through for us. The second novice kids were racing in the third varsity, so basically the novices won every race for us.
John Fuchs
I'm kind of limited in what I can do. I only kept seven girls on varsity, so I'm always going to have some starters in the game. We don't have a lot of flexibility with our schedule, so we're going to have some games where there's going to be a mismatch.
Mike Quarto
It's a varsity program, so the emphasis is on winning. Winning is more fun. No one likes to lose, but the three cornerstones that we focus on when we begin each season are: We want the girls to improve, we want them to have fun, and we want them to learn sportsmanship.
Friend Weiler
This was probably the first time in quite a few years that we came into a varsity basketball game in the Classic 8 Conference as the favorite. The kids knew that, too. I thought we handled that situation very well. We haven't been in that position in a long, long time.
Mark Ritter
I thought we did the things we wanted to do tonight. The first quarter we played a lot of our starters and scored once with the varsity guys.
Jeff Boger
I think last year might have been a surprise, because last year, there was a thought that he could play and help us as a freshman without ever seeing him in a varsity game. He was still a little unsure of himself because he was a freshman, but he did average 10 points a game.
Lynn Washowich
I saw him play as a freshman. I wasn't sure if he could play varsity. He didn't have the freshman year that he would have liked to have had. We let him play with us during that summer. He played with seniors last year and came off the bench. He got better and better as the season went on.
Gary Ernst
We don't quite have the depth from last year. We're definitely strong through seven, but there's more of a drop-off. We don't have ten to 12 guys who you could plug into basically any Varsity in New England [like last year].
Matt Lacey
They had just five regular varsity players. We tired them out and that was the game.
Henry Fleck
Our success will depend on how fast the juniors and sophomores can adjust to the varsity game. We have a very talented younger group. This first year AA will be a challenge for us.
Derek Avery
We have some seniors that have been playing on the varsity level for four years now and we set some big goals for ourselves from the start. We wanted to get the district title back and we did that. Now we want to make some noise in the playoffs.
Miriam Richards
Lou played well. He started one game last year, but this was his real varsity debut.
Brian Adkins
The biggest problem that I see in officiating is in basketball, with everybody going to three-man crews. Soon there will be three-man crews for every game, both boys and girls. Let's say there are 200 varsity games in the state on a given night. That means you need 200 more officials.
Dan Dawson
I played a terrible game against them last year. Maybe my worst game in three years on varsity.
Marvin Bembry
Our attitude and work ethic have been great with this group. This pre-season went above and beyond my expectations. But, we have inexperienced players who do not have a lot of (varsity) game experience. But, I feel good about being able to compete.
Rocky Nelson
Our coaching staff has some significant changes. Mark Hagen has returned as the varsity assistant. His experience and savvy will pay immediate dividends to our players.
Tom Konkol
It was a nice win for us. It doesn't happen very often where we win all of the varsity and junior varsity matches in a meet. All of the girls played well.
Donalyn Woeste
I have been coaching there [the] last three years as the pitching coach with [head coach] Matt Cleveland and the varsity squad.
Steve Rosenberg
The whole family is involved in sports. Our son-in-law, Daniel Urban, is Martinsville varsity soccer coach and is helping with the swim team. Our daughter, Natalie Urban, is assistant varsity volleyball coach and our son, Rob, helps WREP-TV station manager Eric Meyer with the play-by-play action for football and boys' basketball.
Theresa Rhoden
It's her first year up to varsity and she played great.
Roberto Abele
The thing is we're young and we're going to make mistakes. We just have to hope we don't make critical mistakes that derail us. With so many young kids playing their first varsity games, we're really going to rely on our seniors.
John Margarita
We actually joke about it, how we don't look like a typical varsity team. And I think teams do underestimate us because of our size. Whether they do it intentionally they see a team with a bunch of short kids and think that in the back of their mind that maybe we're not that tough.
Greg Schrimpf
Jordan Baker's a 10th-grader and against North Hardin (10-3) he played the whole JV game and just about the whole varsity game. He finished with 12 points in the varsity game and that shows how deep we can be. We're getting production from our whole team.
Jim Maurer
She was incredibly frustrated. She's young and she doesn't have much (varsity) experience. She's learning through all of this. But she has to understand that she has to stay focused through everything.
Kristi Reller
He's an exciting player to watch. We moved him up (to varsity) as a sophomore, and I knew he was going to be something special then.
Mike Setzer
Due to circumstances, some players had to fill different roles at the varsity level. All the guys work hard, and I was proud of their effort.
Eldon Dorsey
I have a junior varsity team playing varsity basketball.
Reed Jackson
I've seen her pitch in the summer and when she pitched on the (junior varsity). This was her first outing on varsity. I was really happy with what she did.
Earl Larson
I'm really impressed with our depth. Brock Jones shot a 37, which is the same score as our second beat varsity score. It's just exciting to me. We have a bunch of good golfers. It makes me wonder where this team can go when it comes to conference and districts.
Zack Nixon
Jessica is a freshman on varsity who is doing very well.
Eyre Becker
She's one of the only freshman on the varsity squad and she's been able to pull off amazing feats between the last meet and this one.
Eyre Becker
There is only one senior out of their seven varsity players, so I know I'll have to compete for a job. It's going to be tough to break in, but it will also be fun. I know I can hit with everyone on the team. It's just a question of where the ball lands.
Evan Hunter
We'll play the j.v. and they play the varsity. Rather than get destroyed, we get (our kids) to play the right way.
Errole Rembert
He did a great job. He put the ball into play. He stepped in as a freshman in his first varsity game and hits a double in the gap. It's kind of an idea of what he is going to be - he's going to be a great kid for us.
Eric Nieslanik
This was good for the kids both in JV and varsity. Every body won but one and getting that first win under your belt will be good for their confidence.
Eric Lyons
I was worried about my varsity getting in a rut, but they picked it up tonight. Their intensity was great.
Erin Hoffman
We've basically been playing a similar offense, we run the same offense. The purpose of the junior varsity is to work together. It's not about wins, it's about getting better.
Erin Delaney
Our boats are never set. We have about twelve girls that could probably be in the varsity boat.
Erin Cafaro
Brian is on his third year on varsity and we want him to be a leader. Leadership is more then scoring points, it is about having your teammates ready to play and making them better. We expect that he can handle that role.
Elliot Washington
This is his third year on varsity, and I expect leadership out of him. I don't want him to lead just by scoring the most points. A great player makes his teammates better.
