What they’re saying

“We did what we needed to do and took advantage of opportunities. Coming off a big win last night, we stayed locked in, and used a lot of guys to get it done. We used 17 players today, and it's good to see a lot of guys produce, because you never know who you're gonna need late in the year.”

— Todd Dunn, Montgomery Central Head Coach

“We started off pretty hot, but then we turned around and didn't do the basics. Montgomery Central did a good job of putting the ball in play and making adjustments, and offensively, we have to be able to do that. We can't be stubborn and say our way is gonna work if we do the same thing. We made one mistake, and it turned into a few.”

— Chris Benne, Northwest Head Coach
