“When Keith was getting recruited in the spring of his junior year, teams like Michigan State, Iowa, Michigan, Virginia Tech were stopping by, and one of the recruiters said, 'Palisades? I've driven this 611 route at least 100 times in 20 years between Easton and CB West and I never even knew there was a school here,' ... Now that Keith brought that attention, some other kids have gotten letters (from colleges). It's opened avenues for some of the other guys.”

Gary Trittipoe
“I wasn't sure when we would break 340 this year because of how young we are. We've had some juniors step up and play well for this point in the season.”
Steve Peterson
“I had never heard about Mason until my junior year when they started recruiting me.”
Folarin Campbell
“We have only two seniors, and many of the juniors are up from the junior varsity team, ... How they adapt to the new level will go a long way towards determining our fate.”
