“We'll also have the Chinese and a team from either Jamaica or the Bahamas. This meet ranks with a lot of meets in Europe. What better place to take a test?”
Bubba Thornton
“Our team loves the pressure. Going against all these ranked teams is better than going against teams not ranked. We're ready to compete at any time.”
Ashley Kelly
“We've had a run where we've played a lot of ranked teams, but we haven't run into a team as physical as Highlands Ranch. We're happy we won the league, but you don't really want to go into the postseason with a loss. But maybe it will help because the girls won't want to feel that same hurt for the next six or seven games.”
Carl Mattei
“Our kids are aware of where these teams are ranked. But I think this team will show up and play. They are battle-tested.”
Daron Schoenrock
“Not too many teams get a chance to play against a state-ranked team that has only one loss. We look forward to that challenge. They're a fantastic team. I just hope it will be close so we have a chance at the end.”
Wendell Jeffries
“I would put this team on a level with those Oregon City teams (of the 1990s) that were ranked No. 1 nationally. They have tremendous talent and they?re very well-coached.”
David Heard
“Washburn is a really good team, especially in doubles. They have two nationally ranked doubles teams.”
