“They're tournament-tested and play at the highest level. They're ready.”
C. Vivian Stringer
“Seeing we were playing M-A (in the tournament championship), it was a good test.”
Dennis Hashiguchi
“He was playing his second varsity tournament and I'm pleased with what he shot. We played OK (as a team). I'd like to have played a little better at home ... we won and shot a team qualifying score, so we did some good things.”
Tommy Standefer
“We've never beaten Valley in the tournament, We've always lost to them even when I was playing. We've probably played them about six times and always lost. Same as Hyde — we've never beaten them, either. This was a long time coming.”
Paul Lancaster
“We started playing well in the district tournament. Even though we lost, we played a strong game. Had some balls bounce the wrong way. I think the kids took something out of that.”
Steve Hudson
“You never really get tested at these smaller tournaments. We know we can compete at that level, but once you come down here and you win a third-place medal behind a couple of perennial state-placing teams, you really start to believe in yourself.”
Joey Hawkins
“We played them early in the season at the Natchez High Tournament to a 2-2 tie. They play a lot like Natchez. They've got a lot of speed. They're pretty deep like us, in the upper 20s. They played Natchez High a couple of times, but I didn't see how they did.”
