“You tip your hat to them. Sometimes, as a basketball coach, you can get frustrated because it's tough to get them out of that football mode. When you win a championship, you want to enjoy it, put your feet up on the recliner. These guys have to march right back into a long, grueling season. For these kids to do this two years in a row where they don't have any time off from the beginning of football until March, that's impressive.”
Curt Schmidt
“My hats off to Coach Tarver and the Howard coaching staff. They have done a great job. We had some breaks go our way. I am happy for our kids, they have worked hard and it paid off for them.”
Tim James
“I tip my hat to the Lowell program, its coach and its players. It's really hard to beat a team three times in one season, but they made it look easy.”
Keith Norman
“I kinda made it tough on them, pitching only five innings. I tip my hat to them, they had to do a lot of work tonight.”
Aaron Cook
“They are just a very solid team. You've got to tip your hat to the players, to their coaches. They're very well coached and well behaved on the floor.”
Darwin Hofer
“I tip my hat to San Diego, they had a first-place season. Our guys, to get to this point from where we were, was a pretty good accomplishment. But it wasn't good enough, and I was just proud of my guys.”
Mark Parent
“I have to tip my hat to my offensive linemen. We have some young guys playing, and they have done a great job all year. This team, we are so motivated. No matter how the game is going, we feel if we just stick in there, in the end we will come through with the win.”
