“Early in the semifinal round, we lost a little bit of wind. When (eventual runner-up Shawn Beard of West pinned eventual third-place finisher) Kenny Palmer in a semifinal, that took a little wind out of our sails, but we still came back to put 13 guys in the final round. I told the guys they had to be aggressive (going into the final round), and I think we might have been a little too aggressive a couple times.”
Derek Oney
“When you saw Dwayne in his front yard, you saw Shawn. Dwayne always came by asking for Shawn, until Shawn went missing. They used to just hang in the yard, laughing and joking.”
Carol Williams
“That end really came around when Shawn made that hit and roll.”
John Shuster
“Our big guys ran the floor about as well as they have all year. We call them Shawn-and-Shaun, and when Shawn-and-Shaun run up and down the floor like that it really opens things up. I was really worried about two things with Northwest. No. 1 was their 3-point shooting and No. 2 was their rebounding. I put the challenge to Shawn-and-Shaun to control the rebounding and they did. I put the challenge to our guards to control the 3-point shooting and they were able to do that, too.”
Ted Young
“You're a lying monster. You buried my 21-year-old brother and his name was Shawn Garfield Williams, not a dead dog.”
“We came in and battled her (Shawn). I think we hit her better than anybody else has this year.”
Dave Petrocelli
“Shawn did so many things well, ... He was so talented and gifted and gave of himself so freely to his family and to others.”
