“She's the defending 5A state champion in discus. She's really excited about her senior year.”

“What more could you want? We've got the defending state champs at our house. Everybody's hyped them up this year, but it's at our place. This gives us a chance to show everybody that we're for real.”
Justin Parnell
“Milosevic has been murdered in The Hague, but before that he succeeded in defending the national and state interests of Serbia and the Serbian people, which is why everybody should be grateful to him, since this is of great benefit to our future.”
Ivica Dacic
“We defended for 16 minutes as well as we can defend. We didn't do a whole lot of trapping. It was just solid, half-court, man-to-man defense. The kids did a great job.”
Todd Martin
“Patrick is the best player in the state. There are a lot of scorers in Illinois, but how many defend and rebound the way he does? What puts him at a level with other top players is he is very athletic and plays hard all the time. He gets at least 10 points a game playing aggressive defense.”
Lamont Bryant
“He's a real mobile, very poised with the puck and defends well, ... For a 20-year-old, he's got a man's body and he skates so well and moves laterally. It's just a matter of getting used to the pace of the game. We hope over time that he develops a bit more of an offensive edge to his game, but right now we don't put a lot of pressure on him to do that. He's going to play, it's just a question of how good he'll be. Is he going to be an All-Star or not?”
Cassidy
“It's going to be a tough game. They're defending 4A state champs, and they've got a player who is a handful. So we'll come up with something.”
