“He's a junior. ... Last week he had a tough first half against White Bear Lake with a fumble, then played better and picked it right up again tonight. ... He's battle-tested now.”
Scott Hoffman
“You've got to give Lakes credit. They were really hungry. Our team has played better. We've shown we can play good basketball. We need to get back there, and we need to do it in a hurry.”
Chris Gibson
“We played a great round. We went over there to Lake Erie, which is a tough course and shot a 156. That's probably one of the lowest scores we've ever shot there.”
Ron Pummill
“Lake Wales is a tremendous defensive squad. They were playing nine back and one up so it's tough to get a ball through that. It was a good battle. I felt it was going to be a one goal game either way and we were fortunate to get the bounce and put it in. Whoever you play at this stage of the season is going to be good so I expect every game to be close from here on out.”
Art Weaver
“I remember a hundred lovely lakes, and recall the fragrant breath of pine and fir and cedar and poplar trees. The trail has strung upon it, as upon a thread of silk, opalescent dawns and saffron sunsets.”
Hamlin Garland
“I'd say those guys up north 280 miles off the lake are probably the favorite. They played for the title a year ago, and people forget that we have not won our quarterfinal game very often, so we have to make sure we get that done.”
Dennis Murphy
“I played with Joey Mullen back in Salt Lake City before he got called up to St. Louis. He was the first player ever to score 20 goals in the American League and 20 in the NHL. I've kept in contact with him and he's a great guy.”
