“I am pleased that the national ranking committee noticed our four-match win streak against other nationally ranked teams. This is a good starting point, and we hope to move forward. … Our goal is to get a No. 1 seed in the NCAA regional.”

“There could be a national ranking achieved in the (800) relay. Whoever wins, both teams should get national rankings.”
Roscoe Googe
“Our kids are aware of where these teams are ranked. But I think this team will show up and play. They are battle-tested.”
Daron Schoenrock
“We weren't supposed to win if you look at the rankings, but I know what my team is capable of doing. Is it disappointing? No. But I'm mad. I personally just don't like to lose, but at the same time, I'm happy with how exciting this team is when they're competing. I think this is the best team that I have ever put on the floor since I've been here. We're going to challenge for a national championship.”
John Spini
“Firestone is a great team. They deserve to be 20-1 and ranked where they are. They would win in pretty much any league.”
Mark Loomis
“And I know how other teams view rankings. When you're ranked above them and they think they should be there, they use that to come out on fire.”
Jim Moore
“I would put this team on a level with those Oregon City teams (of the 1990s) that were ranked No. 1 nationally. They have tremendous talent and they?re very well-coached.”
