“I can't believe that a Northern Region team hasn't won it in 25 years. There's four regions, so you'd figure, on average, once every four years you should [have a Northern Region team win]. Now you'll have dry periods but to go 25 years without another state championship is an anomaly.”
Rod Wood
“They're a very good team. I knew tonight we'd be playing one of the best teams in the region. And with Curley on the mound, they're one of the best 15 or 20 teams in the state.”
Jeff Schulkens
“Well, we'll know who the best team in the region is after this week. Last year we won (this tournament) quite convincingly.”
Frank Cheek
“Last year we had a decent team and won the region. We lost two seniors, but we've replaced them with some good talent. (Evans) has stepped in as our No. 1 singles player, and (Green) has done a good job at the No. 6 spot. We're as good as we were last year, and our record shows that.”
Duane DeSpain
“They're a dangerous basketball team. The parity right now with the top four or five teams in (the Seventh) Region is unbelievable.”
Chris Renner
“I really would like to see our region be able to qualify more teams. There are teams here that deserve a chance to play for a national title.”
Julie Garner
“We have a large number of outstanding freshmen and sophomores in the Northern Region this year. That really bodes well for the future. I think [we're] just going to get tougher and tougher.”
