We've gotten beat on a buzzer-beater the last two years (50-49 loss to Johnstown in a Division III district final two years ago, 54-53 loss to Bloom-Carroll in a Division III district final last year), so we're working hard to make sure that doesn't happen again.

Channing Frye

The way this season has gone, ... who knows who the team to beat is now?

Shelia Smith

This is the first time we didn't go one and out. We came out flat in the first half. I don't know if we were nervous. We can't play like that in the next round and expect to win.

Bill Guerin

This is not a public-relations stunt. We've put a lot of work into this proposal and this isn't something we came up with overnight. We felt that we had to do something. We're getting down to crunch time and since the league isn't doing anything, we felt like we'd better do something before the whole season goes down the tubes. We've waited long enough for them to try to step up.
