Quotes

“Give Jason [Harvey] all the credit in the world because he played an unbelievable game… Almost to the point where it was kind of fun to watch. It’s tough to say, but you have to give him credit. He knows the game so much better, he’s more than a step ahead of everyone else on the floor. The game is a lot clearer to him than everyone else.” – MCI boys coach Bill Brooks.

“I remember, Lindsay [Burlock] made her two foul shots, and I said, ‘Warm up the bus, baby,’ and I gave her five,” Jessica Cyr of Caribou said, recalling the moment, with 47.9 seconds to play, that she was sure her 9-10 team was going to upset 17-2 Camden Hills.
