Notes & QuotesClass 6A QuotesAttendance Session #1: 9,469 Attendance Session #2: 10,682 Attendance Session #3: Not available at press time. Winning Coach - John Thorne: “You never get tired of this. Especially when you get the opportunity to work with kids like this. These kids are terrific. We aren’t very big so we have to put in a little hard work once and a while but we had f un doing it.” “We do a lot of studying of films and by Friday (11/29) things were beginning to come together. We noticed that not many teams ran straight ahead against Lincoln Way and we felt we could. We established that early on and that opened up the r est of our offense.” “We work with our kids a lot in the offseason and try to determine what each of them can physically do. That is why we never run the same offense or defense in one year. We adapt to the physical capabilities our kids have.” “Our defense shut everything down in the first half. Lincoln Way made some fine adjustments at the half. (Cory) Paus will be a great quarterback next year.” Losing Coach - Rob Gliemli: “They came out ready to play and I thought we were ready to play as well. We came in with a good attitude and were excited about playing. I have no explanation as to why we got off to a slow start. You must give s ome credit to Wheaton’s defense.” “The two keys I felt were we gave up the big play on defense and we couldn’t run the ball.
