 Notes & Quotes
Home: Mundelein (Carmel H.S.) vs. Visitor: Bloomington (H.S.)

QUOTES & NOTES

Winning coach: Andy Bitto, Mundelein (Carmel H.S.) Corsairs, `` It was a courageous effort by the guys, especially by Mark (Venegoni.). Here's a kid who can't walk and he's on the sidelines, encouraging these kids and still giving the leadership he did when he was playing.''

``At halftime I told the kids that we had to prevent the big play. These guys (Bloomington) are class act and we needed to make some things happen. And John Solan, our junior comes in and runs the machine. He's amazing. It's a credit to him to come in and play like that.''

``Our offense has been scoring a ton of points in the second and third quarter all year. The offensive line has been tremendous all year, it's been the big reason we've been able to gain all the yards we have this season.''

``Mark has been such an inspiration to all of us. And I can't tell you what he has meant to this team and to me. He has such an internal combustion about him and he transcended it even in practice when he knew he wasn't going to play. It was a tremendous leadership effort from guys who can't walk.''

``This is the first time we've made this far and it will probably take 10 years before it sinks in. It is a tremendous experience and it's what this team is all about.''

Losing coach: Rigo Schmelzer, Bloomington (H.S.) Purple Raiders, `` The turnover bug bit us today. We didn't take care of the football. The Wheels came off the wagon, but there wasn't a whole lot we could do. The kids are down about it.''

``The kids had a great year. We relied on our quickness and speed and protect the foot ball and we didn't do that today. Against a quality team like Carmel is the result we received today.''

``From the defensive point of view, I'm disappointed we couldn't handle their fullback. And the kickoff return seemed to set things off for Carmel and really got them going.''

``We got banged up pretty good today. It really hurt us losing (Tim) McAvoy as far as our sets on offense. I'm proud of these kids. We just didn't have the kind of results we had hoped for but Carmel a solid team and t hey just beat us.''

New Kickoff Return record set: Mundelein (Carmel H.S.) Mike Serio's 91-yard kickoff return is a new state record for longest kickoff return in a Class 6A title game. Serio's return broke the record of 85-yards set by Tom Bart in the 1999 Schaumburg vs. Naperville (Central) title game.
