Quotes and Notes
Winning coach, Andy Julian, " I am very proud of all the kids I had the opportunity to coach. It was tough to come back from the semifinal loss and win. That was a big inning for us especially in the state tournament. Alleman brought in a fastball pitcher, and that was suitable for us."
Losing coach, Ron DeDoncker, " We had an unbelievable year with only four seniors. We have never had a baseball team go to the state tournament in the 47 year history of the school. I thought this would be a building year. Our younger players had great years. We are not upset with the fourth place finish."
