Quotes and Notes Losing Coach, Mark Jackley , Mattoon "I'm really proud of our kids. They played hard and never gave up. We had a great tournament especially considering the wins over Chatham and New Trier. At the beginning of the season, I never would hav e dreamed that we would go this far. " Winning Coach, Gary Bender, Rock Island "That was a freshman that we had pitching there at the end. You never know what is going to happen with a freshman. We really badly wanted to bring back the 3rd place trophy to the Quad-cities. I've got a great bunch of seniors and they really played their hearts out. We will look forward to bringing some of these younger kids back for another trip." |
