What I liked was the way the kids stayed together and kept working throughout the entire game. What I didn't like was that we made some mental errors.

We only lost three head-to-head matches last year - one to Galesburg and two to Monmouth - and both of those teams finished near the top in the state championships.

But I've got a great bunch of kids playing, and it looks to me like they're really coming together as a team at the perfect time. - Matt Johnson

We knew Spaulding was a real good team. We knew that for somebody to win the state championship they would have to beat them. - Matt Johnson
