Winning coach, Leroy Franklin of Simeon: "I'm so proud of this team. They listen and they understand the game. We're so glad to be in the state tournament and want to be recognized as a good baseball program."

''Today we wanted good pitching and defense and timely hitting and we got all three.''


Losing coach, Andy Julian of Olney: "Give Simeon a ton of credit. They came ready to play and we didn't. They played great and that evident right from the start.''

''We didn't use a lot of common on defense. We didn't play very well and that was the bottom line. "

''Simeon didn't surprise us any. When you get to this level you expect teams to play well and execute the fundamentals. We didn't do the little things we needed to win the game.''
