 Notes & Quotes
Coach's Quotes and Notes

Winning Coach Mowequa (Central A & M), Mark Ramsey:
"I was really surprised with the type of game this was, I thought it would be more of a defensive struggle than it was. Both teams were able to move the ball up and down the field. I really felt that our ability to control the ball in the 2n d half really helped us."

"I have had nightmares about this room (IHSA post-game press room), in the last two years we have come up two points short both times. Many of these kids played on both of those teams. I am just really happy for the kids and the fans."

"We ran the same defense we ran all year, he (# 95 Ryan Jones) just made the plays. He is a hec of a running back."


Losing Coach St. Joseph Ogden Richard Duval:
"Right now I am very disappointed and I have a group of kids who played their heart out who are also very disappointed. It was a game where both teams deserved to win. Unfortunately, today it wasn't us."

"We really had trouble stopping their run and handling their front people. I thought that we never quit and we fought back after we were two td's down."

"Ryan Jones is a tremendous talent, he gets a lot of yards on his own but our front line also opens a lot of holes for him. I really believe that he will play at another level. Mowequa (Central A & M) is a great team and that is why they are undefeated and that is why they are state champions."
