We knew with New Trier and those types of teams we would have to beat them to do it. Sure enough, we got it done by one.

It's tough to concentrate on other teams when you're struggling in your own conference. When they beat Texas, we knew they were a good team.

It wasn't like it is now. But for the types of teams we had, the fans were very good here. On some Thursday afternoon games, we'd get 25,000 fans. That was remarkable. This has always been a great Red Sox city.

I knew I beat my uncle (Jeff), and I'll make sure he hears about it later (last Wednesday) night.

She's always been a hard trier.

You can?t count on New Trier.
