John Howell Section Quotations

That was fun, but we knew when we won their tournament that our gift back was to play them in the section opener and, what a gift. They're just a great team ... and it's a big step for our program to beat them.

It was a very well-played match, by both teams, which isn't always the case this early in the season. It was a big win, but it will not be as sweet if we don't beat them in our section opener.

I think it's about time we got a little respect. I think, last year, we had a quality team and wasn't recognized at all, and it was hard to see that. But I think the teams in our section make us better every night.
