Eric Zastoupil Quotations

I was frozen. There was nothing else happening for a moment there.

Our motto was, 'Let's make history,' or at least that was the unofficial motto. We kept saying, let's do something profound. We did. Well be remembered. We'll be back here in 25 years being remembered for this. We won the state title. We are the state champions.

Coach Inman told us he comes to watch state every year, and that this is the best atmosphere of any of the sports. He wasn't lying.

The first time I lost my teeth was in hockey. I got them knocked out again this year.
