Coach Speak

“We played Holly Pond three times this year, and every time they played us very hard. Coach (Griffin) Morris does a great job. I thought we played hard for the most part but will have to clean things up for whoever we play in the finals. This bunch of young men has been a pleasure to coach, and I’m sure they are going to work hard to get ready for whoever we play.” — Fairview coach Tim Fulmer
