▶ Coach Speak: “We’re getting closer and closer to payday. That’s what the players and coaches want … that opportunity to show people what kind of effort and work we’ve been putting in this summer. These kids are hungry and ready to go. That’s pretty dang exciting.” — Coleman Mason
“This is a good group of kids that wants to play hard. They try to do everything they can to do things the best they can. That’s very exciting. They try their best to do the right thing. That’s kind of what we preach — do the right thing, be disciplined and everything else takes care of itself.” — Mason
