Quotable: “The [fondest] memory I have of [winning the state title] is the joy on the girls’ faces when that final whistle blew. Just to see them sprint out onto the field and hug each other with tears of joy in their eyes just let me know how much this meant to them and that all this hard work for them finally paid off.” — Girls’ soccer coach Greg Herbert
