Coaches\u2019 quotes: \u201cMV is one tough team. Down their best player, they played a very good game and are always a tough opponent. I thought our guys showed poise in the fourth quarter, outscoring them 23-11 to close it out. Very proud of them.\u201d \u2013\u00a0Pembroke\u2019s\u00a0Michael Donnell<\/p>\n

\u201cI like the way how we started tonight but it didn\u2019t go our way. We have big games next week so hopefully we can use some things we learned today for next week.\u201d \u2013\u00a0MV\u2019s\u00a0Tim Mucher<\/p>\n

Coach\u2019s quote: \u00a0\u201cTonight was a great team effort, especially on the defensive end with multiple steals and deflections. I was happy for senior captain Eddie Kinzer, as he played tremendous defense on Dre, but also helped us on the offensive end getting eight points early to set the tone. His energy was contagious and we need that to be successful moving forward.\u201d \u2013\u00a0Kearsarge\u2019s Nate Camp<\/p>\n
