COACH'S QUOTES
Joe Jennum: "It was a perfect day, and a culmination of all our
work that started back in August when we first met. Our goal started
out being a contender for the conference championship. We did that
and we almost won the NorCals finishing second. I wanted them to
come out and play their best and enjoy the moment. When they made
the turn at no. 10, I could see it in their eyes, they were enjoying
the day. It was a team effort, and we were the only team that in
every round had all of our players shooting in the 70s. It is a
fitting way to go out, as this is my last year coaching."
