16 Quotes by Scott Merzoian

If we didn't get that early lead, it could have been a different ball game.

I can't imagine being where we are if we didn't have Talon and Jared. They've been a huge part of our success.

Jared passes well, sees the floor and is a good defender.

Last season, I was hopeful this group of players could make it to state and maybe win a game. And now we're going to get a trophy. I'm proud of what they've accomplished.

Our goal wasn't revenge. Our goal was to get better.

We came out focused. Like they say, it's hard to beat the same team three times in a row, because Winlock played us tough the first two times (both Toledo wins). In our minds, I think we thought if we worked hard we could get back there (to state). But I don't think anybody expected us to go 22-2.

We came out the second half in a 2-3 zone and lost some of our intensity.

We're not trying to look ahead. Our goal is to win the league title, and this win puts us in a good position. We need to continue to improve.

We're very happy to be going back (to Yakima). Hopefully we can finish strong and play on Saturday (March 4) in the trophy round.
