Saturday evening, March 17, 2001 Carver Arena, Peoria
America's Original March Madness Third place Game 7

QUOTES AND NOTES

Winning coach: Herbert Ray, Chicago (Morgan Park) - ``We had a good season and it was made possible by this group of eight great seniors. I really don't know what to say except these kids have been through a lot this season and even though we came here to win it all it doesn't diminish the season we've had."

"You know we came here to do some things and unfortunately we got sidetracked this afternoon. Thornwood is a fine team and they beat us so we had to reset our goals so that we could leave here a winner. Putting that aside, these kids are winners anyway no matter what would have happened today. These seniors have worked hard for four years and this is the best way, if we can't win the state championship, for them to end their careers."

(Jonathan Byrd) - "It's been a wonderful four years and its been really great this year winning the city championship and being able to come down here and play in the state tournament. I don't feel completely satisfied because we came here to win the state championship. We got to our game this afternoon and that sidetracked us from what we wanted to do but we were still able to come back and give our best effort to win this game tonight. We did lose this afternoon but we're able to go out winners tonight."



Losing coach: Conte Stamas, LaGrange (Lyons Twp) - ``Very proud of our guys. This program was under .500 for several years. We were 9 and 16 last year with a lot of young players. We bounced back and the turnaround this year was something very, very special. At half time I started to pick up our board for "x" and "o" and I just put it back down. We were emotionally drained."

"When they only had four players out on the floor at the start of the game, I asked a couple of my assistants if they had any eligibility left."

(Adam Lynch) "This group had been playing together since fifth grade and we knew our sophomore year we were going to have a shot at state with (Jim) Maley coming up and then Cortez (Forte) coming in was a big help. We knew we were winners."

"These kids were 22 and 1 as sophomores and 23 and 0 as juniors. The perception to people outside the program might be this was a Cinderella year but I guess this is not true."

"They (Morgan Park) were long kids. They kept coming and coming and I don't know where they were bringing them in from. I liked the way they handled themselves on the floor. Coach Ray does a great job with them."
