QUOTES & NOTES 
 
 
Winning coach: Matt Senffner, New Lenox (Providence Catholic) Celtics, ``We were fortunate to have the wind when we wanted it and that was a key I thought. We won the battle of field position today because our special teams did a tremendous job under what I thought was adverse conditions. I thought our defense was just outstanding again today. They got us the ball back in key spots in the game and we had a number of turnovers that were really big for us.’’ 
 
``We stopped their run very well and kept them from throwing the ball. It was cold and really tough conditions but it was the same for both teams. We were fortunate to be able to do some of the things we did today.’’ 
 
``Early in the ball game we wanted to get on the board right away to put them in a situation to force them to come back. The third quarter was the same situation. We forced into a three and out and with the wind we scored bang, bang, bang. Before you know it was out of hand, a 40-point ballgame. If you’d told me before this game that we would have that kind of lead midway through the third period I wouldn’t have thought that.’’ 
 
``I couldn’t be happier for the kids. I thought Nick Stanton ended his high school career on a tremendous note and Clay (Cleveland), under some really adverse conditions, had a superb performance. They had eight guys coming at us the entire game and we just did a great job of finding a little spot here and a little spot there. The outside zone got a little better as the game went on and Clay just hung in there and toughed it out.’’ 
 
New Lenox (Providence Catholic) running back Clay Cleveland - ``Our defense set the way for us and offensively we were able to score. It was cold but we were able to win and that was the main things for us. It feels really good to end a school career with a 28-0 record and two state championships. The wind really didn’t bother us that much. It was cold but we were still able to throw the ball and that helped get the offense started.’’ 
 
Losing coach: David Young, Pontiac (H.S) Indians, ``We never gave and these kids never gave up all year. The cards weren’t stacked in our favor today, but the kids still kept coming, trying to make something happen. We won’t be very proud of ourselves tonight but by tomorrow morning we’ll feel a lot better. We were just disappointed because this group of kids really felt like we could win this game.’’ 
 
``It’s been a great ride and will probably go down as one the greatest years in Pontiac history. It has been a battle to get here but it is like any battle. You have to climb uphill to get to the top and that’s what we did. We have gotten progressively better each game this year. The disappointing thing is we didn’t give a better showing in this game.’’ 
 
``It just didn’t happen for us because we didn’t have any field position today and the credit for that has to go to Providence. They are a fine team and they made the most of the breaks they got and I know we gave them at least two of those. They are an excellent team and they will make a lot of teams look bad.’’
