“Last year we set the goal of winning the section championship. But it seemed once we did, everything fell apart. In order for us to look at the season as a success, we should probably get to districts. I don’t know if it can be a success if we don’t make districts.”

– Cedar Crest Baseball Coach Josh Brown
“We’re always happy to beat Lower Dauphin. I don’t know the last time we swept Lower Dauphin in a season. That’s a feather in our cap. It’s (the season) going well. There’s no denying that.”

– Palmyra Softball Coach Tod Whitman
“No one knows it better than I do. We’ve got some important games coming up. We’re going to go up against Central, against Donegal, against Garden Spot. But I feel a lot better about this dugout now. There’s games that have to be played and games that have to be won.”

– Northern Lebanon Softball Coach Ed Spittle
