Coach’s quote: “We knew we needed to be sharp on both sides of the ball, as ConVal is a solid team that played us well during the regular season, and after beating MV would have some momentum coming into our game for sure. Our team did just that today with everyone, top to bottom, contributing offensively and defensively.” – John Stark’s Gerry Morin
