“I’m just really, really proud of these guys. Other than Cam, these are all guys that we started recruiting four years ago when we got here. They bought into the vision that I had for this program, and where it could be and the things that we could do. To see it come to fruition this week and to be conference champions. these guys deserve that.” – Coach Blaine Woodruff on the win

“It was just a lot of trust in the program and Coach Blaine (Woodruff) and Coach ‘Hoagie’ (Ryan Hogan. They told us this was going to happen, and they brought each of us in for a certain reason. We finally just got to see all the work pay off this week.” – Harris on the title
