Quotable

"It's about which team shows up. If we show up at our best, we can win the game. If we don't, it's going to put us in a dire situation. We don't have a lot of wiggle room when it comes to getting the playoffs. Each and every game is super important. Really, our playoffs start tomorrow." — MGCCC coach Chris Handy
