THEY SAID IT

“After the game I just felt relieved and excited that we won and are still alive,” said junior Jack Kurburski. “As a team I think we showed that we are a close knit group since we had each others back for 90 minutes and then PK’s. This should carry over to Thursday and I feel as if when we play together we are one of the best teams in the state.”
