Wayne Hills Head Coach Chris Olsen – "Mahwah's a good team. They have some skill and the quarterback's a good player. The key was defending their quarterback. They played the run tough. They came into the game trying to stop the run and we probably would have done the same thing. If we throw the ball as much as we did tonight and Quinn's playing like he is, it's going to be tough to stop us."

Wayne Hills cornerback/running back Ronnie Driesse – "On the fumble recovery, I got the ball and saw daylight. That's it. I just ran for the end zone. It was a tough game and we fought it out until the end."

Wayne Hills quarterback Mike Quinn – "I'm getting more comfortable, coming along. I think our offense is clicking now and our team is looking real good."

Quinn on the 35 yard touchdown to Ogden – "We had a different play call, but we (audibled) because they were playing man, he ran a go route, and he caught it."
