Quotes by Rob Pimental

“This is a game we probably should have lost because, offensively, we did everything we could to try and lose it down the stretch. But for the fifth consecutive game the defense came up big and tonight it was Kyle (Cabral) who took center stage.”

“We all know hes (Noonan) the player you have to stop and Kyle stepped up to the challenge. He was in his face all night and wasnt afraid to throw his body in front of him whenever he could. I thought he should have drawn a third charge on him but the officials called it a block.”

“We must be doing something right and as long as we keep doing it, Im not going to complain.”

“For whatever reason our offense hasnt come together yet, but our defense has been outstanding and thats probably the biggest reason were 4-0. Only one opponent (Marthas Vineyard) has managed to score more than 50 points (51) and counting tonight, were allowing an average of 42.5 points. When we can do that, I have to like our chances.”

“Our game plan focused on stopping Motta. He managed to get 11 points, but holding him to three field goals is a tribute to our defense. We made him work hard and I couldnt be more pleased with our effort.”

“Thats the big difference between this years team and last years team. Weve played a lot of close games the past two seasons. Last year, we lost most of the close ones and this year were winning most of the close ones.”

“I was kind of surprised because the way the wind was blowing, I thought there would be some concern about the possibility of rough waters.”

“I was a little leery on the bus ride to the state pier and I could tell most of the kids felt the same way because a lot of them, Im sure, had never even been on a boat before. This wasnt exactly one of those picturesque days to go sailing.”
