WHAT THEY'RE SAYING

"It's always really fun when you have intra-city teams and you see guys around and you know guys. You have an extra fire behind you that makes you want to win. I think that they're going to prepare to come and play a very competitive game, as are we. When teams like this compete, it makes us better and it makes them better." – REC Nathan Walker
