QUOTE: "When you look at the history of St. Michael-Albertville, when we first went to Class 4A, it was like, 'Yeah they're good, but their section is not very good and they lose in the first round.' And it as true. And I don't know what year it finally was when we won our first round game, but it took us four or five years in Class 4A basketball to try and win a state tournament game. ... And now, girls basketball, you're expected to win, and we like that." — STMA coach Kent Hamre
