Herb Mones Quotations

I thought that we fenced well. We didn't lose to any one team except Ward Melville. We finished behind Brentwood because they won so decisively over their other opponents and most of our matches were very close.

The most amazing thing is that the whole thing happened. It is wonderful in that our children and grandchildren can now enjoy the environmental benefits of cleaner water and a natural habitat for generations to come. And you can see that people are happy as they walk down Trustees Road.

When you get to the counties it's like a new season and no matter what your record during the regular season, everyone is invited. Everyone gets their kids prepared for their match-ups and if they are favorable, you can do well. The exciting thing about it is that everybody is given a fresh start, although from a coaching perspective, Ward Melville comes very prepared and they keep all the other coaches on their toes.

On the whole, to capture the bronze medal is really what we wanted. Especially since we graduated 75 percent of last year's team. It was quite an improvement against some very difficult teams. Huntington and Brentwood brought back their entire team from last year. Overall it was a good day.
