Juan Hernandez's Quotations

From the moment of the explosion they were gone instantly.

We make sure they work hard because the competition at state is a lot tougher. If we want to get over that hurdle we need to play with heart.

I was thinking this thing would be over on Saturday and we could just go home on Sunday. If it's not, we'll just have to think of something else.

We're closing the gap between us and the super teams from up state.

We came to work, not to be discriminated against. We want to be equal.

Everywhere we go, we try to get a couple groups together to help whatever neighborhood we are in.

They told us there was nothing they could do.

They told us all that they had all died instantly.

They're pretty talented. I think this is the most talented team I've had in a couple of years.

It's a great day. This is my third time back, so it means a lot more, because I've got a family and a little baby girl to come home to.

It's great. It's a nice family structure and a lot of activities. I wish I'd known about this sooner.

I wanted to make myself physically, emotionally and spiritually stronger -- and I did.

The kids focus on that and it gives them motivation. They want to send her off with a state championship.

I'm on top of the world. My world, at least.

I have to. It's for my people, for my parents.

The giant has awoken. And it's a friendly giant, it's a giant that loves the United States.
