More Quotes from Fred Skrocki:
I've been here for 24 years. I've been up there when we beat Perry in '91, when they had a team with Will Macon and Eddie Benton that was almost like us. We had a team that was determined. I tell the guys, 'This is two of the best going at each other, and they're not afraid of your ranking or your record.' They realize the importance. With one team moving on and the other going home, it raises the stakes.Fred Skrocki
