Quotable:
Flintridge Prep coach Sean Beattie: “The guys came out focused we took 10 point leads early in both games 1 and 2 and never looked back. Our offense looked good considering we hadn’t played in a week.”
Flintridge Prep sophomore AJ Nicassio: We still have some work to do, but we are proud of our accomplishments, and will continue to work hard going into CIF. The entire team played great today, led by Jonny, who kept the momentum on our side the entire game and got some insane kills.”
Flintridge Prep senior Jonny Samuels: “My role is leading by example emotionally and with my play. I’ve formed some great relationships with all the guys on the team and they have that trust in guys like AJ and I to lead. It’s also nice to get a few kills every once in a while.”
