Quotebook: Vikings 14, Warhawks 38

Vikings' Bret Schuman (31) tries in vain to interrupt a Diego Ledezma 23-yard field goal with :14 left on the clock in the second quarter Friday night (Nov. 1), but to no avail. The 3-pointer put Madison up 17-0 to end the first half. (Photo by Ed Piper)


Vikings 14, Warhawks 38
Friday, Nov. 1


Anthony Stanley, no. 43, "Mike" linebacker, Junior, La Jolla High: "Everybody thought this was going to be a walkover, but we showed up, and we smacked them in the mouth. We were in it. We really shocked them. I have a lot of cousins on the other team, so it was a personal game."

Jesus Manzano, no. 50, inside linebacker: "There was a time when we picked up momentum and we started driving the ball really well. We got a couple of touchdowns. We came back 17-14, but unfortunately we couldn't capitalize on it."

Coach Jason Carter: "Our boys' effort was outstanding. They were resilient. They fought through all the adversity."

"Watch for the bubble" - called out to the defense from the La Jolla sideline in the fourth quarter.

"Who's got number 15? [La Jolla noseguard Justin Cook]" - heard across the field from the Madison stands late in the game.
