"It's an amazing experience," Michael Felsen, the father of senior wide receiver Luke, said. "You can't really put words to it. I'm just so proud of him and my other kids, I mean and the coaches, they just do an amazing job with these young men. It is a special community."
"This is the ultimate pinnacle," Daniel Ward, Winter Football head coach, said. "I was a graduate of this high school, bleed the red and white, but this program means the world to me, and so, to bring it home, the winners, is special."

"...You got to play for more than just yourself and, in our situation, you got to play for even more than just your teammates. We play for our family, our loved ones, and the entire community of Winters and it just meant more to us."
"It was pretty crazy to win a state championship with my brother," Anthony said. "Yeah, I don't even think it's real."
