Quotable
Shippensburg boys basketball coach Ray Staver, after the Greyhounds avenged an earlier loss to Greencastle-Antrim: "They kicked our butt every day of the week and twice on Sunday in that game. We challenged our kids to take pride. They had 19 layups against us the first time, and you have to take it personally when someone does that to you."
