Quote from Coach Brendan Doris-Pierce: "We're excited to compete in the NFCs this weekend. The strength of the conference has grown considerably over the past half decade or so and the rivalries that took shape 32 years ago when the conference was founded are just as passionate as ever. Last year, we lost the combined title for the first time in six seasons and the team is motivated to regain it."
