Other Warrior Quotes (Dunnachie sees the elevation benefit, Moniz and Beatty talk about 2004 playoffs)

About how sophomore Bryant Moniz led Leilehua over Kahuku in the HHSAA semifinals in 2004, B.J. Beatty said:
"He cut us up." (HSA)


About beating Kahuku in the playoffs in 2004, Bryant Moniz said:
"That was one of the proudest moments for me in high school sports. That team was loaded." (HSA)


HSA Note: "Leilehua then fell to Kamehameha in the state final."


HSA Note: "Moniz, now the starting quarterback at Hawaii, leads the Warriors against host Colorado tomorrow. That's where Beatty is an outside linebacker. Another Buffaloes linebacker, Liloa Nobriga, is a second-year freshman who was an 'Iolani athlete before his family moved to the mainland. He finished up his high school career at Palo Verde High School -- which is where the Warriors practiced all week, just a few blocks from the team hotel in Summerlin. Other Buffs with Hawaii ties are senior inside linebacker Michael Sipili (Damien) junior offensive lineman Sione Tau (Damien) and freshman offensive lineman Kaiwi Crabb (Punahou)."


About how the WAC enjoyed having the WAC Volleyball tournament last year in Vegas, Riley Wallace said:
"The WAC coaches loved it here. It's a central location fans want to come to and it takes away homecourt advantage." (HSA)


Looking forward to punting at Colorado's 5,360-foot altitude, Alex Dunnachie said:
"I can already tell the difference here (at Las Vegas' 2,028-foot elevation). I'm not really going for distance, but I'm getting about 4.8 to 5.0 on hang time. It's been 4.5 at sea level. A half a second can make a big difference. It lets the guys get a chance to get down there and limit the return yards." (HSA)
