THEY SAID IT
"[Houghey's] been doing this for us all year long. He's the leader of this team. He's doing it all for us right now. That's why we have him hitting in the three hole right now... Eight wins at this point is about as many wins as any team in the state of New Jersey but we have to have a short term memory. "—Head Coach Mickey Ennis
