On the recordMarch 31, 1998
In my estimation, there have never been two teams that had such good sportsmanship. The two coaches were of such high quality. In all their victories along the way, they complemented each other, and last night, even though one was a victor and one was the vanquished, they both talked as if they had won. It was very good performance and set a good standard for sportsmanship.
