Foley head coach Zach Kantor joined me on WJON.  Kantor says the team is very excited for the opportunity.  He acknowledges that they have a tough 1st round match but feels they have a shot against Breck.  Kantor says they have an experienced team with plenty of returnees on this year's roster.  Junior Aaron VanderWeyst has led the Falcons as the team's #1 singles player.  Kantor speaks highly of the team's chemistry and how each teammate pulls for each other.

If Foley wins their quarterfinal match today they will play at 10 a.m. Wednesday in the state semifinals.  If the Falcons lose they will play at 6 p.m. tonight in the consolation semifinals.
