Teutopolis Coach Tim Mills said, "This is the first time we participated in the tournament at St Thomas More, and it’s the first time we’ve seen most of these teams with one exception. We played and defeated Urbana at the Charleston tournament earlier this year. We fell short of beating them this time. We also lost to Princeville in pool play. That left us in 3rd place. We defeated ALAH but then finished the day by dropping our final match to Payson-Seymour

We didn’t play terrible. We competed in every match except the Princeville match. We just made too many mistakes to overcome. We really struggled against Princeville. They weren’t the best team we played on the day but they beat us by the widest margin."
