Sounds of a Championship

"It is an unbelievable felling, it is almost surreal. This is something people dream about as a kid, and to be able to accomplish that with a group of guys like this is unbelievable. This is a feeling that I will absolutely never forget."

Northern senior Sean Kelly

"We knew what we had all along. We have a great team. We are so deep. We are so talented and we play together. I love these guys, I love all my teammates and all of these great fans who have supported us. It's been an absolute privilege to play for Coach Huse the last five years. And this was a special way for my last-ever game in the state of Montana to end."

Northern senior Shaun Tatarka

"The crowd was unbelievable. The noise, the support we got to tonight helped us get over the top. We needed that energy, our guys fed off that tonight and the energy our great fans gave us really helped us tonight. I just can't say enough about what great fans we have. They are the best in the Frontier, hands down."

Northern head coach Shawn Huse

"This feels real good, it feels just as good as the first one. We have been working hard all year to get to this point and we did it, so it just a great feeling. This is real difficult doing what we did (back to back titles) because everybody is gunning for us. Last year we were the hunters, but this year we were the hunted."

Northern senior David Maddock

"This was the only way we wanted to end it here. We wanted to go out on top and we did it. It's an amazing feeling to be victorious tonight."

Northern senior Joe Simpson

"It was one heck of a battle. Western played a great game. It was two great teams going at it tonight. And ultimately, our guys dug in and said, we're going to win this with our defense. And that's what they did. I'm just so proud of the effort our guys give each and every night. This is a tremendous group to coach. They do things the right way and they represent Northern, our basketball program and this community the way we hoped they would. It's a very special night for them and for everyone associated with Northern basketball."
