โ€œLandale would be one of the top centers in our league. Heโ€™s an exceptional low-post scorer. Heโ€™s a tremendous offensive rebounder. They play two point guards, (Emmett) Naar and (Joe) Rahon, whose stats are almost identical. They make their team go and they take care of the ball. They come off screens and find their guys. (Calvin) Hermanson is a left-handed guy who can really play. These guys can play in any league. We havenโ€™t played a team this year that is as patient offensively, that has the ability to score at the end of the shot clock like this team. Defensively, theyโ€™re a man-oriented team. They play tough, hard-nosed defense and thatโ€™s what coach Bennett is known for. They donโ€™t make mistakes.โ€ โ€” UA associate head coach Joe Pasternack, who scouted the Gaels.ย
