The Quote: "We started off a little tentative," Amador coach Aaron Harper said. "But that's to be expected in an NCS game, we got the nerves out of the way and played well."

Who's Next?: Amador will host Deer Valley on Thursday at 7 p.m., the fourth-seeded Wolverines swept Cal in Antioch on Tuesday.
