For us to win games, we have to do a lot of things very well. Most of this season, we've done that, but tonight just wasn't the case. We'll take the weekend off and then hopefully come back with a lot of intensity next week.

There is a lot of traffic on this route. We look at this track all the time. We have trained inspectors that are always patrolling the tracks looking for any wear and tear to the crossties.

It can be labor intensive. But with any industry, machines make it possible to complete the job fastest and make it less stressful on the employees. We've been integrating these machines into our repairs a little at a time the past 20 years or so.

I guess the Lord got everything planned.

(Ward's) been hitting big shots like that for us all season long. Bottom line is that we didn't hit some easy shots and we missed a lot of free throws, too.
