That's always the mindset for us going into every game. Everyone knows they have to stop the run against us. They're awfully good at stopping the run so that's going to be a chess match. We've got some adjustments that we'll make if we have to.

Calvin Magee

Once he got his first match under his belt, he was a little disappointed that he didn't wrestle (Huffman) better.

The way we came back from that loss and responded in that match showed us we could be a top team.

The tie break was the turning point of the match. When I won it I felt that I finally had this tournament.

Tomas Rosicky

Fatigue and the flip were both factors because we had a tough match against Mahnomen.

I beat the Clinton kid 1-0 earlier. We (the coaches and me) have been watching the tape of that match. Anyone who knows wrestling knows about Dakota. They are always good.

One of the few things in dance to match the Royal Ballet's curtain calls is the Royal Ballet's dancing.

Robert Nebeker

I was glad the match started at 275 (heavyweight). Because that meant we could end with Zach and Brandon, and I liked our chances with those two.

Russ Witzig

I knew it would be like this. They were going to get some wins, and we were going to get some wins. We had some surprises and some letdowns, but the one constant was that I knew it was going to be a hard-fought match, (and) that it was going to come down to the end.

It's a tough place to play -- they have a hostile crowd. It's fun though, I like when the crowd gets into it If we play well and play to our potential, we'll have a good match.

We're still looking at lineups. But Meredith did a great job of setting and Lillian played a great match.

Becky Madden

I'm feeling good, looking forward (the opening match). Definitely, I can get through it.

Mark Philippoussis

Except at 119 and 125, we're very inexperienced. We don't know how to build on intensity or how to get things started after we lose a close match. We fall off in intensity.

I can't imagine he would have stayed up so late the night before a Test match.

Michael Atherton

We try to get matchups, and he's a guy that's intriguing because we can match him up in several different ways.

I wasn't nervous at all before the match. I felt like I was going to win. I've worked ridiculously hard for this.

Cory Lempka

It wasn't for team-wise, but individual-wise going into the district tournament it was big. Because Curtis and James will probably be fighting for the district championship, so it was a big match in that sense.

I think he served very good the whole match, ... I played very good with a lot of concentration.

Amelie Mauresmo

It's my senior year. I'm going out and wrestling like it's my last match every time.

I have some very strong feelings, not just about this match, but the whole series. I will convey it (to the ICC) through proper channels.

We will donate 75% of the earnings of the first match for the Pakistani earthquake victims and 25% will go to those affected by the quake in India.

But we think we match up with them really well.

Tommy Sanders

While the performance in Cairns wasn't what we wanted, the big positive to come out of the match was that we had no injuries.

Ivan Cleary

The first three games, South dictated the flow of the match. In that fourth game, we came into our own. We were getting into our offense and being explosive.

Josh Rohlfing

If we wrestle well, we could beat them. But we'd have to have a really good day. We match up real well with the other two teams.

Joe Lehmann

It felt like a grand final (last Sunday's match) and I guess every game is a grand final for us now.

Mike Hussey

It would have been one heck of a finals match. We thought the bracket was set up wrong. They were the defending champions in their own building ---- how could we be in the same bracket as them?

Some buying to match the index change may provide underlying support for bonds.

I'm not bragging, but I don't think anyone can match up with Mr. Hughes.

They're more likely to compare each photo to their original memory and make a positive ID if there's a match, or not make a match. You get many fewer false identifications.

Steve Tikolo

We had to play a zone because we didn't match up with them, and we did a great job with it in the first half.

Frank Connelly

Shauna did really well against the Page guy and there wasn't much she could do with the Chang match. He has not been beat at this weight.

It was evenly played. We won the second half. It was a physical match but my guys played the way their guys played.

Don Tordoff

Adam broke whatever control they had on the game. He was definitely the man of the match.

Paul Retherford

These 10 pieces will give her outfits she can mix and match. In fact, she can create 20 to 27 different outfits with this core group of clothing.

Barbara Tyler

That was pretty exciting. It gives you another boost of adrenaline. If they would have done that before my match I would have probably killed him.

Lance Palmer

That's the most important thing in my wrestling. The first takedown in a match is mostly what wins the match.

David Yost

The first half was frustrating. We definitely didn't match their intensity, but we certainly did in the second half.

Josh Aciukewicz

We just didn't match up well with them. They were big inside.

Mel Shivers

If he was a little taller, his toes would have been in on that takedown, and we would have won that match.

Dan Roton

We knew it would be a decent match. Caryl is a tough kid.

Dave Laird

I thought we played pretty well. It was a tough match. Lake Gibson played very hard.

Scott Short

It is a win gained against a very good Moroccan team. Now we look towards the next match.

Henri Michel

We waited too long to remember to match their intensity.

Rod Baker

It's going to be a very interesting game. PHS is one of the most athletic teams we have played. They are coming to the most exciting place to play in the state and it should be a great match up.

Roy Edman

We'll have to give up forfeits at four weights, but we should match up well in some of the other matches.

Just winning my first match at states feels really good because it relieves a lot of pressure. This makes everything a lot easier now. I'm more confident. I got all the anxiety out. Now tomorrow is just another day.

Aaron Wilcox

It's our last home match. We've been peaking for this match.

[By the time she conceded the match, she was hyperventilating in the courtside chair. She was wheeled away from the court and later was put on a drip.] I just couldn't breathe, ... I don't know what happened.

Akiko Morigami

We knew that they had great post players and good guards. But we felt that their guards could not match up with our guards. One, we have more experience, and that alone gave us the upper hand. We wanted to come out and help the post players the best way we could.

Lisa Willis

It was just amazing. I rode the emotion of the fans through the whole match. I couldn't let them down.

Alyssa Lampe

We're very proud of him. It's awesome to have a freshman come along like this. Every match he just keeps getting better.
