I told them it's a new season. We didn't win this tournament, but our goal right now is to take the next tournament.

Paul Croft

We're not going to give up just because we fall behind 11-2. We beat (Cambridge) twice during the regular season and knew we would do it again.

Cody Daigle

Coming in here and winning the sixth game is tough. We have had a bad record here this season.

Gerard Gallant

They get in a groove and then they get complacent and lose sight of the fundamentals. I really strongly believe that losing is an important part of your season. It helps you see what you are doing wrong.

Heinz Mueller

Once we get into kitten season, our costs start to skyrocket again.

Irene Towell

It's good to maybe get out of conference and test the waters later in the season. But this game's not any more important or less important than a conference game. We've just got to play.

Jamaal Tatum

I've been impressed the last couple weeks with her. I'm very proud of her effort and she's going to start seeing more playing time. She played more minutes this game than she has all season.

Cip Sanchez

We want to redeem ourselves after losing to Greenwich. We're ready to start the season and continue the streak. We want to make it 29 in a row.

Kevin Decker

They're very aggressive and blue-collar. This season, our offense has just been getting better and better.

Tom Graves

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.

Tommy Russell

One reason was we gave that many rookies that much of an opportunity, and two, we were very patient with the opportunity. The surprise was how this season has unfolded. We've had so many injuries and we've hung in there so well through the process.

Dan O'dowd

I'm proud of the way our kids fought through a lot of turmoil this season. They (tragically) lost two classmates this past year and we also had a lot of injuries that led to lineup changes. But our kids didn't quit.

Pete Sauer

I don't expect any of the four ocean ports to have a season that reaches Labor Day. But there is no option in how you deal with those conservation issues. The most important thing is to protect the fish.

Tony Floor

Before the season we never would have dreamed that we would be back here. Our girls gave it everything and I'm proud of every single one of them.

Lyndi Lively

Jake did a phenomenal job. Got ahead of hitters, made them hit his pitches and our defense played very well behind him ? typical early-season game where pitchers are dominant. We were very fortunate to get this win.

Todd Genke

Logan has been great for us this season. She always keeps us in the game.

Carrie Olsen

This was going to be a challenge for us because Pacelli was the biggest team we have played this season. We didn't keep them from getting the ball inside, and as a result they took the lead. Once we started pressing their guards, we forced turnovers and moved things our way.

Tom Weinkauf

I feel really good right now. I really worked to get ready for this season.

Jose Castillo

The team was really young last year. We could be even better this season.

Todd Larsen

I think we're ahead of where we were at this point last year. And, we're working harder, so that's an extra bonus. By the end of the season they should be running even faster than they did at the end of last year.

Todd Black

Putting these two together is really a spectacular combination, ... We saw a lot of it on the runways last season and designers seem to love it.

Leatrice Eiseman

This is the greatest season. My kids have good team chemistry and they have executed well on the field. I'm really pleased. After Friday we're going to be looking at going into the playoffs, and we're excited about that.

Aimee Bates

The girls are excited about this event and ready to put on a show. We need the support of community to help us make this season successful.

Lori Snell

Every game is a regular-season game, anywhere, anyplace, any time. It doesn't matter who, when, where, why, what.

Asante Samuel

When he was there, I had a great season. Obviously, he's entitled to his opinion. He's very well-accomplished, and that's within his right. I wouldn't characterize his being there as really working with me. He was there with the team.

Michael Olowokandi

This is going to be a difficult heating season statewide.

Stacey Ward

It gives us something to emphasize on the second half of the season, especially defensive rebounding. We turn around and play Nauvoo and we'll have to rebound well against them too. And we can't overlook Pleasant Hill.

Todd Plattner

I told the team at the beginning of the season that we would have to go 8-4 to make CCS. We're at 2-4 now, so the good news is that it's possible, but the bad news is that we have to win the next six games in a row. We're good enough to do it.

Vern Hubbard

We have struggled with our offense. Today, our offense in the first half looked good. We have to build on what we did in the first half. Teams get easier from here on out. We have got a good chance of going 6-0 (the rest of the season).

Floyd Burnsed

After late December and into January, produce is going to be very scare. Of course, the cold season, we haven't even talked about that yet. In a worse-case scenario, God forbid, we could have other losses ahead.

Tim Nance

We have to turn it around. The first part of our season (non-conference) is done We have to look forward and win out our conference. That's our primary goal right now.

Will Miller

I'm happy for him for the recognition he got for a very good freshman season, but I hope he puts it behind him and continues to work and play hard.

Steve Klaas

The five percent drop is shocking. It indicates that perhaps the consumer tax rebate stimulus that benefited retailers during the back-to-school season has petered out.

Delos Smith

It's just something that people can feel good about when there are no administrative charges. That's a huge plus. When I talk about Season of Sharing, people are always surprised that no one charges administrative costs. All that is collected goes to a client.

Wendy Hopkins

It was a big goal. During the off-season, we've been working on the things that we needed to improve on. We got better throughout practices and games. We came up with it, and we deserved it for working so hard.

La'tangela Atkinson

But the way we came back, twice, showed some character. As young as we are, that's a big thing for us at this point in the season.

Chris Wells

The numbers are pretty good for a New Jersey governor heading full tilt into an unprecedented budget crisis. He is going to need some of that good will to get through the budget season.

Peter Woolley

I picked Carolina at the beginning of the season to get to the Super Bowl. Seattle does not impress me.

Bob Scucci

Just to get to play the first game of the season is what I've dreamed of, and it happened.

Lukas Krajicek

Whatever happens in Italy, this has been a remarkable last season so far.

Michaela Dorfmeister

At this stage we don't know the full extent of the injury. We all have our fingers crossed and were hoping for the best. Regardless of the result of the surgery, Matthew will not take to the field again in season 2005.

Peter Rohde

We want to win conference again. It was the high point of last season. The kids have set a goal of 150 for themselves. They're committed to what they feel can be a very good season.

Tom Wirth

We had a good year. The kids won the section and this was a disappointing way to end the season. You don't always get what you want.

Tim Joyce

The cookie all crumbled at one time for us. We had all the questions about our coach, we lost three games in a row and we were trying to figure out what was going on with our season.

James Cox

Allison digs balls that I have no idea how she does it. At the beginning of the season, I told them I expect them to be perfect. Allison really takes that to heart. If she makes a little error, she gets so upset with herself.

Becky Emrich

We've had some of our season-ticket holders call this year's schedule 'eclectic' - and I like that.

Jack Walker

There hasn't been dissension, there hasn't been anything like that. And I'm very thankful for that. That can take place, especially with a rough season.

Matt Bryant

Ten Welsh players in the squad is not too bad - I think it is more than what people would have said at the start of the season - so I don't think we can complain too much.

Gavin Henson

This isn't the time to panic. If you lose a couple of games in the middle of the season nobody takes much notice, but I'm behind the manager and players, and believe we'll do well. I'm backing them.

Milan Mandaric

A word out of season may mar a whole lifetime.

Greek Proverb

Yeah, we're disappointed, but you gotta show them the respect they deserve. And it was a great season.

Amy Donovan

You take away the scoring and the coach doesn't have to (rely on certain athletes running multiple events). We had a lot of state's best times (for the season) today, and that's part of the reason.

Mike Holman

Matthew was our setter last season as a sophomore, so he learned a lot about our offense. We wanted to get him more involved with our attack and he's been doing a good job at that, as well.

Rachel Wiatrowski

With the new rules this season and our inconsistency, a two or three-goal lead isn't a safe lead by any means.

Nick Vitucci

There are some incredible swings this season. More so than I've ever seen.

Jerry Wainwright

We've seen each of the teams in our conference once this season. Now it's just a matter of playing more consistently the second time we face them.

Charles Howard

I think we are going to try and improve everyday. I think right now you really don't assess things until after the season, but there are things we need to improve on.

Mike Florak

We needed a No. 1 receiver. So Jerry [Angelo, general manager] and Bobby [DePaul, pro personnel director] came up with tapes at the end of the season of about 10 or 15 guys we liked who were going to be free agents or guys we thought would be cut for salary cap reasons.

Darryl Drake

We're here to give our gift for the holiday season to the tourists of New York. We're here on good faith to play. We intend to go to work.

David Lennon

It is true that we play in Europe every now and again and that we have to face matches in the league in between these legs but we are at home and we have to go out and get three points in spite of the fact the rivals are tough and are having a good season.

Juande Ramos

He's going about all of this real well. It's like when I lost my grandfather last season. You put it in the back of your mind, and it kind of motivates you. You play for them.

Jeffrey Rea

There's a lot of technique involved and the way (throws coach Dennis Kline) sets up our training, our distances go up and up as the season progresses.

Kevin Becker

Buying fruit or vegetables that are in season is cheaper, as is buying loose produce. Frozen peas contain more vitamin C than some fresh vegetables. Tinned fruit in natural juice and vegetables, concentrated fruit juice and dried fruit contribute to your five daily portions, too. And they last longer.

Claire Williamson

We hadn't been under two minutes for our 1-5 guys at all and it was just under 1:40. I think they're getting in a lot better shape. Jesse was right behind Eric most of the race. He's coming back pretty strong after having mono earlier in the season.

Greg Meister

In my opinion, they are the best team we have played this season. They are difficult to play because they have so many different weapons ... it will be a big challenge.

Christina Bradford

That group of penalty killers aren't slackers. They're [tops] in the league, and they've been strong all season. Those were two especially big goals.

Ken Gernander

I told them that I would inform the club at the end of November where I would be playing next season.

Michael Ballack

These players have been through more in the space of one season than many of us witnessed in our entire careers.

Gary Mackay

We have dealt with it all season. We are getting pretty used to it.

Chase Yoder

We're a better basketball team than we were at the start of the season. But we were a pretty good team when we started the season.

Gene Roebuck

Everyone feels like they have to play year-round. The summer is an unregulated period and we're trying to rein in the out-of-season participation of athletes.

Tom Meixner

They have not pulled on a shirt for the first team or played in front of the Derby supporters but if I need to call on them at some stage this season, I will.

Phil Brown

I'm glad it's over; it's a long season. It was definitely well worth it, but now it's time to rest and spend time with my family.

Chris Gardocki

It was a great run. My team was behind me the entire season, and they put it all on the line every night. We just kept going and look how far we came. That is something I will always remember about my final season.

Cheron Taylor

It was a great way to end her season.

Ann Hughes

We're trying to get another 1991 season going. This is just a stepping stone.

William Henry Hudson

This season's schedule came together over the last few weeks, and we hope that our fans are as excited as we are about the events offered for the upcoming season.

Mike Graham

I thought at the beginning of the season when we were home most of December that helped us a lot to gel as a team for when we went out on the road in the second half of the season.

Jodi Korbas

Hell is truth seen too late - duty neglected in its season.

Tryon Edwards

We will recognize our players at the end of the season.

Robbie Nichols

They've got a great defense. It's a challenge for us and we look forward to it and moving forward in the season and seeing where we're at.

Tom Ashworth

The only storyline we have right now is Luanne starts going out with this guy, Lucky. Tom Petty ( search ) does the voice. He's a character we had season-before-last, and we just loved the character and the way Petty did his voice. It felt like it really fit.

Mike Judge

We obviously don't look at the second half of the game as the season. We're very proud of our season. We battled through adversity.

Rob Lang

This is one of those dates that will be put up on the wall, which is nice. The credit goes to the hard work of the kids, especially in the off-season.

Lester Funk

We can't and won't let this ruin our season.

Clare Phillips

We own overtime. We're 5-0 now this season in overtime. We were all smiling when it got to overtime because we knew we had it. We find a whole new gear there.

Laura Harper

(Coach Smith) just said we were pressing too much, trying too much to do the right thing. We've already beat them three times - we didn't really overlook 'em - we just maybe weren't ready for them. They were better than they played all season.

Spencer Jones

That's kind of been the tale of our season. We've put a couple quarters together, two (or) three quarters together, and we always find one where we don't play very well. We came out heavy footed and didn't get much done in that first half. We have to find a way to put four quarters together.

Jon Monti

We treated this like a regular-season game. Whether they did or not, who knows?

Marc Bulger

I'm very excited for the opportunity to continue on the path of taking this program to the next level. I think the guys are excited and everyone is ready to get the season underway.

John Lange

Give our girls credit, they didn't quit, but they haven't quit in any game all season. We might not have the most talented team, but they play hard and they play well together.

Dennis George

We did very well in the second quarter, and that has been a microcosm of our season. We play a good quarter and then not be so effective in another quarter. But our defense played pretty well throughout.

Dennis Cromer

[We] are working on it. He will be a part of my Bravo show next season.

Kathy Griffin

Despite the hurricane, we believe that the back-to-school season could be one of the best in years with particularly strong sales in the month of September, especially later in the month when weather is expected to be especially favorable.

Daniel Barry

We're very lucky to get another chance. It's a great opportunity. We have some unfinished business. We got that feeling of what it's like to watch another team celebrate at the end of the season. We can use that for motivation, because we don't want to let that happen to us again.

Mike Prpich

We played in that tournament two years ago. A lot of good Big Ten teams in that event. It will be a good early season test.

Jim Poling

We are a different team right now. We lost to Notre Dame earlier this season by 21 and we were able to beat them, and now this win. We're learning how to play so well and I can't tell you how much I am proud of these kids right now. I'm just so proud.

Nikki Tartaglia

We hope to have the ball- fields open by the time the softball and baseball season really gets going. Plans are to have the remaining improvements done by next fall, but it is all weather-related. That is when we would like to have it complete.

Jackie Jones

For us to have a chance this season, we need to throw strikes and make the routine defensive plays. When you do that, you have a chance to win.

Jeff Todd

The chances that we did have, we didn't finish them. They had three chances and they went in. Every reasonable chance they had to score they did. But we can't put our season on one game.

Amanda Melchor

I think we have a chance after this tournament, I hope, that we'll continue to make some progression and get better for the stretch here at the end of the season. I think these kids can do that.

Scott Oltmann

Last season was big, winning the first division title in team history and knocking off San Jose, ... It was just a great season, but it's a business and it was time to move on.

John Kaleo

I'm happy with the season. We won 10 games in my first year and this year we won 13. Hopefully, we'll keep progressing. ... This is year two of the staff being here. Hopefully, the third year we'll progress even more.

Pat Dimmick

The key for us is to not back down. We have to realize that until the game is over we have a chance to win. Early in the season last year, we would get down by three or four goals and we would let it get to five or six. But at the end of the year we had two one-goal overtime games. It just takes an atmosphere of competing and knowing that you always have a chance.

Adam Pascal

I've had a season ticket since 1968. I don't find any problem with it. The chairs are comfortable. They have adequate (refreshment) stands.

John Lester

The only thing that's going to keep me off the field is something that's season-ending. It's getting better. It's just a little tight.

Brad Hoover

A.J. was nails. He was tough. He was very good for us and I hope we get that the rest of the season from him.

Todd Blomberg

We're starting to pick it up at the end (of the season). We're focused.

Dellena Criner

Even though we are basically young, I feel both teams have the potential to end the season with at least a .500 record. There's a lot of parity among the 12 teams in the conference. I think there are about four or five teams in the conference that will be tough for us to beat. But I feel we will be very competitive during the meets.

Vince Morris

It hit us at a hard time. We only have eight conference games so it took a lot out of our season. We weren't the same.

Tom Powers

It's not a lot more work than during the season, but you're doing it year-round. Now when I go to a tournament, I look at the guy I'm going against as just another wrestler.

Alex Mckinney

I don't think the Giants would trade him because the business of going after the home run record may be the only thing that sells tickets next season.

Art Spander

That's such a morale booster. It's really great to overcome that mark, and the sky's the limit for us now in relation to how many wins we can achieve this season.

Lindsay Sawyer

These data suggest that retail spending this holiday season will not be depressed and may exceed normal seasonal patterns, despite what some consider a negative economic climate.

Frank Newport

I'm skinny now; it's like I'm wearing a girdle, ... In the end it was my decision, but this could be it. It could be one of those things where if I wait a day and I don't give everything I've got the next couple of games, we may not have another chance. I'm not going to risk that. If it [the back] gets bad, that's cool, I've got some time off at the end of the season.

Lauren Jackson

I'm not going to give up because he hasn't given up on me. I didn't expect him to throw BP when the season began.

Reggie Abercrombie

It's wonderful to accomplish this. This was one of our goals before the season started.

Kalvin Baker

He tended early in the season to look for his shot; now the other players have to look for his shot.

Paul Doerrfeld

It was our best first half of the season. The kids were fired up, and we got a big lift from sophomore Marty Nally.

Bill Cahill

It's an important part of the season. I don't want to say it's critical yet. If I have a choice — which I don't have — of when you want to lose three in a row, we're lucky it happened now and, hopefully, we can stop the bleeding.

Dave Bike

He blossomed through the season. He has been a good player all season, but he got better and better as the season went along. Toward the end of the regular season, he became an absolute star player.

Barry Booker

Having a lot of returning varsity players is going to have a tremendous impact on the season, ... Last year, we only had three returning players. This year, we have more experience.

Mark Taylor

And the full-season beans were even better.

Paul Daily

We played like it was the beginning of the season. We were pretty rusty. Our hitting was very spotty, nobody hit consistently and our defense struggled.

Steve Bullock

The second-quarter season is looking bleak.

Michael Hughes

This season is all about celebrity fragrances and celebrity endorsements.

Felicia Milewicz

We played them earlier in the season at their place; we didn't play well and they played aggressively. They weren't as aggressive this time and we've been playing better. We're being more patient and when we do shoot three-pointers they're coming in the flow of the game.

Pat Tarrant

Glenn and Alan are capable of getting us through to the end of this season. The board won't be hurried. We have to get the appointment right and we will take our time.

Freddie Shepherd

I made my decision in the last couple of weeks (of the season). I talked to my family, talked to some other sources. I knew it was time for me to go.

Ray Edwards

I don't think so. They haven't shown the consistency to do it during the regular season.

Doug Gottlieb

I apologize to my former teammates and coaches for leaving at midyear. I feel I can best deal with some personal problems closer to home that have been weighing on me over the last few months. I wish KU the best the rest of the season.

Micah Downs

I think we surprised everyone here last year. But the group I had come back for that season last year was so committed coming back from the season before, where we had lost a heartbreaker in the conference final. It might have not been a surprise to anyone in our room, but it was probably a surprise to the rest of the country.

Scott Edwards

They certainly have a high-powered offense. They mix it up pretty well. We certainly don't have the speed of Robinson in our backfield anymore, but we'll have to grind it out. We're more of a power team this season.

Ron Hilliard

We came out tonight with a little different mindset, to have some fun. We were either going to come out strong or call it a season. We weren't going to come out and give up another quick goal, and we came out and rang one up off the post within a minute. We came out strong and never let them in it.

Jim Post

She did a wonderful job. Other girls had season highs, so it was a very good day for us.

Pam Beck

We're at the tail end of earnings season, and the ones I've seen today are up nicely. In general, the numbers have come in better than expected across the board and it's been a good quarter, (though) definitely choppy.

Ryan Crane

The success we've had this season is because they play so hard.

Dan Spellman

I was looking forward to the 2005 season when things fell apart. I ended up in a dispute with my sister (Chanda) and father (Les) about our race team, and we parted ways. It was a bitter ending and there are still a lot of hard feelings.

Chad Reitz

I always look for the negative thing and feed off that, ... Every day I feel like I've got something to prove. I've got to show them, 'Hey, man, don't put me down. I can play, too.' I've just got to prove it. The hungriness is going to help me make plays through the rest of the season.

James Reed

Either he is going to get through this first season and grow from there or basically the thing goes up in smoke.

Michael Claudon

She started off the season playing much more aggressive because she felt like she had to. She just got it in her mind that she was not going to be denied.

Anthony Houston

They didn't use him much at receiver last season. But he has the sort of versatility to contribute on both sides of the ball.

Pat Sperduto

Having your season high at senior meet, you can't really ask for anything better.

Meredith Hoover

It's not like he's just a defensive guy. He's a strong kid, and I wouldn't be surprised to see him [in the Majors] this season.

Butch Wynegar

Gasoline inventories are of greater concern, but the draw was smaller than in previous weeks, and we don't have that much time left in the driving season.

Timothy Evans

We didn't play our best ball tonight. But at this point in the season we will take the win. We got ourselves into foul trouble and didn't take care of the ball.

Carolyn Jackson

If she has a good season and she wants to be the big gun and get it done, then she may see a little more time on the mound.

Amy Evans

If Arsenal win all their games then maybe we could have a problem but we don't focus on other teams, we will see what we do between now and the end of the season.

Martin Jol

Last season left a bad taste in his mouth, I'm sure. He's got a good taste now.

Chris Maloney

Penn State was a real surprise. They were pre-season ranked 100th in the country [by golfstat.com]. They must have gotten some real good freshmen.

Debby King

Fall is my favorite season in Los Angeles, watching the birds change color and fall from the trees.

David Letterman

My confidence has really been boosted back up to where it should be. In the beginning of the season, I was kind of lost.

Kameron Handy

It's the time of the season that we're seeing things from practice in games. We're finishing our opportunities and definitely taking steps in the right direction.

Nate Cleveland

(Hunt) has a good doubles lineup, and that's what pulled it out for them. It was, by far, our best performance of the season. Each time, we keep getting closer and closer to a win. Hopefully, next time we'll finally get it.

Kelly Matthews

Trey did the same thing last year. He really came on at the end of the last season, too. I like the decisions he?s been making lately. They switched a lot on screens and when he had a big guy on him, he knew it. He took advantage (by driving to the basket).

Kent Houser

At this pace, all the pieces are in place for both total crude and gasoline prices to ease before the peak summer driving season sets in, as we expect.

Rakesh Shankar

This was a quality win. This is the best team we've beat all season. And to get a win on the road makes it even better.

Scott Ballard

I'm extremely proud of our kids for what they did this season. We started out 3-8, and then went 19-14 the rest of the way.

Brett White

That (last season) strengthened him as a leader for the team and gave him a ton of confidence. He sees himself as a distance runner now. That's his identity.

Sue Wright

That a story of our season. We've just lose some games we could have won. Iowa Western has more talent. We just have to get over the hump.

Andy Osborne

We can't take anyone lightly. Every game is an important one -- we've got to build our season brick by brick, and that's what we're going to try and do.

Matt Ward

I thought we'd be in the middle of the road this season, so I'm just shocked to be here. Now we've played 21 games together.

Gail Gladding

I think it's important within our season to bring to our audience the widest spectrum that we can.

Scott Viets

I'm more excited about the possibilities going into this season than I was last year.

Geno Auriemma

He's done enough this time in and will be spelled until the end of January and brought back for the jumping season next year.

James Allan

This is really the first major storm of the season. Climatically, this is the rainiest time of year.

Jim Purpura

That is something we'll talk about after the season. I'll worry about that when the time comes. I would love to stay here.

Clint Kriewaldt

We're taking better shots at this point in the season. Everyone is understanding where they need to be on the floor without the ball. We're just trying to learn as we go and adjust as we go.

Julian Wright

I think once you understand the length of the season and what happens, the biggest thing is you have to learn to pace yourself.

Chris Shelton

It's frustrating, but at the same time I'm not going to miss that much of the season. There's still time, it's not like it's going to end my career or anything. I just look at it as a little bump in the road and you have to deal with those things.

Larry Bigbie

Whoever it's going to be ... it's a chance to make a case to play more the rest of the season -- give me a headache before I have to decide the lineup each game.

Peter Nowak

He's a very talented player. He's very skilled and he's very fast. ... He came into the season extremely fit and he's motivated to do well.

Brandon Murphy

Earnings season didn't provide the kind of catalyst investors were looking for. Guidance going forward was very lackluster.

Ryan Larson

It's the Spaghetti Bowl - anything can happen. It's one of the biggest games of the year. We try not to base our season on it, but it is a big one because of the fact that it is the rivalry game.

Alex Linnenkohl

I was a lot happier walking off the mound today than I have been in a lot of the previous outings this [season], ... It's been a constant battle to work on mechanics and different things. I liked how I threw the ball [Monday]. I'm not where I want to be, but it was much better than it has been.

Keith Foulke

We looking forward to being back year next season.

Kent Thomas

Hopefully we can be playing our best baseball later on in the season.

Paul Blanchard

It's our fashion color of the season, something we definitely believe in.

Todd Snyder

This may start out fairly slow because its early in the season and there won't be vegetables and things yet.

Sheryl Lehr

If he comes back and is healthy, you try to give him a chance to go out this season healthy.

Jim Beattie

We have the chances but no one is stepping up. It is going to be a battle for us. By putting the ball in the net we reward ourselves, and if we play at our potential, we can be competitive. Being young is not an excuse this late in the season.

David Cosgrove

I'm healthy as can be. The finger is a non-issue. With the way the season started and the way I was going, it was just rolling, like a snowball going down a hill. It was disappointing for what it could have been.

Adam Eaton

The kids deserve to finish out the season in the most positive light we can give for them.

Tim Tackett

He hit the 70-pitch count and early in the season, that's enough.

Dan Niemi

It's a fun deal for our kids. It's one of our fund-raisers that we do. We'll present the varsity kids with their jerseys, and try to introduce all the kids and give them recognition. It kind of gets your season going a little bit.

Frank Romero

This team's been through a lot. Hopefully, we have enough coming back to have a good season next year.

Bob Gonzalez

The better you are on the mound, the better you are as a team. Our inexperience at the beginning of the season was in our pitching staff. You?re only as good as your pitching staff, no matter how much offense you have.

Matt Brainard

They're anxious to continue the season and keep pressing on. They want to get out there and shoot another nine.

Brad Hobaugh

He has been doing a pretty good job this season.

Terry Beauford

It's going to be a great weekend to get outside and celebrate the winter season.

John Seaberry

We're just trying to enjoy the season and have fun with each other. Good times are on the way. We all believe that.

Shawntae Spencer

There is definitely a buzz around the program, and it's not only about the recruiting class we've got coming in, it's the season we just had.

Brandon Miller

We struggled to get our shots to fall, but overall we had a good season. We saw lots of improvement in our players and their skills and I am very proud of them.

Lynnette Creed

[And after coming on strong late last season, expectations have risen: The Redskins have made Cooley an integral part of the offense although the results haven't yet come.] I'm happy with where I am as a player. I feel confident, ... I'm disappointed in my production personally.

Chris Cooley

This has been a very tough decision for me to make, especially considering the magnitude of the upcoming season.

Jennifer Kirk

We just wanted to get geared up for next season. This gives them a chance to start working on their chemistry. With both of our cars out of the Chase, the time was right to move forward.

Richie Gilmore

We're midway through the season now and I think the girls are starting to progress. We've got a lot more work to do, but I think that we're going in the right direction.

Dave Hohenthal

We're not even up to the season until conference hits. We've got to keep that mind set that we might not do so good at the beginning but we've got to keep working towards the end.

Stuart Collins

She's been a real pleasant surprise. She's been in our (1,600 relay) lineup indoors and done very well. This is sort of a strong positive to start the season.

Peter Raak

Each time there is a back-to-school session more students go online. We expect this back-to-school season to be the biggest ever.
