Every team is a work in progress. But yes, it's been a big change. To lose as many seniors as we did — players who were as good as they were — it leaves a big gap.

Jen Towers

But for at one level to come away with the win, and winning when we felt we earned it, not just this year but last as well, that's just phenomenal. But when the seniors were announced third, that was devastating. I feel our team and the senior team are all just one big team.

Michael Smyth

We learned a lesson (against TC). And the seniors have a debt to pay Friday.

Jim Harte

This is a smart team. When you tell them something, they go out and do it or at least try to do it. It was a credit to our seniors. Christina didn't have a good shooting night but had a good floor game. For some reason, we all battle it. You kind of forget what got you there.

John Chernick

It depends on the day. One day, we look very good and the next day, I'm going, 'Oh my gosh!' We're very good, but it depends on which team decides to show up. I have a wide range of talent and ages, from seniors to eighth-graders.

Melanie Mumbulo

The idea is good, the goal of getting seniors some help on the cost of their medication. I just don't think that it was well thought out, and I think that it was implemented too quickly. There are just so many factors. It's overwhelming, really.

Larry Coats

We are very optimistic about this season. We have a lot of seniors back and we are very athletic and quick this year. We have a tough schedule and will be tested early on, but we could compete for a district championship and make a run at state. That's our goal.

Gary Griffin

I think these girls, especially our seniors are overachievers. They met their potential, and that's all you can ask for. They battled from the start of the season to the end. We just ran into a really good Garden Plain team.

Vance Lee

We put in a lot of hard work and it's exciting to have it pay off. A lot of seniors put in a lot of work and don't get the chance to go down to state even once. For us to go twice is so special.

Rob Patek

We had much better passing and we blocked much better in the third game. We have a lot of seniors that saw a lot of playing time last season so we have a mental toughness that lets us overcome a bad game.

Yun Chen

We lost four seniors, we are not very deep. But he Powell has been such a welcome addition to the team.

Hank Bontrager

I told them that if we play like this a week from tonight, the season is over. I hope the seniors realize that. If they don't bring it, it is over.

Ryan Sullivan

That's an accomplishment for these guys. We're a young group, so it makes it exciting for next year. We're losing great seniors, but we have more great kids coming back.

Doug Short

How I feel is just a lot of anger and sadness and motivation at the same time. We just lost four good seniors, and we're going to miss them a lot. But everybody has to stay strong. Next year, we're going to come back and we're going to bring it.

Lonnie Lawrence

That's the kind of leadership I want to see from our seniors. Bryce really came through for us.

Dennis Erlich

They have every advantage that we don't. They had 90 kids come out, we have 30. They have 14 seniors, I've got three. They have four coaches and I'm lucky enough this year to have three. There's a lot of advantages they have that we don't. I respect my kids when they can hang with a school like that.

Jim Post

We've got a lot of seniors. In a tough ballgame like this, you want your most experienced players out there in the fourth quarter.

Mickey Hardy

This one's sweet. We've got five seniors that never have played on a championship team, and it's a tribute to them and their hard work in the Madison program.

Jim Matthews

It's your last go-around so obviously you're real excited. There are a lot of seniors right now that aren't in the tournament, they're going home, they've already had their last game, so luckily we haven't had that yet.

Brittany Davis

Only four out of every 10 eligible seniors are actually enrolled in that program.

Jan Munoz

We've added quite a few new skills. It's not because we're hiding them; it's that they're just now ready to be shown. For the seniors, it's their last chance so they might as well go for the gusto.

Michelle Post

At Shaw, we didn't allow seniors to go out for football. I just felt it wasn't fair to the seniors. But we were desperate.

Hank Tierney

We could've used a scrimmage before this game, but we didn't get to play. We lost nine seniors. That's a lot to replace, but we're going to be pretty good in a few weeks.

Meredith Corriher

Burns is committed to providing affordable and accessible health care to Montanans, and the reductions cited were to reduce Medicare overpayments, which were not benefiting Montana seniors.

James Pendleton

Our juniors went out and had a great day. I'm really pleased with our lower levels. Our seniors are leading us really well, but you know, we're getting some points from these juniors. And more than scoring points, we had three conference champions today. That's pretty cool.

Ben Provencher

The continued prohibition against such bargaining will not only hurt seniors but will fleece the American taxpayer.

Ron Pollack

We had six really good people as seniors this year. The hardest thing in basketball is you lose your seniors. They are good role models and I just told the juniors that in the locker room. People played together and they sacrificed for each other.

Larry Klukas

If our seniors don't play well we don't win that football game. I also think our coaches did a good job getting us ready to play last week. We need to be just as good this week. This game is just as important as last week's game. We have to win, then hope for some help to get into the playoffs.

Hugh Fountain

We came in the huddle at the end of the third quarter. There is still one more quarter. Our seniors, juniors and sophomores didn't want it to be the end.

Nate Nygren

I will be counting heavily on the seniors to provide some leadership for this team. We have a great chance to be a special bunch this season.

Marc Sieving

Campbell needs to deal with the crisis in seniors' care in BC, not try to import ineffective for-profit models from Europe .

Joyce Jones

We were picked to win the title at the beginning of the season, but it is another thing to go out and do it. I'm extremely happy for our three seniors.

Michael Toups

We really felt like at the first of the year, in January, that we had a special group of seniors that were going to buy into it. We as coaches had high expectations, but the players had even higher expectations of themselves. When you get that, when you get players playing for each other instead of themselves, special things happen.

Lee Shaw

I knew at the start of this season this team could win it all. We have six seniors on this team, and all that experience made the difference this year.

Chip Dinkins

The maturity of the seniors helps the underclassmen, and we have seen that already. Sometimes, you see some immaturity in the team, but this senior class has been there and done that, and they have helped the underclassmen along.

Kathy Januzelli

We didn't have any seniors on the floor at the time. The young players played well and that was encouraging.

Lori Hines

Along with talent and depth, we also have a lot of experience on this team. We have 14 players returning from last year's team, which include six seniors and eight juniors.

Ryan Sisco

Senator Burns should stand up to the big pharmaceutical companies and let Medicare negotiate drug prices to make them more affordable for our senior citizens. We need a program that works for seniors, not against them.

Jon Tester

You have a lot of seniors that live in this community. We cannot afford this large increase. Even the young people cannot afford this.

Doreen Guerin

It was nice that we could get everybody in the game, and it was a good way for our seniors to play their last (regular-season) game at home.

James Forni

Especially the two seniors, one with 3 credits away, one with four credits away, we were hoping they would be able to go back to school in January.

James Meeks

I know the seniors are in great hands with Leta and Angela. Leta has worked with the seniors since 1997 and Angela was hired in June 2004. They both love what they do and are a tremendous asset to the program.

Birgit Briggs

The biggest thing with us is we got two seniors on the team and that's it. They're the only two back from our state championship team last year. It's pretty hard to win when you don't have a bunch of seniors.

Gary Munsen

The kids have bought into our system, ... Led by our seniors, we have good chemistry and the kids are united.

Tom Bailey

We grow 15,000 pounds of tomatoes. We have an ample supply of each of the vegetables we grow. There are 300 active seniors who maintain the garden, and we really enjoy it. It beats the heck out of a rocking chair.

Wilson Archer

We're very pleased with our rookies. We graduated seven seniors last year, and we knew heading into the season that some of our freshmen needed to step up.

Karen Mullins

This team is full of seniors and we've had games this season that we almost lost because we almost let it go at the end. That showed up in the fourth quarter here. But they know what to do. They know when to come and play.

Mike Davidson

Our seniors really stepped up. They've been in big games. They do the little things it takes to win.

Terri Bamford

I addressed the team after the game and told the sophomores that this experience was something that you can't replace. I told the seniors they laid great groundwork, and we're really going to miss Jason Square. Our future's bright.

Mike Brewster

The students get to see their lives are perhaps not so different from those of the seniors when they were growing-up. It was a different era, but they faced the same problems and issues.

Carol Lane

It's really an honor to be elected by your peers. Looking back, 10-0 was a special season for all of my seniors -- and all of my players.

Bill Cole

Our seniors have accomplished an awful lot, but the only thing missing was beating Carroll, or winning a national title.

Kevin Donley

The kids worked hard. This was a typical game against Rockport. It was scrappy and exciting. Our kids went out there and had fun. They also wanted to win this for the seniors. We played a good second half and ended the season on a high note. We have a great group coming back, so we are excited about the future.

Bill Cahill

It comes down to those kids. Our five seniors are great leaders. We have great kids who are on one page. That's what it takes and that's what we got (in the district championship game).

Josh Hood

For us seniors, and for the team as a whole, we wanted this pretty bad.

Tony Binetti

Our biggest problem when you look at this team is 15 out of 19 kids are freshmen and sophomores. We have no seniors so we have no great senior leadership.

Doug Foote

(Hawley) has a great ball club. They started four seniors and they're rated third in the section. We came out and played hard and we stayed as close as we could with them. I thought our girls put in a good effort.

Harold Chitwood

We were (24-4) last year, and people didn't expect us to be as good. But it is a credit to the six seniors in there who fought so hard.

Brett Hardy

We're looking pretty good so far. We only have two seniors, but we have some talented underclassmen. Next year, we should be very, very good.

Lee Shaw

Our kids played really well against a team with seven seniors.

Brian Meny

There's a lot of emotion in senior night. It was in the way the seniors talked to the team. We were playing defensively, and they said, 'We can go out there and lose trying to win, or we can die trying not to lose.' They decided they wanted to try to win.

Ashley Edgar

We've got to get Paul Davis going. Once we get him going, that's going to open up a lot of things on the outside. That's the best way to play, inside out. Right now, neither of us is playing to our capabilities. We're the seniors. We've got to lead this team. The young guys look to us. If we're not playing well, we're not going to win.

Maurice Ager

There's a huge influx of quality kids in the valley. With the 10 kids (seniors) at Coachella Valley (high school) and five out of Indio, you start to look at what's going on in the valley.

Shel Wellins

We have eight seniors. We have guys who've been through the wars and they know the program and what to expect. We'll need all those guys to be some type of role player.

Tom Nelligan

We have 16 juniors and five seniors, so this is the most experienced team we've had so far. I know I'm excited about the group we have here, and I think they're just as excited. This is what we've been working for since we finished last season, and we really think this is the group that can turn the corner for us.

Willie Gawlik

I thought the seniors did a great job of leading. The captains did a great job of leading on the court. The younger kids, they were key; they bought it to what the older kids were doing on the court.

Tonya Mackey

Our varsity roster is pretty evenly split between juniors and seniors, which is a good thing, we won't be so lopsided with only seniors.

Craig Marshall

I think we've improved more than they have. Warroad has a lot of juniors and seniors but our young kids have picked it up.

Tim Moe

The seniors have never made the states. You could tell that their energy was real high.

Clark Chapman

We started five seniors to show that any loss can be their last game. I think the guys performed well against Oconee. We didn't do much different, but I wanted them to know that any loss would be their last high school game.

Darron Rogers

We talked about how important this last conference meet is to our seniors. We motivated the kids by emphasizing the importance of our seniors wrestling well in their last conference tournament.

Bob Dyer

I am actually going to sit down tonight and enjoy it. It's our senior night, and we are going to celebrate our seniors.

Jamie Betancur

There needed to be some kind of forum, to talk about these kinds of things. (Seniors) come from a much softer, much gentler point of view so the kids would be able to understand.

Charie Harris

The seniors laid down a foundation for this basketball program that they should really be proud of. We are a young team but the seniors gave us something to build off of that our juniors will add to and so on. Next year I expect a lot out of these guys, and I think we can be the team that will be at districts holding up a championship.

Tom Ramon

We lost six seniors from last year's team that won 20 games, and that hurt us in the early part of the season. We played our hearts out, but we came out on the short end.

Brian Winter

We want to finish the season ranked in the top 20. If we do that, the air is thin. There aren't too many people up there. To be a part of that elite group, that would mean a whole lot for us and the seniors and the fans.

Tye Hill

It comes from our seniors having been in the program for four years. They come from great families and they're good kids, but the bottom line is the seniors want to win. When you have a group that wants to win as badly as they do, it's contagious.

Jodi Korbas

We're losing some good seniors this year, but we also have some good sophomores that are going to group up a lot and help us next year.

Aaron Capps

Carling and Dana will add a lot to our team. Dana has more experience then Carling but they're both good players. I think we're going to be leaning on them as well as our seniors for leadership this year.

Therese Hession

We have a lot of young guys. For us to get all the games at home and get the tournament here, it would provide a lot more motivation for our seniors to out big and for the home crowd [to increase its intensity].

Joseph Harris

Some of us are very concerned that the tax cut proposed is too large and may not provide adequate funding for priorities like education and prescription drug coverage [for seniors].

Parris Glendening

I thought we were going to have a good team this year. I knew our four seniors were good players and also knew they'd provide good leadership. And that proved out. These guys were great leaders in every way.

Gregg Schaffer

Sullivan played an outstanding game. Bullis shot lights out. Our seniors gave it everything they had; I'm sorry to see them go out this way, but they played hard.

Clayton Weaver

That's good in Spanish because we're seniors and most people can't speak as much Spanish as we can.

Debra Williamson

We had seven seniors, including five who were four-year players, and had lost only two key skaters from the year before.

Paul Letourneau

Our seniors are going to have to guide us the rest of the way.

Tal Wold

We continue to be excited about the prospect of renovating the building to provide 41 units of affordable housing for seniors in the area.

Kate Barton

Getting that shutout was just great. Especially after not going to a bowl game last year, we came to play for the seniors. We were able to do a really good job against South Florida's offensive line.

Demario Williams

We as seniors had never won here. We know what it's like to be in games like this. I was just open and my teammates did a good job getting me the ball.

Sophia Young

An issue like prescription drugs is an opportunity for Democrats to regain their advantage with seniors and to regain their majority in the House.

Geoff Garin

We knew that they had an experienced defensive line and that was one of our concerns going into the game. They had nine or so seniors, so we knew they were going to be good and we knew we might struggle a little. But, we didn't think we'd end with 57 total yards.

Mark Welch

I urge all interested high school seniors to consider making an application to our nation's military service academies.

Henry Brown

I feel pretty good if we just go play hard and compete. They're beatable. But we'll need some players to step up. Our seniors will have to lead us.

Ronnie Maple

That's what you expect from seniors down the stretch, to play with that sense of urgency. These guys have really kicked it in gear. We had great performance out of all of them.

Dick Diener

It is not uncommon for juniors and seniors to take a reduced load.

Carl Wong

I fought and fought because it's so important to these seniors. We wrestle so well at home at the regional here.

Mike Watt

Our kids were very focused and very tenacious today. Our guys had 12 pins for the day. I thought our seniors really did well. All three of those guys did great jobs for us.

John Mesenbrink

They start three seniors, a real experience edge. They had just come off a win against a tough team in Army, and combine that at playing with home, the odds were not in our favor.

Rocky Jarvis

There are over 50,000 seniors in central Arkansas that are eligible for extra financial help with their medications under Medicare, but have not applied to receive it.

Vic Snyder

That win had a lot of heart in it. My seniors really wanted this game.

Gene Morris

We were very happy to make the playoffs this year. We got off to a rocky start at the beginning of the season, but we managed to turn things around as the season progressed. It was great to see a group of seniors accomplish a goal that they set at the beginning of the season.

Darin Harley

Along with our other seniors, we have a lot of experience and leadership to guide our new members.

Kristian Kuegler

I'm sad to see those seniors go but I still have wrestler with experience coming back.

Matt Rossi

There are many options for seniors under the new program to ensure they find a benefit that meets their individual health needs, as opposed to a one-size-fits-all policy.

Amy Maier

These seniors have committed a lot of time and effort. They play well when there's a sense of urgency.

Tim Little

It was a shame to see the looks on the faces of the seniors as they came off the floor. They didn't need this to happen in their final home game. It's too bad.

Bill Devine

Once again, we're real young with only four or five seniors ... so this will be a learning experience for many of our athletes to get in the correct places and do the best they can.

Mike Beall

The 1993 Social Security tax penalizes seniors who have planned for their retirement through savings, investment and hard work. That's wrong, and that's why the double tax on Social Security must end.

Rob Simmons

This is a disappointing loss because we definitely hoped to play longer, but I have to thank our seniors (Abbey Becca, Meredith Koehler) for helping our program get back on track. They made a positive impact on our younger kids.

Brian Best

We do not have any seniors. In the past, we have always had at least one or two seniors on the team, or that have at least been around a couple of years. We just need for someone to step up and assume the leadership role this season.

Linda Pruitt

Those girls as sophomores, skill wise, are where our seniors were in the past.

Sarah Milo

Because there are so many seniors (eight), they don't appear to be happy just playing next week. They're excited, but focused. They're training like it's another day and they need to win another game.

Karen Friel

Our seniors are very good leaders so far and we have a very good chemistry as a team. We are hoping our young guys will mature quick and we end up with a quality football team.

Doug Guillory

Our girls gave it their best show. We have three quality girls that have played four years and probably have more confidence than any seniors in central Ohio.

Reggie Lee

The seniors did a nice job of leading us. We started out the season 2-3 and then went 15-4. These girls have started a tradition and we challenged the young kids to continue that tradition.

Bill Sycks

For the seniors it's a tough farewell. They were looking to go a bit further. But they've got nothing to be ashamed of. They came ready to play and played hard. It's not what we wanted, but we had a great season. We have a lot to be proud of, but we also know we could have been there in Glens Falls just as easily.

Gary Castine

I thought it was a good match. We played well and it is good preparation for our conference matches coming up. It is always nice to win the last one for the seniors.

Dave Borelli

We haven't been playing like we wanted to play this whole season. This is a turning point for the whole team, especially the seniors.

Charles Sharon

(For many seniors) there is so much angst or frustration of the feeling that, 'I don't have enough information yet,' ... Most of us feel, 'Can't you just give me the information so I can make a decision?'

Jerry Cohen

It's really clear the drug benefit has attracted many, many businesses from throughout the country. What's less clear and really important is what they're offering and how seniors will respond to the opportunity to enroll.

Tricia Neuman

Seniors have their own unique and varied set of needs when it comes to vehicles.

Warren Clarke

It was tough to lose 20 seniors that helped the resurgence of the program. They helped us win a playoff game and it will be hard to replace 13 starters on both sides of the ball.

Paul Lanclos

We're losing a lot of seniors after this year, but we've got recruits coming in from New York to Maryland. We've also got a couple of local kids coming in, but our goal was to play some difficult out-of-conference teams to get our name out their even more.

Kelly Mccardell

After the first game, after we got embarrassed, [Pavlik] brought us in and talked to us. He called out all four seniors on the floor and told us he didn't want us going out like this.

Dan O'dell

It's the community-dwelling seniors, people in their homes who have not fallen yet, who are, maybe, leaning toward a sedentary lifestyle. You tend to do less and less. It's this snowball effect.

Anne Peterson

Seniors aren't the only ones who use drugs from Canada.

Stephen Schondelmeyer

It was good to see the seniors come out and just play well. There was a nice crowd and the guys played well. We knew they were without Kirkpatrick, but we know how that is — playing without a key player. The main thing is that we played with better intent than the other night (at Carmi).

Greg Goodley

This building would provide much needed accommodation for seniors and a market for the Legion. Through monthly fees it would make a few bucks to help us survive. It is the best of all worlds for the Legion.

Don Macdonald

I feel great about this team. I love these seniors. It's probably going to be one of the most balanced teams I've had in years.

Bill Mcmahon

This is a young team and we need a little more experience before we can think about outscoring New Hampshire. With a void of juniors and seniors, it is hard to get experience out there.

Brian Durocher

The main thing we focused on tonight is just to get everyone to play hard. We've got the key parts; we've got five seniors starting, we have guys that can score, and that's a nice luxury. But a lot of the guys coming off the bench are new.

Walt Sanchez

I have a lot of confidence in our seniors right now, ... The two seniors I've been around for a long time. So I know what they're capable of doing.

Mike Gillespie

We do have four seniors up front that I think are one of the strengths on our team.

Bobby Wallace

There was a lot of good leadership on the court. It made a huge difference. Those seniors never stopped talking.

Denise Nugent

We look for our seniors to be leaders.

Jim Zoltowski

I told them in the huddle during our timeout that it was time for the seniors to step up. Eli said give me the ball.

Rod Wallace

We are going to lose a few seniors who are very important to our team. Chris Barnes, he's just a leader for us. He'll make a big play when we need it. We don't have too many seniors, but all the seniors are key players.

Devin Hupp

Today, we went over a few things they ran against us. I believe they had more seniors then so they might be a little younger now. So we've got to capitalize on that.

Marques Alston

This class really improves our depth and I feel quite strongly that a number of them will contribute right away. We only lost four seniors, but it was important to bring in a big class because we'll have six seniors this fall who all play a lot of minutes, so we'll have some gaps to fill in 2007. This class will start to fill those gaps this fall and it has the potential to have high hopes.

John Bluem

This was the best group I've had in eight years. Hopefully the seniors will go on and have a great career, and the juniors and sophomores will get back here again.

Bob Jesmain

We challenged our seniors to step up. At 5-5, it was their time to show they were really good. We knew we were in for a battle. We're not in midseason form. The only thing we had a flow in was extra-man [offense]. It's quite the X factor when your goalie robs the other team.

Dave Cottle

Desperation maybe. Maybe it was knowing that these seniors deserved more than that regular season that we experienced.

Kyle Visser

People look at our size and our talent and expect our young guys to play like seniors. They are still growing and learning. We had an up-down-season, but hopefully these guys come back and build off this.

Dave Jamison

We're too rowdy and active for them. I think they only want seniors who sit around and play cards.

John Kenny

It's painful for the seniors. As coaches we'll be back, but for the seniors, that's it.

Paul Moran

We have a good mix of young people and seasoned veterans. You can?t put an amount of importance on the experience and leadership they?re going to give. (The seniors) go out and set the bar high every day in practice and if you do that in practice, it?s going to happen in the meets.

Rick Rachel

Hopefully for seniors, they've already attended a couple of financial aid nights to kind of get ready for the process. The first thing they should have done already is applied for admission because that takes longer.

Verna Hazen

I have five seniors who don't want it to end. They know it's win or go home. Lose, and you hand in your uniforms and get ready for your spring sports. Those seniors aren't ready for it to end.

Curt Lloyd

This is about a satisfying a win as I have ever had. ... I love these seniors. For them to stick together and overcome these odds -- it's equal to anything I've ever been involved in.

Tyler Haynes

Memorial took it to us. A better team? Who knows? Tonight the better team won. But it's been a great run for the seniors.

Jim Gosz

They played very well. They have a lot of experience on the floor with the majority of their top seven or eight players being seniors.

Tim Peterson

There's such a thing as too much choice. If you give seniors a bunch of choices as opposed to a few, their typical reaction is to throw up their hands and take no choices.

David Lipschutz

We really don't feel any pressure at all. We lost 10 seniors from last year, including six position players.

Lee Meyer

I think we were semi-confident and semi-nervous. Competing against 11 other teams put a lot of pressure on us. A lot of people looked at us as underdogs. We don't have any seniors on our team and there's only eight of us.

Tara Cook

I think it says a lot about the six seniors that they were able to accomplish that in a great league like ours.

Stacy Bilodeau

Danni had a rough first half. During halftime, I said, 'You're moping. You made a few critical mistakes. . . . You've got two of the best seniors in the state of Virginia, and they're putting the ball in your hands. They look to you to run the team. Now run it.

Chrissy Kelly

With only two seniors on this team, this does exceed my expectations. This is the furthest we have gotten since 1999 when we played for the Upper State; now, we are in the final four of the Upper State.

Tommy Bailey

We've been good friends for a long time. I've been here for three years now, so those seniors were the last group that I had contact with.

Brian Courtmanche

This is a bunch of seniors and juniors. We're not going to be surprised when a game comes down to the final minutes. These girls have been in that position many times.

Dale Neal

We're trying to win another sectional title. We always feel Pearl River is better in the spring. ... This group of seniors have really been the backbone of this team and they've always put the team first.

Tim Fulton

College career specialists tell us college juniors and seniors are looking for advice on jobs, graduate programs and managing their money. They lack information on Rochester to launch their careers.

Susan Holliday

If we would've lost, we would've gone home; that would've been the end of our season. But, of course, as seniors, me, Blaise [Meeker], L.B. [Brian Glasper] and Pat [Nygaard] didn't want to go out like that. We weren't ready for our season to end.

Marcus Johnson

It's very nice to get a win tonight, especially for our seniors. You can tell every senior was wrestling with a lot of heart.

Dan Roton

There was a real determination from that group of seniors that was left behind, so to speak, to do something special.

Tim Whitehead

Our seniors really wanted it and laid it on the line at the half. This was their last opportunity. It may not have looked like it in the third quarter, but they lit a fire and started playing some basketball.

Karen Garmon

They're seniors, and that's what they're supposed to do. They've given us good leadership.

John Rimas

It ended up working out great. For the seniors, I hope it was a memorable night. They all made contributions to the win. They all played enough minutes. Each of them got a couple baskets.

Russ Crist

We're playing a bunch of young guys, and I just believe that every time they play and get more experience, it's going to make us better. That's not a lot of consolation for some of the seniors in our program, but I've been in this situation before, and I know we're making progress as a program.

Dave Clawson

We have eleven seniors, so it was a nice day to celebrate, the last game at home that a lot of us will have. It's nice to celebrate the girls who make up a lot of the experience of our team, as well as the majority of our numbers.

Brooke Julicher

HMOs and insurers pumping up their coffers at the detriment to seniors is a blight on the Medicare prescription drug benefit and is the last straw of their looting and pillaging of health care.

Jerry Flanagan

It was real emotional. This was a great group of seniors. We had a lot of good times together. We never thought it would end. Everybody is really sad. A great run has come to an end.

Frank Young

Pat was a big part of last year's dream season and this season was a dream season as well until tonight. He always gives a great effort and had another great season. Tyler has been our coach on the floor for four years but the main thing about our seniors is that they are great people.

Buddy Biggs

If you play as long as they have played together, you get along. They've always been team players. Some seniors just worry about themselves and college, but not these guys.

Pat Cassidy

I think anytime you play at that level, it's going to carry over. Along with Angela and Kelly, you know, we have eight seniors who have experienced that and nine kids who haven't. They will be able to share that experience and help them realize what it will take to get back to that point.

Marissa Chovanec

No one goes in there thinking, 'Oh, we've got another road game. The seniors are almost looking forward to road trips so we can get that gorilla off our backs.

Nick Dewitz

We got some hitting today from some of those seniors that did not hit well as juniors. Hopefully they can keep that up. Getting 12 runs on the board is a real shot in the arm for us. It's our first game and you can't be too unhappy with the way we played.

Jim Reiland

It's really devastating. This is not a country that can't afford to feed its seniors. Even with these boxes, a lot of seniors are just eking by. This is a very, very sad comment on the direction of our society.

Paul Ash

Fortunately, this did not affect seniors. It affected 10th-graders, so there was more time to deal with the problem.

Chris Eftychiou

You follow their example. You see how hard the seniors work and you want to work just as hard.

Dante Cunningham

Our juniors just went out and had a great day. Our seniors are leading us really well, but we're getting the bulk of our points from our juniors. They're not just scoring points. We had three conference champions today. It was pretty cool.

Ben Provencher

Those three seniors have been here all four years, and we've made it past the first round of the playoffs each year. That's their legacy. The players who stay here will have to live up to that legacy.

Patrick Springer

The seniors know and realize what is at stake. And for the underclassmen, it may be their best shot as well.

Kevin Raylman

It was probably one of the best rides I was involved in. They really achieved more than I expected. They did everything I asked them to. I'm so happy for my seniors to get this far. I can't thank them for all they've done.

Terry Mancini

Tough non-district competition is what we need to play better and become more focused. When you dress out only 7 seniors, you've got to be ready to step up to the plate, regardless of the opposition.

Doug Guillory

I would love to have Steve stay and I would love to see him have great success. Right now, he needs to get out there and get a good recruiting class to replace the seniors we had.

Joe Chmelka

I am extremely disappointed for our seniors that weren't able to get this game and extend their season. Our kids competed hard and played hard, but playing hard doesn't get you what you want. And what we wanted was a win.

Randy Edsall

Knowing our girls we will grow from this. The seniors will challenge the entire squad to refocus and improve their concentration on shooting at our practices.

Cary Thompson

It was a close match. (But) I thought our seniors really stepped up.

Brian Martel

This win meant a lot to us. It was important to be able to send our seniors out with a victory....Sometimes teams have to go through up and downs. We came out of this as [Las Vegas Bowl] champions. I'm not complaining.

Marshawn Lynch

That was a huge loss. The show must go on. We've picked up a couple of football players, and they've learned enough to help us. We still have four seniors, so we're able to pick up the slack.

Jihad Muhammad

It's a matter of improving. We have many good freshmen and by the time they are seniors, we will have many going to state.

Amanda Hill

They are a great team and match up real well with us. The first time we wrestled them, our seniors didn't win the close matches that we needed them to. But we are in better condition now and Coach Martel has us matched up where we need to be.

Jeremiah Craft

We're really young, but we have two seniors, and those seniors are all-county, all-conference, all-everything. It's just a matter of blending everybody around them.

Max Bukovac

It's a dream to have a last game like that, to send our seniors out undefeated in front of a crowd like that. It just took us 20 minutes to get going and get aggressive, but we did.

John Tharp

The older mobile homes might not be safe. And for seniors, disruption and change can be very difficult.

Janice Mcintosh

With only two seniors, I continue to look at this team as one that is rebuilding and still working to improve their games.

Paul Testa

Children and seniors can both benefit from brainteasers because research has shown that when looking at the brain through an MRI or a CAT scan, brainteasers actually cause the neurons to fire faster, therefore increasing brain activity.

Dale Robinson

When it came down to the last few games in district we had to win to make the playoffs and the kids stepped up and got it done. They stepped up again Tuesday night in a playoff atmosphere. Our seniors have dreamed about playing at the nice facility at Lee College. It's nice to see them accomplish that and play the way they did.

Jason Vela

Al Gore ... has fought to protect and strengthen Social Security and he has worked to provide supplemental retirement security - through meaningful pension reform - to America's seniors.

Paul Beck

They were ready. After last Saturday I think we've just been really anxious to play. I have eight seniors and they want to win. They want to get it done.
