Steve Blake

We just played four really close games and we stepped up defensively. I think we can surprise people.

Whenever we needed something Antonio came up big. He really stepped up and picked up the team tonight.

Bob Goldin

Stacey Nelson has definitely stepped up, and she's proven a lot in these past couple games, especially with her big win against Michigan. Stacey Stevens has come out and thrown the ball a lot better and will make a big impression for our team and against our opponent in the SEC.

Kristen Butler

My biggest concern with the younger girls was that I was afraid the older swimmers would be jealous, ... That's not the case at all. There is no jealousy and everyone supports each other. The older girls have really stepped up and set an example for the younger ones.

This is the first time the entire team has stepped up like that. That was important.

Charley Toomey

Our strength is right in the middle. The seniors stepped up, which is a testament to this group.

Rob Weeks

Nick Fruendt

I think they really stepped up and played well. They were competitive and played hard. At times they made some freshman mistakes, but that's OK.

Reed Goldsmith

I'm proud of my kids. Those kids played outstanding football today. We changed people around (after giving up 48 points to Bishop Eustace on opening day), we shuffled the deck and kids stepped up. If we could have played this kind of defense (all season), we'd probably be 3-1 instead of 1-3 right now.

Ty Belford

All of the freshmen have stepped up. [Freshman] Zach Simmons has been one very positive [addition].

Sam Koch

This team faced a lot of adversity. Our kids really stepped up [the latter half].

Joe Wootten

The girls ? what can you say? They really stepped it up.

I thought we were doing what we needed to do, turn the plays we needed. We didn't do that as much in Games 2, 3 and 4. And they stepped up their serving.

Shane Davis

As far as execution, you can tell a difference. When he stepped in as a freshman, the first time he stepped into the huddle he was as confident as a Heisman winner. He has always carried himself with confidence.

Brad Honeycutt

I've told the players since the start of the playoffs that they have earned the right to be here. They've responded. Everyone has stepped up and is doing what it takes.

Jen Milne

And we stepped up our defense.

I was proud of Patrick. He took us down on a great drive. A lot of people tried to get down on him early, with the interception, but he showed a lot of poise and a lot of confidence and stepped up and led the offense.

Chris Samuels

I think it's extraordinary that we've gotten off the position where the EU is looking to us, blaming us -- which is getting to be a habit over there. We stepped up and put it on the table. Now they can stop talking and starting acting.

Tom Donohue

Alex has become more vocal for us, which is a nice surprise. She never stepped up like this before because she probably felt it wasn't her role when she was younger. Now she feels like it is her time as a senior.

Amy Powell

Kara is such an intelligent girl. She was such a good presence for us inside. She really stepped up today and hit some key baskets for us in the second half.

Candy Wilson

I was happy with how the kids came out in the second half. They really stepped up and weren't afraid of the contact, and they went up strong with the ball.

Kris Kalivas

We just felt that we usually come back and we were forcing the ball a bit. In the second quarter, we stepped it up defensively and that in turn helps our offense.

Curtis Marshall

Smith is a ton, no question about it. We work in practice simulating what he does, but it's tough. Our kids did a great job limiting his opportunities in the second half. He wasn't a factor in the second half, but their inside game stepped up.

Ken Bublitz

There were about four situations in first half and three times in the second half where we really had to respond. I really thought our players stepped up and made the plays they had to.

Tony Dicecco

She stepped up today. That's exciting to see that from some of our younger players.

Libby is tripped up over the investigation, not over the crime, and I think that is significant, ... the impression you get is he was a good foot soldier for many years, but he stepped over the boundary in his job, and no one is above the law.

Jack Kingston

I believe the pacemaker was not very consistent. When she stepped off, we had to make up time.

We're thrilled about it - it's a huge step for our program. These three guys really stepped up.

Julie Bergstrom

Since I arrived at the commission, we have greatly stepped up our enforcement against indecent broadcasts, ... I expect that stepped-up actions like those we take today will convince broadcasters that they cannot ignore their responsibility to serve the public interest and to avoid the broadcast of indecent material over the public airwaves.

Jonathan Adelstein

We had two poor practices the last two days (before the game) and coming down here, we seemed like we were a little flat. But you have to give Davidson credit. They got after us, attacked us and played a good game. Davidson stepped up defensively and we stopped running what we were supposed to run (on offense), and that's a bad mix.

Pat Dimmick

All of our players have at least stepped foot on that gym. We would like to hang the first banner. It has been one of our goals since I've been playing.

Sarah Bowen

We didn't play very smart but defense stepped up in the second half. They moved the ball on us but we never gave up the big score.

Mike Whitaker

Our young guys just stepped up. As the season went on they are no longer underclassmen. They're a step up and I'm very, very proud of them.

Tyler Haynes

I felt in the first half that Burr and Burton definitely stepped to the ball more than we did. But in the second half they were really able to work it together and play like a team.

Wendy Nolan

I am extremely excited about the performance tonight. We had several personal bests, and I'm really pleased with how Jamaal (Charles) and Ryan (Palmer) stepped in today and competed. Raymond (Harris) is showing us that he will be a player at the indoor conference meet.

Bubba Thornton

Yeah, ... I knew right away it was bad. I stepped down and I didn't feel anything. It felt numb.

Quinton Porter

Every kid was important today -- 88-82 is a phenomenal feat. We could not have lost, I don't think, any points today. Everyone stepped up. Every single kid improved today.

Jess Hulnik

Ridge had his third foul in the second quarter (at Franklin County). J.C. had two in the second quarter and our backups had two on them. We played through a rough situation on the road and a lot of guys stepped up to play.

Bobby Martin

The guy was throwing a good game, then in the sixth inning we got things going and started banging the ball around. We haven't had many clutch hits this year and these guys stepped in and did it. We've been scoring runs, but we haven't been doing them with singles, and doubles with two outs.

Chad Logan

Dan wasn't a starter last season but he's really stepped up his game. He's one of our co-captains along with John Moll and he brings some fire to the court.

Miguel Cabrita

They really stepped it up in the second period. We could have laid down and let them keep their comeback coming, but we weren't going to. The third period is our best period.

Derek Damon

For a freshman coming in, she stepped in and did real well under the circumstances.

Chris Woodard

It wasn't like last week, where I stepped in a little bit unexpected. I was practicing with the ones all week. We were all ready to go this week.

Adam Shada

Cheney has really stepped up for us offensively. She seems extremely confident up at the plate and if she can continue that trend in conference we should be successful.

Stacey Sullivan

It's just all happening in bunches this year. It's pretty crazy. It's a huge loss for us to lose Mike Andrew, but Mike Langley stepped into the captaincy and did a great job.

Roger Hatch

We stepped it up little bit since yesterday. We're a hundred times more prepared than last year and we know coach [Reggie] Herring accepts nothing but the best.

Sam Olajubutu

He's matured physically and is a lot stronger mentally. This year, he's put it together and become a team leader. He's stepped up and let the team know how it's done.

Cliff Gauthier

This was a nice game for us. Holdrege played well, and the girls stepped up and got the job done.

Jon Graff

I have stepped off the relationship scene to come to terms with myself. I have spent most of my adult life being 'someone's girlfriend', and now I am happy being single.

Penelope Cruz

We really stepped it up defensively in the last 15 minutes. We were pretty psyched with this one.

Matt Link

Lindsey stepped up to the midfield and played real well.

Jason Venable

We knew we had a couple of tough losses and we knew we had to come out hard and get some shots on net. Tyler and I stepped it up. We?re the leaders of this team and we know how to step it up. We just told the team they needed to pick it up and they did. It?s a big win.

Ben Fralick

It was a great game on both sides. Everybody stepped up and played when they had to play. All that mattered was a 'W'. We never gave up.

Joe Pokraka

It's 10 times better than it was last week. Everybody stepped up, played big, and we got the win.

Kyle Herndon

He was a little on and off in the backup role. But now that (Montoya) went down, he has really stepped up his game.

Ulf Samuelsson

People stepped up and did different things. In this school, kids have an ability to really pick themselves up (against) good competition.

Bill Hosack

Liam (Smith) stepped up in the second half. That's kind of how he's played all year. Ben (Parker) played good defense, but his shot wasn't going in. Jon is the real quarterback of the team. He's a real point guard and he'd rather have the assist than the basket. Sometimes I wish he'd shoot more.

Ray Drake

The playoffs are something new to a lot of our guys. We got off to a slow start, but once they got on us 1-0, the guys stepped up and fought back.

Matt Hayes

It wasn't a shock to me, ... I know most people in the world are shocked. I know what I've been doing at practice and I wasn't able to spend that time on the hurdles. Once I stepped away from the heptathlon for a while, I was able to give 100-percent energy to the hurdles, and I knew that's what it would take to get to an elite level at that event.

Michelle Perry

We don't have any problem supporting those candidates. We are very happy some stepped up to the plate and ran.

Bill Bird

We stepped up the intensity and started playing our type of game.

Linda Kilpatrick

He's been in a cast, but stepped up and hit a big shot for us.

Terry Feeley

We are going to have a party. Setting out back in April and trying to get the $27,000 to pay the balloon payment to save the building, I was really apprehensive about whether I was going to get that. I feel pretty good about the fire company, a lot better than I did earlier in 2005 when we stepped in there.

Lee Pressler

We played a good game against a good team that came after us. We stepped up defensively and made some stops when we had to, and we shot much better in the second half.

Scott Hyland

We had our best team effort of the year, especially in the first half. We did a great job of putting pressure on the ball. A lot of people stepped up and did a nice job.

Paul Dretsch

At times in I felt like we were really out of rhythm and out of sync. Somehow we managed to prevail out there and pull it together. People that we weren't expecting to step it up, stepped it up.

Sue Walker

We really wanted to focus on defense right out of the locker room and the girls stepped it up in the third. We stayed on pace and the free throws were big for us, too.

Gary Wilson

Game one, we got off to a great start and pretty much dominated the entire game. Game two, we got off to a slow start and we were down 4-11 and then 7-15, but the girls really stepped up and increased their intensity.

Julie Craven

Our goalie really stepped it up. Last few games he hasn't been getting many shots, but he played great tonight.

Alex Merry

Law went under the screen so I stepped back and took the three and it fell for me.

Terrell Everett

It was a game of momentum swings and runs, and they (Flandreau) had the final run when they needed it. They stretched the lead, and we had to put them at the foul line ... but their kids stepped up and made big plays in those situations.

Bill Vincent

Ooh, he just shot himself in the face. The man with the shotgun stepped out of the door and just put the gun to his face and shot himself.

William Lowe

Justin has taken to his role as our closer. Tonight we brought him in earlier than we normally would have, and he stepped up and responded in a positive manner.

Rusty Robinett

We started out a little rough, but we stepped it up in the fourth quarter. We wanted to win. We wanted the bragging rights, but we all were looking forward to this game.

Ben Alexander

I thought Walker just stepped up and (turned on his game) in the second half, just refuse to lose.

Don Moreland

Our freshmen stepped up and made play after play. I'm really proud of this group and what they've already accomplished.

Jason Tuggle

Desiree really stepped up, provided energy and we all fed off it. Thomas really fed off her.

Warren Jones

All of our starters are capable of taking over a game at any time. Each quarter it seemed like someone new stepped up and carried the team for awhile.

Corey Rollerson

Jason's got a quiet confidence about him. He was actually sick all weekend. I thought Jason stepped up.

Joe Wootten

He really felt the pain of that loss (to Hopkins in the conference meet). Ever since then, he really stepped it up. He has a different attitude and determination and he just goes after people now.

Andy Weiss

The seniors especially have stepped up and helped the new girls. It's all about how the girls jell together. If they become friends and work for each other, then we have (good) results. Honestly, it's not about the coaching.

Juli Veee

We shot free throws well at the end of the game. Kendra stepped up and that was huge for us. When nothing else was going in, we might as well shoot free throws.

Dena Sievers

With us losing Kelly last year, I figured we needed more of a leadership role, so I kind of stepped into that. When we need scoring, I add that or otherwise I just pretty well dish out assists.

Katie Hasheider

I have to give a lot of the credit to my offensive line. They stepped it up today against a quality defense. It's a lot easier coaching when you have second-and-5 most of the time rather than second-and-10.

Dan Buron

We worked on his mechanics a little bit and changed it up. But he's got a good eye for the ball, keeps his hands back and puts the ball in play. He's been swinging it well, and he stepped up and delivered. That's what a senior does.

Ron Rushing

It appears as though nobody has asserted themselves as the front-runner. Nobody has really stepped up and grabbed a hold of this thing yet. So, you look at the parity, one, and the fact that there doesn't appear to be a dominant team, two, it's wide open. Somebody is going to have to go on a run is what it boils down to.

Tim Coghlin

You know she'll step up when she needs to. She is all over the place. An example of that was against Bates. She stepped up huge.

Megan Myles

We are glad parish has stepped forward to claim what is rightfully theirs. I hope they put the money to good use.

Trey Thibodeaux

In the second half, she couldn't find her shot very well. No one else stepped up to help her score.

Brandi Muirhead

I'm happy for everyone, how they stepped up. I can't wait to be a part of it in 2006. It's a receiver-friendly offense. That kind of speaks for itself on what it means to me in 2006 and beyond.

Rhema Mcknight

The whole team has really stepped up their game this fall. I'm expecting great things from everyone -- even the freshmen are expected to come in and make an impact.

Damon Coupe

We picked it up into a different gear as far as our defense goes. The kids just stepped up, put some pressure on (Dickinson) and forced some turnovers.

Barb Felderman

The big guy in the middle stepped it up.

Luke Reilly

We played a lot of kids today... and all of them stepped up their game.

Mike Geffre

That was a good game for us. Hennessy and Convery really stepped up for us. We had it under two with under a minute to play, and we fouled, but they hit their free throws. We played pretty hard and made some nice adjustments, we just couldn't finish.

Michael Hunt

The first half has always been as battle with East Burke. But in the third quarter we came out and stepped it up. I think they only scored seven points in the third quarter. The second half was the difference.

Jeff Parham

We have a bunch of good news today. First, foreign investors took a cue from strong earnings here and stepped up their buying, in particular after the earnings from Sony.

Kazuhiro Takahashi

I think Sam was a bit awe-struck at the start of the game, but he settled down well. He settled down well when we drew some plays up for him, and he stepped up.

Larry Usher

This is his third year starting. He's got a lot of experience. He's got a lot of guts. He stands in there, he delivered the ball tonight, he did a great job. It's just a lot of experience, he stepped it up tonight, he did an awesome job.

Todd Stuter

When he stepped up his game, I had to step up and take him. If I want to be considered a complete player, I have to show people that I can play defense as well as offense.

Trey Johnson

I?m sure he?s shown improvement over the years, but it?s all about confidence. Confidence comes from, ?Coach, leave me in the game,? because obviously it?s your turn. He knows it?s his year, so he?s stepped up.

Tim Welsh

I thought Colin Rolfe really stepped up his game Saturday. He really took charge out on the field.

Jeffrey Neschich

The drawers in our computer desk literally where the bottoms look like they probably stepped in them or jumped in them to knock them out. They took a whole thing of coffee and smeared it all over the floor.

Tenille Schmidt

After an 8-8 start, it's a big accomplishment. It's all about these kids. Come tournament time, they really stepped it up.

Steve Tompkins

I'm very proud of the way the team stepped up. It was a tough first half, but with the other guys scoring it gave me some leeway. I didn't have to score. In the second half, I just took the shot and I wasn't thinking about it.

Billy Rush

When he gets the rebound, it's going the other way quick. Nobody stepped in front so he got all the way down to the goal.

Jeff Boogaart

They fought back several times and got back in the game. There was a lot of intense defense at the end. Our boys really stepped up and got some key steals and made a couple of shots.

Mike Raidt

The guys stepped up and shot well and that is what we need in the playoffs. We hope to shoot well tomorrow in the regional final.

Duane Joubert

John has really stepped up. We always knew he was capable, it's all about confidence.

Bruce Burnett

Monica wasn't feeling well but she stepped up and pitched a great game the first five innings. She gave us a chance to generate some offense.

Andy Fox

That was our quickest of the weekend, we'd ran pretty much (5.80's) all weekend, the best of an 84 until that round and we stepped up to an 82 and it probably could have done a little more.

Brian Hough

Even small progress is progress. The entire novice stepped it up -- they had their right race at the right time.

Carmen Mirochna

I thought we had a chance to be a pretty good team. I was hoping to get production out of John and Jeremy. They really stepped up and helped the team.

Dave Hepler

She pitched a great game. As far as controlling the game and its pace and keeping batters guessing, she did as well as she ever has. The past couple of games, she's stepped it up a notch.

Dennis Day

We're going to maybe schedule more games in Idaho for Cora. She stepped in and did a nice job.

Dexter Irvin

The difference was the defense. We did a good job of knowing where the scorers were. And playing without one of our senior captains, the girls stepped up and did a great job.

Brian Metcalf

There's always been an opportunity here, but I'd say now that Fidelity has really stepped up its effort to provide more face-to-face guidance, we've got tools to put plans together for clients.

Shane Davis

She had an all-around great game. She really stepped in there when we needed her.

Karrmayne King

We finally got healthy, kept games close and the ball bounced our way a few times. We battled every time we stepped on the floor.

Todd Parker

This potentially cost us third at the meet, but we need her healthy for district and state. We made the adjustments needed and the girls stepped up and competed well without counting on her.

Ron Mascarenas

We stepped it up quite a bit in the third.

Amy Leonard

That's what's made this successful. People have stepped forward and done a real good job giving us the support. That's very good, and hopefully we can keep the town enthused.

Bill Torrey

We were a little nervous at the end there. But they stepped up at the end, and Ryan Goodwin was great down the stretch.

Dan Rucker

I was very disappointed with the way the game turned out. We focused on the big men and the guards really stepped up. But we have a lot of the team returning next year so we will definitely work hard to give it another shot next year.

Richard Netherly

I think with 12 to 13 minutes left, we stepped up our level of play. We were in a lull in the first half.

Scott Schumacher

We finally stepped it up in overtime and contained them pretty well.

Nick Greenwell

I thought we really had control of the game. (North Medford) had some offensive rebounds in the second half that hurt us and they stepped up and made some big shots.

David Heard

Our senior leader stepped up tonight. He kept us in the game in the second quarter.

Todd Bradshaw

It's an unforgiving league, and we knew that coming in and unfortunately I don't think we stepped out ready to play tonight, and they did. Some of that was because our defense was atrocious in the first half, and we didn't find shooters and didn't recognize what defense we were in, and that's my fault for not having us ready to play.

Chad Williams

I was getting really nervous on defense because they were hitting shots. But, I knew we'd find a way. Jeremy hit that big shot before me. Then I stepped up.

Steven Brown

We spent all week talking about second-half intensity and performance. Our guys showed a lot of heart and guts to come back like we today. I'm proud of the way we played and how we stepped it up in the second half.

Steve Beville

Jordan is a big concern, but they have a lot of other guys who have stepped up as well. They play extremely hard and are a very disciplined team.

Ron Niekamp

When I first kind of stepped on the court, I got a little nervous, but about a possession-and-a-half later I kind of got into the flow of the game and forgot about it.

Ryan Crawford

The good people down there (Manatee and Sarasota) stepped forward to help us when we really needed it. It was a very honorable thing that they have done. I just can't believe their kindness.

James Hoyle

She can play inside and outside. She stepped up big tonight. That's what we want our seniors to do.

Farris Lowery

Isaiah came in and stepped up to hit a couple of tough shots when the game got tight in the second quarter. We rotated him and Smith in there and both gave us good production.

Greg Goodley

It felt like we stepped into some sort of horror film.

Raste Khan

We showed that we're not a one-man team. Our kids stepped up and hit some big shots without their leader. That was big for us.

Brett Goff

The team stepped up and did quite well -- we were pleased all through the meet. It was a great meet for us.

Jerry Miller

He was a huge key in this game. Given La Salle's size, we knew our defensive post play would be critical and Landon stepped up and played a strong game.

Chris Roche

In the last month and a half, Michael has really stepped up and we need him to keep doing that in the tournament. He is a second offensive option for us and he's been rebounding very well.

Roy Shoulders

Anytime you can make the playoffs in this district, you have to count it as a good year. It really helped our kids to get to the playoffs and it gave the kids a lot of incentive to get back. The kids stepped up with the new system. Hopefully, this year we'll be better than we were last year.

David Plunk

They underestimated us to start the game, which, in all honesty, is rightly so when you're playing us and you're Ohio State. But then they're able to turn it on. I think we stepped back on our heels a little bit and weren't ready for that kind of onslaught.

Beth Combs

She's certainly capable of it. I've seen her do it before and hopefully she'll do it again. I thought she stepped up huge in the first half and gave us a nice lead at halftime.

Josh Matthews

I'm on the radar and she wasn't. Rachel really stepped it up. She kept us alive. Kudos to her.

Lynsey Timbrouck

Kendra stepped up and played a solid game, nearly getting a double-double.

Mychal Williams

I expect now that the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission will use its teeth to investigate the individuals who have stepped aside, without any hindrance.

Mutula Kilonzo

But in the last two games, he's stepped up and taken control. He has great composure.

Mike Romano

When I first met with them in August, the goal was we were going to make the state playoffs. The kids have really stepped up to the plate all through the year. I've seen improvements in all aspects.

Roger Svennson

It proved to be a great move for me and as the years have gone by I have stepped up into more of a leadership role and have learned to say a bit more than what I did when i first started with the team.

Stephen Larkham

He stepped up to the plate and did what he had to do without overdoing it and using it as a platform for whatever reasons -- PR purposes or whatever. I really respect that.

Bryant Young

They really stepped up and played well.

Matt Lattuada

It's always good to have O.J., but we have some other guys who stepped up and played well.

Jamie Mahaffey

But instead, the Legislature closed the gate on a group of its citizens. When it comes to constitutional questions that relate to the worth and dignity of individuals, this court has always stepped up to the plate and should do so here, as well.

David Buckel

That's just wrong, ... Some people in marketing have stepped over the line from reasonable to unacceptable.

Jack Valenti

I enjoyed about 25 minutes of that game. For that time we matched the intensity of the Florida Lady Gators. But at that time their energy stepped up - probably because of the mistakes we made - and they were consistent.

Carey Green

I stepped up with confidence to take the shot, and it went in. After the shot went through the net, I felt great.

Adrian Joseph

I'm thrilled with the way these young ladies stepped on the field and play. They should not hang their heads.

Renee Heidger

The guys stepped up when we needed them to tonight. They hit the ball on a line, and that is what you have to do to be successful.

Jimmy Harris

Beau was the guy who stepped up in that game, and he had a stellar tournament.

Blair Shier

We have completely stepped up our defensive level. We're much better than what we were earlier in the season. It's kind of what I've been preaching all year long. We're starting to mesh and play together a lot more than we were early in the season.

Melissa Ringhausen

We did not shoot the ball well at all. But our defense stepped up and limited their chances in the second half.

Mike Royer

He played intense from start to finish. He stepped up, played with courage, intensity and leadership. He took the challenge and took it head on.

Libby Dutton

Ivan is an excellent player and this is a great honor for him. This is also a great compliment to the team. Everyone played well and that opened things up for Ivan. He stepped up and was a big part of our attack.

Tom Peterson

Our kids held their composure. That's what senior leadership is all about. Our seniors stepped up.

Ray Sims

Blame part of it on injuries, and last year we had a lot of seniors and Candice (Wiggins) really stepped up, so I didn't have a lot of opportunity to play. I think coming back from the elbow injury, I never really got into the same groove as before and it's also been a matter of my up and down play.

Cissy Pierce

It was good to see the girls can overcome obstacles and even pick up their game even more. They stepped up and played strong.

Angell Floyd

I've been doing this work for 30 years, and I am well aware of the bright line and I have never stepped over it, and I certainly didn't do it in this case either.

Lynne Stewart

He pushed me over and then the ref stepped in. I was trying to keep my head, keep the team points down.
