In the first half, we didn't come out very strong. We stepped it up in the second half.

Boone Freund

I have to admit, when I saw [Wallace] come out I knew he was going to give me a good challenge. I knew I had to step my game up, because Wallace stepped his game up. I knew it was going to be a good competition.

Jonathan Moore

Those were interesting concerns, but none of them became true. In the end students stepped up and did what they needed to do to pass the class.

Cindy Burgett

Heidi stepped in for us and had some great serves for us. We got a lot of points off of her serves. I think just her placement (was excellent), she was probably the most accurate for us.

Julie Craven

It has been a great team effort to come back and win without some of our great wrestlers. Some have stepped up and filled the void, and it has come from different places.

Joshua Katcher

It took us awhile to get rolling. The captains and seniors stepped up and made some big plays for us and kept the momentum going.

Cory Parker

There's so much going on in the world that is so sad. You can go anywhere and find depressing news. I'm glad somebody has stepped up and shown there are still good people in the world.

Carrie Rodgers

Ambrosia had some big shots for us and just played really solid overall. Kubik and Johnson stepped up huge for us tonight. I am proud of them both.

Jeff Judkins

The kids really hung together in a tough environment tonight. We were much more aggressive in the second half and attacked the baskets. A bunch of different kids stepped up for us tonight. They really went to war.

Laurie Pirtle

I wanted to take Henderson out of the game because their offense really runs through her. They had other weapons, though, and those other girls stepped up.

Steve Aden

Nelson County played well and stepped up and made plays to win. We had opportunities to force overtime or win it, but it didn't go our way. You have to give all the credit to Nelson County.

Gary Goode

We've been wanting to see that happen. They stepped up, and that was our game plan coming into tonight.

Sandy Wright

Every player stepped up and did his job. That is what team tennis is all about.

Tim Kessel

I think the whole pitching staff has done the job but I think the bullpen has really stepped up as of late.

Gary Powers

Both teams kind of played sloppy in the first quarter. They were able to come out in the second half and they stepped up and took it. We didn't step up to the call in the second half.

Paul Thomas

Basketball is a game of spurts, you have to stay within reach. They played hard. They didn't play bad. We've stepped on the court before and I felt like we didn't play hard, but we've played hard. They deserved to be here.

Terri Cash

They're catching it. Their effort in practice has stepped up. I'm proud of them. They're showing up, showing up on Saturday mornings, high school girls. They're performing. My seniors have been excellent leaders and great role models.

Kristen Coutoulakis

Our team really stepped up tonight and showed a lot courage to take it to them like that.

Joddie Gleason

A lot of things were clicking tonight. [Junior middle blocker] David Kennedy stepped up and Aaron played well for us. We're feeling real good with our win tonight.

Max Klineman

They really stepped up their play and helped us tremendously in the second half.

Sara Dickman

What a game. Our guys never game up, and when we needed a big shot, someone stepped up and knocked it down. Our guys really played (well) today.

Steve Rives

That's a pretty good basketball team. We were very fortunate to win, especially away from home. I thought everyone stepped up tonight with Griffin hurt.

Dave Franz

There was full intention, because the (Sun dollars) have been in the safe at the park awaiting a rainout. Casino del Sol has stepped up to the plate.

Jay Zucker

Our big kids did a great job controlling the glass on the defensive end especially. We really stepped up defensively. We knew if we played good solid man-to-man defense and make (Central) shoot over us that we would be OK and the kids really responded.

Chris Edge

When I stepped up there, I just told myself that I had to relax. I had to put myself in a different place and just not even worry about the score, not worry about anything.

Sarah Lowe

I think Brooke really stepped up her game in mid January (and) Andrea put in a ton of time in the off-season and played with the confidence of someone who put in that time.

Wayne Cafferty

I thought Cottrell stepped up really well today with the rebounding and his defensive intensity on the court.

Don Chandler

I heard nothing but positive things. The coaches like the competition and the teams here. But a lot of people stepped forward to make it happen. It would be great to keep it here, but it's up to the ADs from both conferences to decide. This was kind of a trial year, but I hope they can keep it going.

Jeff Courtright

Ronnie Patrick really stepped up Friday night. He is full speed no matter where you put him. He's really the kind of kid you want to coach.

Judd Boswell

There has been strong community interest and compassion. The community has stepped up and donated through the faith-based agencies. I'm feeling good about this heating season in contrast to last year's.

Bob Ott

I'm pretty good when it comes to shooting free throws, so at that part of the game I wanted the ball in my hands. They tried to run a box-and-two triangle on us, but we stepped up and played our game.

Mustapha Farrakhan

He was big for us when we were looking for offense. J.C. stepped up and that's exactly what he has to do. He's a competitor.

Brad Ranson

(Allen) really stepped it up today. He's just a kid who loves to fly around and play.

Greg Lynch

He's struggled a little bit with the bat. But over the last seven games, he's raised his average over 100 points and that's when it counts - in district. He's really stepped it up in district, and that's what I expected from him.

Gordon Melerine

We played really well. We stepped up and did what we needed to do. They got a goal right away but we fought back.

Melissa Miller

I think experience goes a long way in the NFL, ... It certainly helped me the other day. I think back on my days in Cleveland and Indy, it definitely made me feel more comfortable. Miami had a different defense than a year ago, gave us a lot of different looks. But I was happy how our offense stepped up and played.

Kelly Holcomb

Other people stepped up, and we got enough production to win.

Dave Chanley

That's a tough one to swallow, but how proud I am of our guys, for the way they played in overtime. They didn't get down on themselves. That could have been a big momentum change, but our seniors stepped up, especially Andrew Thompson.

Scott Flemming

George, a camel, stepped on the foot of a Rockette; six sheep came off the elevator as three kings bearing gifts got on; human Christmas trees bumped into eight maids-a-milking at the water cooler and an elf came down with the flu.

William E. Geist

All year long our defense has really stepped up. We've stressed strong defense all year and we've won many of our games with defense.

Summer Chandler

I felt like Steve was missing some shots and they were making shots on him from the outside. I have Kyle on the side as my relief guy and he stepped up and did an excellent job and that got us back in the game a little.

Todd Boward

They scored when Sarah was out and I thought, oh-oh. But Cassie Delgado really stepped up and played a great game.

Pat Arney

They've really stepped it up the last couple of weeks.

Patrick Dryden

Luckily we stepped up and made some big free-throws. ... We've had some games where [free-throws] have hurt us at the end of the game. This time, they stepped up big.

Connie West

We were facing the No. 1 contenders for the conference cup, and we matched up with them well. Our defense, yet again, played really well and our offense pushed hard. Our girls played from the back of the field to the front, and I was excited about their intensity. We played through their physical game and stepped up to the challenge.

Katie Gravel

We have received numerous complaints about the place from the neighbors, ... We stepped up our routine tavern checks. The sheriff?s office cooperated with us and assisted us, and we are very grateful for their assistance.

Chris Sullivan

In the third quarter we just got really rattled. In the fourth quarter we were expecting pressure and we just stepped it up.

Shannon Wood

People who really love Virginia, Independents, Republicans and Democrats have stepped up to support the principles I am fighting for.

Russell Potts

This is where we needed to have a good round, a round where we have not stepped up in the past. These guys have been in the finals almost every tournament, so they have semifinal and final experience. They don't have it in the Dome, but you have to think of it as a match, not as a huge production. That's what I'm going to tell them ---- one match at a time.

Joe Godinho

Our friends and neighbors really stepped up to the plate for the folks down south.

Gayle Wilhelm

A lot of parents and other volunteers have stepped up bringing in supplies and running concessions.

Brint Russell

People think you don't want others in your position doing well. But Matt Stevens really stepped up and it's great for England that he is coming through.

Phil Vickery

This isn't representative of our department. We had a lot of heroes that stepped up after the storm.

Warren Riley

Ebony really did a great job of guarding Ortiz in the second half. Our entire team stepped it up on defense in the second half.

Maurice Garner

The intensity we came out with was stepped up. I'm proud of the enthusiasm we showed.

Mathias Kiwanuka

I thought the defensive play was tremendous. They really stepped up when they had to.

Tony Bruce

He's really stepped his game up and developed a lot of confidence, and he's getting a lot of confidence in himself of being able to really contribute and being a marquee player for us.

Larry Coker

It was a team effort. Every kid contributed who stepped on the floor and every kid on the bench supported them the whole way. It's great to see what kind of character a team has.

Deb Bennett

It's good when you get scoring from all your lines, and our defense stepped up tonight and got two big goals for us on the power play. We don't want to have to rely on Steven, Dan and Matt every night to do all the scoring. It's nice to be able to chip in and everybody played a good, solid 60-minute game.

Chris Stanley

I just think there's a lot of people ... who stepped up to the plate, who could make the same case.

Cindy Henderson

Skinny boxed very well. He was a little bit slow and then he just stepped up the work rate. People here who have seen Harrison fight up close feel that we will win the fight. Steve Forbes is a very good fighter and Skinny fought aggressive but smart.

Billy Hussein

Andrea is a good shooter. We were told not to shoot too soon. Andrea showed a lot of maturity. Everyone really stepped up. This is so amazing. I am so proud.

Rachel Miller

In the second half, after their PK, we finally stepped it up. At halftime I told the boys to play like it's the league championship and you've got to come back. I was proud of their efforts -- they did everything we could ask of them.

Bryan Winkler

All six have stepped it up and showed me what they are capable of. They have been a huge asset.

Amber Gunnoe

Some of the younger kids struggled a bit earlier this year. We knew we would need them to do really well and they just stepped beyond belief.

Pat Mellors

They're all important, but this is a big one for the community. We had guys played hard and some other guys who stepped up.

John Boitano

I knew before we stepped on the ice what would happen.

John Baldwin

They (St. Joseph) really stepped it up. That's something that's going to happen in a meet like this. They had more guys step up than we had. That's the way I see it.

Owen Black

When I played, teams didn't have as many (pitchers) who slide stepped (to home plate) as they do today.

Tim Raines

We defended and rebounded well, but tonight it came down to free throw shooting and our kids stepped up and made them.

Ben Snively

We had it scored out quite a bit closer. We thought the girls would be a real tight meet. We stepped up.

Dean Mason

We were called out and we stepped up pretty well. We don't care about being rookies. We just want to play.

Dan Buenning

There's no question there were more athletes on (Reynoldsburg's) team than ours. At the same time, I don't think their kids had any bigger hearts than ours. I'm extremely proud of every player that stepped on the floor.

Jim Link

House, he stepped up big. The guy's amazing. As big as he is, he can run. He's got great hands, great speed. He's definitely a weapon.

Stephen Alexander

Our team just stepped up and played good defense. We just all came together tonight, and that's what won us the game.

Marlon King

She stepped up tonight and hit some big shots.

Krissy Kukar

In the fourth quarter we really stepped up our defense. Jessica Dooley was killing us and we stepped up on Stephanie McBride.

Sue Adams

That was a huge shot, and defensively I thought she played solid all game. She obviously did a good job of anticipating it, stepped up and denied the pass.

David Baxter

We had a great second half. We did a better job handling the ball and playing more focused. Kubik and Johnsen stepped up huge for us tonight. I'm proud of them both.

Jeff Judkins

The guys stepped up and played a pretty good game tonight, but we just didn't get any bounces come our way. I'm happy with the effort but not the outcome.

Ted Dent

That's the mark of a good team. When you have a player you rely on so much and when she's not up to her average self, you rely on other girls and they stepped up tonight and did what it took to win.

Kemp Ewing

Brie has personified St. Thomas soccer ever since she stepped on the field four years ago. She is a remarkable athlete and a joy to coach. I often say that even if Brie had not scored one goal, she would have been one of my favorite players.

Gary Finley

The girls really stepped up in Leanne's absence. They cut the lead to seven late in the third quarter and hung around the entire contest. The game was a lot better than the final score looks.

Bob Curtis

A lot of younger boys stepped up today. We have quite a few underclassmen who did an outstanding job today.

Kevin Kinel

I thought this game was going to go down to the fourth quarter. Johnny was Johnny, and everyone stepped up.

Dan Bazzani

We were just gonna really run it out, and (Hart) stepped back and flipped a long one.

Paul Maechtle

I've had all of them playing fairly well. It seems like different people have stepped up. All of them have stepped up at different times. This is a pretty unselfish team. They find the open man, and the open man can put the ball in the hole.

Cary Shively

I kind of felt that people weren't really leaning towards us because of our opponents, but we came in, stepped up and played big and beat Texas. I think that we are going to catch a lot of people's attention.

Kaylee Brown

(McDermott) stepped up. He?s come a long way since the beginning of the year. He was playing real tight at the beginning of the season, but he?s starting to relax a bit and it?s made a difference.

Steve Boyle

Trey stepped up tonight, gave us a leader, somebody to follow. We used our depth, and we were fortunate enough to wear them down over the course of the game.

Aric Samuel

We pride ourselves on our half court defense and there wasn't much pride for it in the third quarter. I challenged them a little bit before the fourth and they just stepped up.

Micah Marsh

Our guys just stepped up and hit some free throws at the end. We've been so close so many times, it was good to see us finally pull one out.

Jason Shelton

Shack's a good player. He's been in situations like that for a long time. I'm glad he stepped up like that tonight.

Nick Young

Our two freshman pitchers pitched outstanding today. They stepped up big for us and pitched the way you'd hope they would when you recruit them.

Dennis Martel

However, the issue is not just Mr. Grasso. The issue is making fundamental reforms at the stock exchange to restore investor confidence [and] establish a model of good corporate governance, accountability and disclosure. Now that Mr. Grasso has stepped down, we can move forward with those reforms.

Alan G. Hevesi

The boards in the second half were the difference. They are stronger inside than we are. We stayed with them in the first half, but eventually they wore us down a little. I thought it was a good game, I'm very pleased with our players. I thought they stepped up to the challenge against the No. 1 team.

Joe Rivers

When I walk into an Orthodox Church... one is immediately aware that one has stepped into the presence of what St. Paul would call the whole family in heaven and earth. You have stepped into the precincts of heaven!

Thomas Howard

Anybody who watched the game, that speaks for itself. When they stepped it up, it lifted everybody else.

Herman Harried

This was a great night for us. We hope we can leave every session feeling as excited as we do today. We really stepped up tonight.

Lea Maurer

We finally came through with some bit hits -- that was the difference in the game. Zach threw real well, scattered the hits and also stepped up at the plate.

Thad Nelson

We have great outside shooters and they really stepped it up for us against that zone and got us a good lead. (Going to state) it's unbelievable. I can't put it into words.

Rob Patek

My kids just stepped it up and finally shot the ball well. The biggest thing is that they just played hard.

Donovan Deboer

I was happy with the win. We got banged up again. The Fothergill twins Eric and Adam played well at mid center. They have really stepped it up, filling in for Greg Raymond.

Rob Gooch

He was huge down the stretch. David Heck, no question, stepped up for us when it counted at the end.

Dick Hunsaker

We were a little worried at first because everyone wanted to give money instead of a gift but things worked out just fine. This is something that we as an organization love to do, the community really stepped forward and came through.

Freddie Lee

Congress has now stepped in ... (with) a more nuanced approach. You don't have to satisfy every jot and jiggle in Miranda.

Paul Cassell

I think you really have stepped it up a notch, and it's been noticed.

Robert Garcia

Kent was the leader of the team. But Boz really stepped up this year. He's definitely become the leader. He's made it his team.

Robb Francis

From the time he stepped on the field, my career took off. He was already going to be a star. He helped me develop as a player and started believing in me.

Laveranues Coles

Stacey stepped up big for us. As important as her scoring and her defense is her leadership.

Debbie Coffman

I'm so proud of my junior high kids. They played so hard. We've been focusing on two things: playing harder and playing as a team. Every kid that stepped on the court for us contributed. We did a good job of doing what we needed to win the game.

Mark Manchester

The YMCA's role in any community is to serve the youth of the community, ... When the Charter School, with their athletic program, didn't have the facilities, obviously we stepped up to the plate to offer this facility to those kids.

Cindy Love

These essential government agencies have abandoned their responsibilities, sending the message to employers that hiring immigrant workers provides them with a free pass on complying with basic laws. The only federal agency that has stepped up its enforcement in the region is Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which has escalated its raids on immigrant communities in the New Orleans area.

Mary Bauer

Other than that, defensively, we did a tremendous job, got a bunch of sacks and kept pressuring the quarterback. They couldn't throw the ball downfield and we stopped their running game. Overall the defense really stepped up to the table.

Don Strock

We had a lot of guys out today, and we had other guys who stepped in straight away and did really, really well. I think we have so many guys with experience that it doesn't really matter who's in there.

Bobby Convey

In a sense, PART has stepped in to bridge the council of government divide and provide a platform that's critically important to us from both a transportation and land-use planning perspective.

Don Kirkman

The guys have really worked hard and it says a lot about the kind of team we have. The veterans have done a nice job of leading the way and our younger players have really stepped up.

Ron Niekamp

In every tournament, somebody else has stepped up and won or finished second or third.

Don Keen

There will be nothing positive driving the markets today. A war with Iraq is getting closer, making investors nervous, after the United States and UK stepped up their efforts for a new resolution.

Gert De Mesure

All great athletes step up, and she stepped up. She was on tonight. Thank God.

Joe Pokraka

In the first half, both teams came out a little sluggish. We talked at the half about picking it up. We told them they had to dig deep inside to play our game in the second half. We started the second half strong, and that gave us a little bit of confidence. Everyone stepped their game up a little.

Mike Reed

I said we needed three scorers, and those three stepped up. If we have that throughout the season, we'll be fine.

Myron Corbett

We've been waiting for us to come along because we've been working hard on our offensive game. Finally today, the kids stepped up and were able to hit in any count.

Jeff Kurtz

We are being underwritten like we've never been underwritten before. The IP has really stepped up. They're wanting to be more involved in the community and we couldn't be prouder to have them sponsor us. We're very lucky. Without our sponsors, we couldn't do this.

Betty Magee

They packed it in and really played defensive against us. We played well, but we just couldn't get it in the net. At halftime, though, I challenged our players, and they really stepped it up. It was really a character-building game.

Chris Stricker

The kids who were on the management team have stepped up.

Penny Reynolds

The community should be very excited and very proud that the district has stepped up to the plate here and said we are going to provide the most professional feeling theater.

Ron Ranson

Our defense really stepped up in the second half. I knew this type of offense would give us some problems, but I thought (the defense) did a tremendous job.

Richard Moore

The youth stepped up to the challenge. It's definitely a good start, a positive start.

John Baybutt

Our young racers really stepped up.

John Peppler

We've had different people step up ... and Conner stepped up tonight. What we want is everybody having a good night at the same time.

Jim Sampson

He must teach evolution exclusively observable scientific fact, not beliefs or religion. I fully believe he will comply. He just stepped over the line.

Alan Lee

She has done an awesome job and has really kept the team notified about the changes that were going to be made and what was expected of them. She really has stepped up as a coach and the girls respect her in that position.

Rachel Maraio

I stepped over the boundary ... I crossed the line, ... I've worked very hard, and you know what? I think I just destroyed it all.

William Crowley

It was a great win for our program and the players. I thought we played really well and we defended them really well. You have to do that against Greensburg Salem. We played hard, stepped up our defense and we played physical.

Tom Traynor

We needed this game. And we stepped up and got this win.

Sue Johnson

We stepped up our defense. We put more pressure on the outside and they only had three field goals in the second half.

Henry Fleck

The course that will restore to the workmen a father's duties and responsibilities, between which and themselves the state has now stepped, is for them to reject all forced contributions from others, and to do their own work through their own voluntary combinations.

Auberon Herbert

We're just playing real solid defensively right now. The kids are rotating really well in our bunt coverage and defensive coverage. Alyssa has really stepped it up, both at the plate and pitching.

Ken Ashlock

I guess we all kind of stepped up in the second half. We figured out we better step it up because we're Herndon, and we want to show we can be number one.

Danny Jones

Leah (Jacks) did a fantastic job tonight. She really stepped up for us tonight.

Karen Stewart

Our big boys took over the game. They stepped up and showed why they're the leaders of the team.

Kevin Dillard

We've still got DeMarco and Corey, and they really stepped up. We still pass-protected better than we ran-blocked. As DeMarco knows, they're going to be after him. (Quarterback) Craig (Sedoris) did a good job.

David White

Something must have gone badly wrong behind the scenes for him to have stepped down. I can see him being the sort of person who wouldn't mess around if something wasn't to his liking - or things were going on - because the job obviously becomes untenable if things are not right behind the scenes.

Sir Clive Woodward

Marshall always comes up big when we need him to. Every little thing we can do to win at the end of the game we do. Marshall really stepped up and knocked down those free throws at the end of the game.

Marco Killingsworth

He is the ironman. He's been a player for us since he stepped onto our campus.

Stacy Adams

Our defense stepped up tonight, ... We are fighting some (illnesses), but we really pulled together in the back and covered each other. This was one of our tougher games. It was a close match and I was really pleased that we came away with the win.

George Rogers Clark

I'm hoping it helped a lot. He came out and executed the rest of the way. That was big for us. He stepped up and made big plays when we needed to.

Travis Brown

Many residents who had noticed strange activity from that house only stepped forward after the raid. If they had come out earlier, we could have acted faster.

Ansyaad Mbai

We just had some guys that came off the bench and stepped up. We had some guys in foul trouble.

Ricky Bouknight

He had that real Saddam attitude from the moment he stepped into that room, and he smiled at his codefendants, he smiled at the judge as he walked past.

Lara Logan

Those girls have really stepped up for us.

Jen Zimmerman

Pitching has been the key. But with top competition every (game), they know they have to battle every night and can't just go through the motions. The guys we've put in have stepped to the plate and done their job.

Bob Talpas

I think she has stepped it up. She plays with leadership on the floor. Her body language leads this team.

Lynn Meger

If they were the only bidder, (the bid) probably would have been closer to 175 (dollars per share), but they really stepped up to the plate and said go home (to potential rival bidders).

Frank Marsala

This one really hurts. We played as hard as we could and we gave it all we could. There were just some key possessions and some calls and things that didn't go our way. Guys stepped in and did what they could do. We fought the game all the way down to maybe the last minute-and-a-half and things just got out of hand.

Gerald Wallace

It's been a distraction for (Alvarado), probably for her constituents and for some of us on council, and I think she stepped up to the plate and did what needed to be done.

Aaron Green

Jose has a fun and lively personality and he's always able to keep things light in serious situations. Plus he's a great competitor. Ivan has stepped up this year and is playing great tennis right now. It will be hard to lose them, but I am excited these guys are playing their best tennis right now.

Brad Pearce

(French) was in control. He stepped up and played the best game of his career so far.

Mike Fabiaschi

We did miss Danny in the second half. He's a very good player, and they're big shoes to fill, but some of the seniors stepped up.

Rashad Baker

I think Washington is assessing now what the best time would be for stepped up engagement. But they'll make that decision in Washington.

Martin Indyk

Maybe we ran out of gas a little bit. A lot of those 19 losses have been just like this. We had a great first half. We were hitting well and getting a lot of good looks. In the second half they stepped it up defensively. The score doesn't represent the closeness of the game.

Todd Radford

The young guys don't understand how hard you have to defend in this league. But give (Bassett) credit. He stepped up.

Paul Swanson

Sullivan is something special. We want to be more than one-dimensional, but in a ball game like that in the rain, we have to go to him and let him go to work. Our offensive line stepped up and made some holes.

Steve Hensley

I feel like the defense really stepped up for us. They played a good game like they always do. We have a very aggressive defense and we are not going to let things get by. Stephanie Willett had a very good game for us. She gave it her all, so they really pulled through for us like always.

Amanda Harding

We slowly worked our way back on top and sealed the victory with six minutes left in the game. Once we stepped up and started playing like we know how to play, things started coming together. CD East's goalie and defense had some great saves. They worked hard to keep the ball out of the cage.

Stacy Poe

They have definitely stepped up. They are consistent. They come through every meet, you know you can count on them.

Carrie Rotondaro

They got out quickly and jumped on us, but we preach defense. That's where everything gets started. Our team defense really stepped up, and that changed the momentum of the whole game.

Spencer Hawes

Coach Dixon made us love the game even more and we played our hearts out every single time we stepped on the court. She showed us how to be winners on the field and off.

Cara Enright

We had a lot of kids who stepped up in the third-place bracket. We had six finish third out of the seven we had wrestling for third. You can't argue with that.

Tom Kuntz

He's really stepped up, giving us a lot of depth at the most important position on the ice.

Chris Stewart

I don't know how to explain it, but the chemistry came as soon as we stepped on the court together. We complement each other.

Noelle Quinn

He stepped up big. He's been really strong for us. He's a slasher, he's athletic and he's long. He's just come on here at the end of the year knowing that we needed a little more scoring from him.

Lance Maha

Unless your dogs started messing with it, or a child stepped on it.

Dave Daigle

Stoop and you'll be stepped on; stand tall and you'll be shot at.

Carlos A. Urbizo

It was big for us. I was glad (Shields) stepped up and knocked the shots down. That's all we ask, that they bring something to the table and play hard.

Mario Little

We were leading going in and could have lost and still won the meet. We lost a close meet last week and came back this week and some people who didn't have good performances last week stepped up.

Mike Bennett

She hasn't been happy her last two outings, she wasn't particularly happy with herself against Michigan State and/or UIC. I thought she really stepped it up. I probably cost her a no-hitter, I went back with a curve ball and probably should have thrown a change-up, I was just trying to get the game over with and that was my fault.

Kerri Blaylock

We have to pull together. We have 12 strong players here. We've all stepped up at some point in the season.

Ashley Davis

We played without three of our starters for a large part of the game. I was very proud of the players who stepped in to fill the void, they did a great job keeping us in it.

Timothy Rippy

This was a great team effort. We really played smart and guys stepped up.

Louis Amundson

Ryan has really stepped up and takes some of the pressure away from the rest of us. She's going to help a lot.

Danielle Jackson

A lot of people stepped up real fast to make it happen.

Matt Parker

There was a lot of team camaraderie and companionship. I really liked how everyone was on the sidelines and screaming. It was an intense meet. It's great for everyone even if they didn't swim any varsity events. Everyone stepped up to the plate. They did as expected or better.

Lesly Hainsworth

One of our pitchers was gone to all-state band camp in San Antonio and she stepped in and did a good job. She hadn't really thrown in a year and a half.

Ken Ferguson

While I was in Kosovo, a 50-year-old man was collecting firewood. He was in a forest (and) he stepped on a cluster bomblet. He was blown to pieces.

Richard Lloyd

Our offense has had to carry us and the hitters have really stepped up. To be able to maintain the pace we've set lately has really been something special. And it's not just one or two guys -- it's everybody we send out there.

Jim Sherman

The sack, it fell on me. Dunta (Robinson) had the sack. (Buffalo quarterback J.P.) Losman stepped up in the pocket, and he didn't see me coming from the back. I wish I could tell you it was a Reggie White move, but it wasn't.

Jason Simmons

They've stepped up big. We don't lose much when the team goes to the bench.

Victor Snyder

[The team] really stepped up their intensity and played intelligently down the stretch. Every win makes us head in the right direction. It's always a good feeling to get a win after you haven't won in a while.

Tom Garrick

Bradford and Napier stepped up for us in the open race and had good performances.

Rod Shurtz

She's really stepped out and become a leader.

Holly Wiles

I think they gave it their all. It was their last game at home, and they stepped up like I knew they would.

Leslie Malone

He's really mature, a lot more mature than most people think. I think every situation he stepped into, he's handled everything very well. I don't see anything changing.

Carlos Boozer

You have to give coach Sherman and their seniors credit. A couple of their veterans stepped up when they had to and that's what you have to do in these kinds of games.

Derek Wright

I just think that the way Walters started, that helped Caleb. Caleb switched on defense to guard him, and he stepped up.

John Steinhilber

I was just happy we won. I couldn't be there, but some other guys stepped up.

Mark Payne

Our defense really stepped up at the end. It made it easier on (coach Roger Walters') heart.

Derek Parker

The rhetoric will be stepped up on trade.

Gary Hufbauer

For a freshman, I didn't think she looked nervous. In my opinion, she was ready for the challenge. I thought she really stepped up.
