We don't take anyone for granted. We just pressured a little more. Listen, we knew it was going to be a dog fight and Barlow was going to be hungry. There's always that revenge factor when you play a team again after getting beaten by a lot.

Paul Dudzinski

You can't compare a Super Bowl crowd, which tends to be more polite and a little more neutral to that. The Super Bowl only has 7,000 to 8,000 fans for each team.

Lamar Hunt

It was really important to me. It would have been my first major league complete game. It didn't happen and I'm upset that the team lost.

Felix Hernandez

We just wanted to give ourselves a chance. What we're more concerned with is 'How do we get better.' We don't have a lot of experience. If you're even going to stay close with a team like this, you have to make shots.

Bill Herrion

Defensively, we return a lot of players, but as far as I'm concerned how we defend as a team is what is going to make or break us. We have a lot of players with individual creativity. The transition from offense to defense is what we're trying to highlight as a priority.

Tony Bauman

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

Joe Wootten

This was a good tournament, regardless of the outcome. This was a team that gave us a precise feedback of where we stand. Leading up to the match I really didn't want it to settle in with the kids that this was a given loss. I think all of us kind of knew it could go either way.

Brian Perry

But I do know that just physiologically, when a team comes to Florida, you're hotter than you've been all training camp because you haven't been practicing in that type of weather consistently.

Kyle Brady

I think they're going to be a good team. They're going to be fast. They're going to make you think.

Jenny Potter

We knew that this team would be a challenge. I knew it would be a battle and I thought we did a good job of weathering the storms and scoring stretches they put up.

Cathy Nixon

Sheldon and Craig were able to get to the lane and get to the free throw line. We shared the ball well offensively as a team and were able to get some easy baskets.

Dave Witzig

Brighton is a good team; I don't have anything against them. I'm so proud to have been a part of this team this year.

Ashley Mcfarland

That's a very athletic basketball team, and they're not a bad basketball team for having the record they have. They're just in a league that's pretty loaded right now. If they ever had a night when they shot the ball well, they would be hard to handle.

Louis Whorton

The investment banking team will be first on the ground, fixed income and equities will be the next phase. We'll do some transfers and we'll hire some people locally.

Charles Alexander

They've shown flashes of what they are about so far, so have we. So the team that best puts its imprint on the game will probably get the points!

Wayne Graham

I didn't think things were going to be as good as they are now. But, we're all coming together now, and it's going to be an even better team next year.

Gerald Nelson

They (Scott City) have a good team. I think they play both fall and spring ball. We were looking for them to play small ball, so we really practiced against the bunt and it showed today.

Tammy Crowley

The kid is impressive. It's kind of a scary feeling that he's actually going to get better, so I'm happy to be on his team.

Carlos Delgado

I was also on the collective bargaining team, the due-process hearing officers, and I wrote a large amount of grants.

Tonna Burgos

I feel so blessed right now. I'm so honored to be on this team with so many great players.

Monica Wright

That (2003) Dallas team kind of reminds me of this Dallas team. It was fun to be a part of. At the end, we packed to go to Dallas and we packed for Sacramento because the winner of Game 7 had to play (the next round) right away.

Damon Stoudamire

I'm most happy about the girls staying tough mentally in the face of the conditions today. They never gave up at any time. Sitting in second place heading into tomorrow's final round is a good position for us to be in. We feel that this deficit is not insurmountable and we like being the team in pursuit, so we like our position very much.

Polly Schulze

There's no question we felt the pressure ? everyone on this team knew what was at stake tonight. And I think it showed a little in the way we played.

Terry Mannor

Fighting back is the sign of an experienced team. We didn't panic when we got down by eight in the second quarter. Instead, we kept playing hard and got a two-point lead by halftime.

Mark Atherton

In a game like that where the conditions are so bad, it's one of the things I fear because if you get a break and score early, it puts a tremendous amount of pressure on the other team.

John Callahan

I hooked up with the junior team and that is where the Brahmas saw me. I was more interested in playing pro than going to college, so that is what led me to Fort Worth.

Adam Davis

It's a good feeling to come in here and play the first two games well. This team has played us very well and given us a battle each and every night. Right now, it's the stretch run, so we need to play every game as hard as we can, leave it all out on the field and have fun out there.

Tom Gordon

We hope (last season's) experience makes the difference. We feel like we're a better team. And we know the ropes a little more this time.

Nic Wise

Playing them will be something we'll look forward to. We have a healthy rivalry, and they're a fun team to play.

Sasha Abraham

It's a much better route through the playoffs if you finish second. It's been a long time since a team around here finished second — it's very exciting.

Joni Vaughan

I don't know if Val was healthy it would have been different. I would like to play that team again because I think we're evenly matched.

Dan Trease

If I've won this (assist title), that would be great but our team achievement was more important.

Billy Hague

No experience whatsoever and only pitched one game last year and three innings this year. She's got a lot of potential. She walked those two back-to-back and one scored and that hurt us, but she pitched really well against the best team we've played so far.

Jodi Morgan

With these new four players, we will have a different team on the field.

Antonio Cue

You know with Chelsea and the players they have that it will be tough, but everyone is looking forward to it. They are the team to beat and people want to play against them.

Robbie Keane

The players that are here from last year and the players that have joined this team are really on a mission. We're not done until that buzzer sounds tomorrow and, hopefully, we're cutting down the nets.

Kevin Love

It seems we have come up to a mental stumbling block. Last year when we won 20 matches consecutively there was a confidence in the team and we did not care what target was we had to aim for or defend. We did it successfully. That confidence has to be regained.

Vincent Barnes

You always want power, but you can pitch around power. I'd rather have a good fundamental team that can steal bases, get the bunt down, hit with runners in scoring position when it's 2-2 in the seventh. I like this team's ability to execute when it matters.

Heather Tarr

There were delays because of weather and other things, but I finally got here. It was a lifelong dream to play in the Olympics, but I'm very excited to be back with my team. It was great to see them again.

Maris Ziedins

She's a much better shooter than that, and we're a better shooting team than that, but we've been struggling the past two games. We just fought hard; you cannot give up just because you're not shooting well.

Clay Cockett

I'm not disappointed in our season. We had a great season. I'm highly disappointed in our effort tonight. We had no energy. If we get beat by a better team, we get beat. But we had no life. It wasn't after that 10-0 run that we started to play hard.

Reggie Kohn

We came back and won the game in the last minutes against a strong team. I think the most important thing was to stay out of the penalty box. They have a great power play. We scored some big goals on the power play and then they scored some on the power play.

Patrik Stefan

Marist just wanted it more. We need to stay hungry. I know this team is not satisfied with 11 wins.

Andre Collins

It was a solid team effort, led by the throwers. They were just steadfast.

Jeff Jodon

This game had a great atmosphere. I'm glad we came out with a win. And I helped the team win.

David Booker

I really feel that Auburn was the best team in the country last year. I wish they had gotten to play USC or Oklahoma. They would have shown they were the best team in the country.

Danny Verdun Wheeler

We want them to understand there are three teams in every sporting event - the two teams that are competing and the officiating team.

Bob Delaney

We had a good run with Hemlock, which is a very improved team, and we had three good games with Garber. We were fortunate to come out on top.

Judd Terwilliger

We're a young team this year, and to accomplish something like this is just great. The kids fought through a lot to get here.

Bob Berceau

Bristol will extend the Emerson product portfolio and leadership in flow measurement products and services, enabling us to offer an even broader range of value, performance, and reliability to our customers. In addition, the Bristol Babcock management team demonstrates excellent leadership, innovation, dedication to quality, and strong company performance...qualities that fit well with Emerson.

John Berra

When Alex settles in and doesn't try to do too much he's a good floor leader for us. He settles in, doesn't get excited, doesn't get rattled and is 100 percent unselfish. He's the kind of kid you like having on your team.

Steve Richey

I have some very good athletes on the team. I'd like to see the guys go five hundred in the conference. That would be a great step for them. If they could go five hundred and then bring all those guys back, that would be a good step for us. We can look at that as a year of progress.

Dave O'neal

I don't stop to think about [there being a new opportunity]. I know I have a chance to make the team. It's like proof for myself to know I can leave with the team to Chicago or go to Triple-A. It all depends on what happens in the last 15 days or so.

Angel Guzman

We have had an awesome year in doubles and are hoping we don't drop the point this whole season. If one team has an off day, we have two others that give our opponents difficult doubles matches.

Catrina Thompson

We threw everything at them, but they're a dominant team and they can come right out of the ashes just like they have in the past.

Darrell Brooks

I'm grateful that the team allowed me back. I'm looking forward to making it up to them.

William Green

It was a good win for our football team. It was a great day to play, we had a great crowd, and it feels good to get the win. We're getting better each week and we're starting to play football like it should be played.

John Nealis

We've swam every school we need to except Blue Springs, so we know going up there we're not the fastest team, but there shouldn't be anyone there that should surprise us.

Dayna Powell

It's disappointing to not get this one in. We ran into a red hot team that's swinging the bats well and they're playing well at home.

Chris Widger

I am very proud of myself and the team that worked with me. I am very proud that I was a part of the new era of Kuwait that saw women participate in elections.

Jenan Bushehri

You take a team with twenty-five assholes and I'll show you a pennant. I'll show you the New York Yankees.

Bill Lee

You don't go to a good team like this team and just walk in as the starter, ... It just doesn't work. I'd rather be going to a 13-3 team than a 3-13 team. You follow me? I've been on enough of those.

Chris Chandler

It is a very beautiful feeling. I feel happy. It is simply dreamy to be part of such a team.

Claudia Pechstein

I never felt like I'd be lost in the shuffle. Coach told me I was an important part of this team.

Ryan Werch

It was obvious he couldn't see clearly when he came out the door, but he raised his firearm quickly and was able to fire one shot in the direction of the SWAT team members.

Scott Dover

D.C. is a deep team and its going to be tough to work my way in, but I will give it my best shot.

Domenic Mediate

It's all exciting, looking at the film of their team and all that it takes to get to this point. But our girls were never nervous. I mean, this atmosphere alone can be very scary. But, they came out here relaxed and dancing. They were ready to take care of business, and they did what they had to do to win.

Darah Huffman

They're a great team and they hit their shots in the end.

Josh Manning

We've come a long way in a short time, ... It's been a total team effort, from the offense to the pitching.

Jackie Moore

We had some big special team blunders. We can't give teams points. If we executed on those plays, they probably don't score.

Mark Welch

This team has a really good offense, but the defense just clicked.

Tyler Bailey

We love our seniors. They're supportive and role models to everyone on the team. We look up to them and follow by their example and they lead us the best they know how. We're going to miss them.

Danielle Kamm

We were playing the first-place team in our division and they were undefeated.

Ricky Ray

This team is excited, ... You play baseball like that. A lot of teams, the Marlins play like that and enjoy the game. This team is the same way.

Livan Hernandez

She did a very good job. They're a very strong 1-on-1 team. They get ball at midfield and drive down hard. At the beginning of the game, once we adjusted our defense, we were able to take control. We had a lot of caused turnovers on [McCormick]. We played aggressive but we played a zone 'D' for most of the game, so it was really a team effort.

Liza Kelly

That adds a whole new dimension to our team. It makes us a complete offense.

Don Byrd

As a senior and a team captain, this one meant a lot to me. (St. Joe) had a lot of kids step up. We didn't have as many. That's what happens in state championship meets.

Owen Black

The team is really gelling. We have some room for improvement, but they are playing as team. We have some injuries, but we should be fine.

Randy Halcomb

We were a real explosive offensive team at times last year, but we weren't as consistent as we need to be. I'm hoping our leadership and experience will make us more consistent, everybody buckling down and being tougher.

Dan Hammerschmidt

We may not have as much offensively gifted talent. But we have more depth up front. As the season progresses we can become an even better team than last year.

Dan Rose

Nobody on this team thought we'd lose tonight. Nobody wanted it to end. I thought for sure we'd win.

James Mogge

We hope the stands will be full of fans who are here cheering our team on.

Dennis Roberts

With each race, a different girl steps up and shows the team that they have the ability to post a (good) finish when they are called upon. I am very confident with the team I have chosen to race in the state finals.

Andrew Dorais

This is a very big win for us, over a very good Ripon team. I think our girls really grew up tonight. I told them to not hang their heads, no matter what Ripon does. Our girls never gave up and they learned they can play in big games.

Skip Laper

We played pretty darn good defense all night long. You hold a team to nearly 20 points under their average, you've got to be doing some things right.

Curt Fredrickson

I've been in these games enough that (a 3-0 lead) after the first against a good team means nothing. Trinity has a lot of firepower. They showed a lot of resilience coming back.

John Malloy

The third quarter was a clinic. To hold the other team to no points, to only have two turnovers and outscore them 14-0, that's a textbook game. The defense was so good. There were several plays where we completely disrupted their offense.

Dawn Seiler

Any way you look at it, these games are really important for all the teams teams. The winner still has a chance, and the loser goes home. We have a lot of talent on this team. We can win.

Leno Rivera

Arthur is a great reporter. I am looking forward to welcoming him to (our) news team.

Karen Scott

If we as a team had to pick a representative it would clearly be Sarah. She is extremely team-oriented and unselfish.

Jim Delmar

I can't say anything negative about Wheeling Park because they played hard. We were the better team. We don't have the best players and we don't have the best coaches but we have the best team possible at Big Red.

Reno Saccoccia

When you play the No.1 team in the state, and they probably are the No. 1 team in the state, and you play them like that, it gives you a lot of good feelings. We had a chance to win this ballgame and just came up a little bit short.

Curtis Higgins

We had a small group last year, with seven kids. This year we have six, but it's a tight-knit group. Some of these kids are inexperienced, so hopefully by the regional tournament we will be able to compete for a team title.

Bob Rosnick

They're the best and deepest team we've faced in Ohio. They have three lines that you have to worry about. You don't win 31 games by accident.

Bill Beard

It came down to who is going to play the big points better. Our girls found a way to elevate their play and do well. I couldn't be more proud of a team than I am of them. They just played really well when it counted the most.

Brennan Brown

They had been doing that the whole game, doubling up on Tracy. A lot of times it's open. But when Tracy gets it going, and he's shooting the ball, he's on fire. But it's always open when guys are double-teaming him like that, so when he's going like that, we try and go get the rebound.

Stromile Swift

We played pretty well against them, but we didn't have any answers for (MWC player of the year) Brandon Heath. They're an unbelievably talented team, a team playing with a lot of confidence. We'll start with Michael Harrison on Heath, and hopefully we can make him take tough shots.

Dale Layer

If we can develop as a team and overcome the challenges of being on the road that much, I think we can hit our stride by the middle of the season and potentially be pretty threatening. But those are a lot of ifs. We need to strive to improve one week at a time and see how good we can become.

Nancy Somera

I am excited to bring someone of Brian's personal and professional caliber to this new position. His commitment to this organization, to this sport, and to this community is special. As our Director of Soccer Development, Brian's responsibilities range from coaching and scouting, to competitive analysis, to serving as our bridge between the team and the front office.

John Ellinger

It's his team and I love being a part of it. I do what I do, which is go out every night and try to do my best. If I'm not scoring I'm doing other things. There's no egos here. All sports are like that. He's the superstar and deservedly so.

Shawn Williams

We showed that we're able to win without Ashley. The guys played great as a team, and this win gives them a lot of confidence.

Gabe Lawson

Our team is working very hard and had a great summer of base building, running every day. Our goal, as it is every year, is to be able to contend for a state championship.

Jayme Skay

The girls played hard today against a good team. We just had some little mental mistakes. I think there was a little intimidation factor too. They are the number one team in the state and a very disciplined team.

Steve Salwei

[She also wants a sixth-year exemption from the NCAA, so she can return to the Lobos.] We have 125 great guys on this team, and I haven't had one single incident, ... That's because of the standard  Coach [Rocky] Long sets here for behavior. There's no b.s.

Katie Hnida

I'm just excited for the team. (Five straight shutouts) is pretty good, to say the least.

Curt Grottenthaler

I think everybody expects a big year out of our running game. We're still going to throw the ball, but our bread and butter is the running game. It always has been, even though we're known as a passing team by some people.

Marvin Philip

Our newest product is called the Chameleon. We marketed the product first to high schools, and now the University of Maine girls' basketball team is using them.

Glen Snow

I'm looking at Texas' athletes. Texas has a great football team. They'll do quite well, I believe.

Nick Aliotti

We settled down and battled hard for the rest of the game. Medford's probably the best team we've faced, and we were pretty competitive.

Rob Kelley

Serves haunted us. You give up 10 points to any team and that's not good. I have to give the kids credit. They stuck in there.

Bruce Udvari

We are one fit team, ... We are one quick team. I don't know if we will be an elite level blocking team but this is the fastest team we've ever had at Florida.

Mary Wise

The guys just tell us to get in front of the line and we lead the team out on the ice. We always did it when I was littler. The coach was like, 'Get up here, you are the first on the ice.' I don't know where it originated, probably a long time ago it happened . . . Maybe it shows that they're behind us. They just wait for us and always make sure we're the first ones to go out there.

Troy Davenport

I think getting that record would mean a lot for our team because it would show how far we've come. I also think going to San Diego and winning the game would set the tone for this team next year.

Lamar Owens

For several years after '95, we had continuity with a core group of players. This day and age, keeping a team together is hard to do, and it keeps getting worse and worse.

Lee Pelekoudas

If we all got together and got on the same team, and it was all about saving dollars, we probably could do it.

Gerald Snowden

We work hard for it. We have a good team, a good technician and we take care of ourselves. That is what helps us to be successful.

Tatjana Huefner

I'd love to continue playing, but these young kids are really knocking on the door. It should be interesting, the turnaround (on the team). We have a lot of girls who are married or thinking of being married or thinking about families.

Vicky Sunohara

The next night our team just wasn't up for the game. We made a lot of bad plays. Robinson had a good little team, but that was a hard loss to take.

Alan Peacock

The church wasn't looking to harm these players, and the players weren't trying to hurt their team. I hate it for these guys. They were all an integral part of the team. For the two seniors, this was their last year.

Jim Tuley

The speed of the game affected us early on. We are used to being quicker than the other team and these guys were as quick as us. That makes you rush...you can miss easy shots that you normally make because at the end they close quickly.

Dean O'connor

We've been talking as a team this whole year about how we really want - and need - a win in the fall. I think we're going to have a few this year.

Ryan Donovan

If we stay healthy, we have a chance to be kind of an exciting football team.

Mike Berg

It's good to beat a good team. This was the first game we've had multiple hits; maybe it will carry over into conference play.

Bruce Rhodes

We learned no team can be taken lightly.

Cassie Cooper

When you looked at Toronto on paper and us on paper, we had maybe two or three position players who could have made their team.

George Brett

That's the part of the game I always hated, ... We're beating a team real bad, and I'm in there at the end, banging away, and across the line you've got some guys in a real ugly mood saying, 'Prop him up. I want the last shot.' That's when you really risk injury --for no reason at all.

John Riggins

It betters us in the long run. If we wrestle those harder teams now and keep building up until the final then we are just getting better as a team. And that's what our goal is - to get better as a team.

Nick Anurak

Ralph Waldo Emerson had this philosophy about be silly, be honest and be kind. I really try to talk to a lot of people about that on the team, and Joy is certainly all those qualities.

Colin Shaha

We have an 'older' club this year. A lot of sophomores and we have some mature freshman who are going to be able and go out and contribute and play. [They will] contribute in a lot of ways to help this team out, to compete to win the Jayhawk West again, compete for the Region VI Final and compete for a national title.

Chris Finnegan

You hit first or second, you know they're going to come at you because they don't want anybody on base when he comes up. If he comes up with runners on base, they want to pitch around him and go after Holliday or myself. Having him in there changes the whole dynamic of the team.

Garrett Atkins

People know that when they're playing for me and for my staff, our team will never give up. They're going to fight. Once we put two halves together, we'll be a good team.

Terri Mitchell

Everyone on that team can score and their post players are much bigger than we are.

Katie Montgomery

It's a matter of experience over talent, and we were very inexperienced. I'm proud of this team. The season was very successful. I have no regrets except we lost this last game.

Tom Thacker

If you look at it, this team went from 9-20 to having almost 30 wins.

John Graf

Oratory Prep is a young team, too, they had plenty of chances too.

Jim Chiariello

The last two years we've been hammered by graduation. It's a brand new team, a fresh start. If we get with the program, hopefully we'll play our best baseball in the second half of the league season.

Jeff Kurtz

Magdalena's a good-shooting team; I'm very proud of our girls. Lots of teams have forced us to beat their press. All I can ask is 100 percent.

Kelly Martin

I am happy that every team is now focusing on improving their fielding. When South Africa went to Australia last year, they dropped 11 catches while Australians dropped just one. Australia beat us 2-0 in the series. If we had held those catches, the story would have been different.

Jonty Rhodes

I was skeptical that Boyd would be able to deliver. Bob has made a major believer out of me. He has proven more than once that he knows how to put together a team.

Dennis Forst

It looked worse than it actually was. I was stunned a bit, but not hurt. It was my mistake; I should have fair caught that ball. But it shows the confidence I have in the return team.

Weston Dressler

We're excited to be teaming with Fox Sports Net Rocky Mountain to bring Crush games to our fans. We are looking forward to a long partnership that we feel will benefit both entities. In addition, we are glad to build on the AFL's already strong national relationship with FSN by working together with Fox Sports Net Rocky Mountain.

John Elway

I know that I will work hard and I will give it my all. I just hope to be a part of a good team. We will win some and of course we will lose some, but I hope we will have the dedication and drive.

Andee Whitaker

Welland is a good team, and we cannot take them for granted. We have to stick to our game and work hard every night.

Paul Macdonald

We had a really great team effort, we made great decisions, and we played great team defense.

Shane Wichers

He's going to be extremely effective for this team, ... All he has to do is show up on that block. His presence alone is enough for this team.

Alonzo Mourning

I think it's a stronger team this way, given exactly where Sun is today.

James Barksdale

I'm such a fan. It's terrific fun to watch these kids; I had a number of them on my 1990 team. It's fun to see how far it's all come and how well the young kids play.

Kathy Whitworth

We jumped on 'em early by hitting the ball extremely well in the early innings. They are a young team, but so are we. We're growing up more with every game.

Andy Owens

We've barely had enough to go five-on-five, but we're ready to be aggressive and do whatever it takes to win. We've beaten tough teams this season. We know how to double-team and help each other out. We just have to be focused and work hard.

Katie Montgomery

This was a very good Harlan team we beat tonight. The game was billed as two of the best teams in western Iowa, and nobody went home disappointed.

Don Lyons

It will be great to have him in the secondary. It would be nice to have a 240-pound safety on our team out there knocking heads off. That's what I hope he will do because that would really help our defense.

Marcus Mcclinton

It's an important game for us. We lost a road game and we've got a home game against a team that's certainly a playoff contender. We make them one step closer to (the Region V Tournament in) Lubbock if they win.

Dennis Helms

I am just so proud of our team. The chemistry we have is awesome and we knew that would be a big advantage for us.

Taylor Richardson

Right now, we're about the same as last year's team. I think we can do well if we play some defense.

Adam Kitowski

Odell has offensive skills but Don and Sonny must control the boards so that he [Bradley] can be an asset to this team.

Tim Cone

In too many games we played five or six innings of great baseball and then just cruised through the ninth. To be the dominant team we want to be we need to keep the pressure on our opponents every inning.

Corey Gleason

We brought a very competitive team and thought we could win. People didn't take us seriously in the seeding meeting. I think our effort will gain respect for our program.

Juan Arroyo

We are disappointed with the loss, but we have some much to look forward to next year. We had to do a lot of growing up as a team and we had to mature quickly. The experience our freshmen got this season will be very valuable for next year.

Liz Biland

The mayor has a great working relationship with both senators, ... They're a great team in Washington, and he looks forward to continuing to work with them.

Stu Loeser

It was a broken play on the blue line. The guy just got a breakaway and I couldn't stop it. I should have stopped it, but unfortunately my mistake cost our team the win.

Hannu Toivonen

I'll be 38 in October and it'll be a good time to call it a day at the end of the season, ... If the team go up then I'll be too old to play in the Premiership. With my role, you can't do that forever.

Paul Ince

It's so hard to beat a quality team that can give you fits every night (three times in a row). The kids were totally focused.

Dustin Lanz

Our league is pretty deep. Everybody's got a good team. Everybody plays hard. It comes down to who plays the hardest.

Kerwin Forges

We're not going to be able to run the ball on every team. We're not going to be able to do that, ... We've got to establish a passing game, and I feel like once we do that, then this team might be unstoppable.

Adrian Peterson

James Gorman and Morgan Stanley ( MS ) have complied fully with all relevant obligations with Merrill Lynch ( MER ). It's a testament to James's leadership that people who have worked with him in the past are eager now to join his new team.

Andrea Slattery

I want to spend time with my fans. This team made a big commitment to sign me here. I have to return that. I have to be here. I have to spend time with my teammates, with the fans, with all you guys. I need to do that. Detroit has a lot of good fans.

Magglio Ordonez

They've been playing great. It was good for us. That win shows a lot about our team.

Raffi Torres

We're frustrated and a little bit disappointed that we didn't have a more active role. The Missouri team is our team. This is our family.

Gary Link

We're used to being there. But this team is something new. I'm proud of the girls.

Sharlene Ferguson

I really don't trust Benson. He's got the sweetest deal in the NFL (the Saints are the only NFL team to regularly receive subsidies from their home state) and he's still always asking for more money.

Allen Rivers

I can't ask them to play much harder than they do. We had a good physical effort but we're still making mistakes. We're just not the type of team who can take a trip off.

Frank Steidler

It's very frustrating. I had been really looking forward to this tour. But my disappointment is tempered by the knowledge that it is nothing major. If it had been a one-day series, I would have played, but I couldn't go into a test and possibly let my team down.

Shane Bond

He is a guy that the other team must know where he is all the time. Sharper shoots the ball that well. He is a great spark for us. He works on his game all the time.

Brandon Heath

Nobody blamed Ron. We did that as a team.

Jermaine O'neal

We had a great all-around team effort. We're glad to be playing basketball for at least another week.

Shay Hayes

There's really no panicking on this team. Especially with our guards. They're very poised under pressure. Being down six at the beginning of the game is nothing.

Bobby Buffaloe

I am really excited about league play and think we have a shot at the playoffs. The girls know their roles and really have come together as a team.

James Todd

I don't think our confidence should have dropped, but it has because of the way we've been beaten on the road. We're a good team, and a great team here in Assembly Hall. It's going to be a war.

Sean Kline

Everybody on that team played well today. When you shoot 55 percent from the field, like they did, it's going to be tough.

Turner Trofholz

She said between bites. ''I'd only play on his team.

Phil Laak

(In San Antonio), I knew what I was getting into from a team standpoint, from a coaching standpoint.

Michael Finley

This varsity team has a lot of potential. We just need the right attitude.

Holly Hatton

This was the best that we've worked the ball as a team all year.

Brad Chasteen

I've said all along this team is going to be very young, very inexperienced but very talented. This team is going to need patience from myself, from the fans and from the media.

Tod Kowalczyk

We are very pleased to add another big strong defenseman that will bring leadership and experience to our team. Chad played 79 games last season making him a reliable horse for the upcoming year.

Bryan Maxwell

I think it tests the strength of individuals, ... It's an odd form of playing. I think it stretches people. They see it as being an old-fashioned form of golf that should be scrubbed out and it should all be best ball, but I don't agree. Foursomes golf, I think, gives a nice balance to how the team end of it runs.

Tony Jacklin

She manages to do something in almost every aspect of the field. It's always very positive and beneficial to the team.

Jen Kasel

I'm really happy with the way we're playing. We're playing well as a team on offense, and teams are having a tough time scoring against us.

Paul Wiedeman

We certainly expected him to do well with him being a district placer last year. It was an important step in his progression, to be able to work his way through the different levels of competition like he did and to be able to perform as well as he did. It was a good step in the right direction for us as a team and for Antonio individually.

John Riggs

Almost one-half of our salaried team is here today.

Paul Morse

This is the best team by far we've seen.

Mike Gray

Up until the second quarter, we had not been a very good team in our three league games.

Rick Soracco

I'm not going to say they would do everything they can not to put me on the team, but I knew they wanted (Sierra).

Terry Tiffee

You have to have the mindset that your teammates look to you to lead them. Therefore, you don't have to score all the points, but you have to get the rest of the players involved and just keep their confidence up. Everybody is on the team for a reason.

Marlon King

We learned to feed off each other even more this season than last. Her moving up top just made my job easier and our team better.

Annie Stalzer

If you try hard enough, you can keep teams below their average. ... If we're going to be a winning team, we've got to rely on our defense because our offense isn't going to do it.

Dorothy Gaters

Tomorrow really depends on the weather. They are getting a lot of snow, but the men's team is in great shape and we should be on top if we ski the way I know we can.

Jaka Korencan

That's a sign of a good team. They came right back and answered us.

Tom Mihalovich

Coming into the game all the focus was on Day and Diana, they were the ones that had to be stopped. Jeana and I tried to get open. Everyone on the team just had to step up. I'm happy in the second half my shots proved vital.

Danielle Perrault

I thought we had them on the ropes in the first half, but basketball is four quarters. We are a young team and just don't have the depth to match them right now.

Wayne Burnette
