The players get no respect around here. They give you money, that's it, not respect. We get constantly dogged and players from other teams love to see that. That's why nobody wants to play here.
Don Mattingly
There's such a cluster in the middle (of the standings) with teams jockeying for position for that conference tournament. We're going to do the best we can to get our kids ready to compete every night.
Robin Pingeton
(Pre-draft trades) do happen from time to time, like Denver and San Francisco. But a lot of the reasons teams don't do picks for picks before the draft is because you want to go on the clock. You want to see if anyone calls during your allotted time because you might get a better deal.
Rick Spielman
When you get to this time of the year, teams are here for a reason. Playing well at the right time is all that matters.
Shane Sisco
Our results have been worthy of an 'A,' but our effort has been on the 'C' level. We've jumped out to big leads, then other teams back in.
Carl Jacobs
I think we did a better job of executing our offense. We felt they were going to make a run; all good teams do that. Our job was to be sure we did not lose the lead totally.
Marvin Neals
We struggled in the first half of the season. The complaint about the SCIL Festival is that the same teams just play each other again but it keeps all the teams motivated. At the end of the year you can still upset a team that beat you twice.
John Davey
Gerry is a marked man. He gets face-guarded, he gets hit. That guy has to go through so much. Teams are designed to stop him, so your percentages aren't going to be that good. Gerry doesn't go to the foul line, so he gets his points off made baskets. If Gerry went to the foul line 10 times a game, what would he average?
Mike Hopkins
This year's NRMCA Award is another outstanding example of our management team's commitment to raise the environmental standards at CEMEX. The Navigation facility is our highest production plant in Texas, and is surrounded by water, which makes this award that much more significant in light of the technical challenges continuously confronted at this site. We are very proud of our team.
Steve Wise
There are a lot of similarities to both teams, and I really think it's going to come down to who wants it the most and who works the hardest.
Marty Williamson
Overall it was a hard-fought game for 80 minutes by both teams.
Jill Bigelow
We received offers from a number of teams, and we're in the process of going through deal points as to Carlos' future contract.
Scott Boras
I didn't sign three years ago (with the Rangers) because I enjoy statistics. I enjoy winning, ... You sacrifice statistics for the team. Those things brought me success. The biggest factors were the way the coach coaches the team and the way his teams play and that was good enough for me.
Bobby Holik
Scheduling is the toughest part of the job. Some establishments have six teams.
Steve Wehrle
I think we need a bit more effort. Well, I know we need a bit more effort out there. I think that (the Wings) had some bounces that we didn't have. … They had some good bounces, but we've got to put a bit more effort out there to have a shot to beat one of those teams, one of the top three or four (squads) in the league.
Guy Dupuis
We will always have people that think that stats are everything. Truth is, our defense and special teams give us the ball in great field position, so our offense doesn't have to take it far to score. We have a lot of weapons and it's tough to get them all involved.
Weldon Nelms
This is probably the strongest schedule we ever played. We had that stretch with Carolina, DePaul and Michigan State, then played LSU and opened on the road at Pitt. So we've played some quality teams.
Jose Fernandez
We talked all week about having the instinct needed to put teams away but sure didn't show it tonight. We get up big and then seem to give our momentum and it just kind of snowballs.
Joe Aiello
It was a well-played game between two very good teams. Both pitchers dominated, which is to be expected. They managed to get a walk and a runner in scoring position, then a passed ball to win the game.
Charles Vidrine
I don't feel the league is going to break the union. People talk about the (proposed) WHA being competition for the NHL. They should be talking about the Russian Super League because that's going to be the NHL's biggest competitor. Those teams in Russia are offering big money.
Allan Walsh
We believe that we're really in danger of losing at least two or three teams. And this is the whole purpose of this bill being started in the House and Senate.
Larry Pendleton
I think it would be good for the sport. Three cars is a good number. I told (former NASCAR president) Bill France many, many years ago that one of our biggest concerns is when a group of car owners has five teams, six teams, all of a sudden you only have five or six car owners.
Richard Childress
We've been up and down all year. We've played some really good teams and it was good to get some consistency.
Terry Miller
I think guys are taking pride in the notion we can play and compete with some of these teams, so why not? Why end and just mail in the season? Go as hard as you can and mess things up at the top of the standings a little bit while you`re in the process.
Joe Borowski
Their whole defense is fast and they get to the ball. They are right up there with Miami and Penn State among the teams we played. When we had our chances to capitalize, we didn't.
Pat Julmiste
They have to make themselves and each other accountable for the team's success. I think they are making good progress there, but it's a lot for young people to take on.
Keith Cieplicki
They're basically teams of firms.
Barbara Brewer
This used to be a place where teams feared to come in and as soon as they took the floor they felt like they weren't going to win. We've lost that the last couple of years so that's a disappointing thing.
Robert Corn
We want to earn our respect back from teams. Because we haven?t been too respectable in the past.
Kenny Riley
People don't realize how tiring it is to play that long on the penalty kill. We really needed this win and it was nice to see our special teams come up big for us.
Shaun Heshka
I learned a big lesson that night. I?m really quick to call timeouts when teams go on runs now.
John Cofman
We approached it like any other game. They're like teams in the Missouri Valley. They're big-name schools, but we've beaten teams in the same fashion.
Sean Ogirri
Lindsey is a tremendous spark for us, and that was one of the reasons I felt comfortable with her in the lead-off slot. It's not in our team's character to go out and take the first pitch. I tell them to come out swinging, so I wasn't surprised when she swung at strike one. She came back and sent the next pitch sailing.
Tim Walton
The Wood Brothers' car and ours are the only one-car teams in the top 25 (in points), and I'm very confident that we'll be able to stay there. It's not about how many cars you field that determines where you'll finish, it's how well prepared each of those cars are, and I believe we're as well prepared as most.
Robby Gordon
It was just two great teams out there going at it toe to toe. The game could have gone either way, but the girls made some big plays in the last four minutes of the game.
Gary Glasscock
The answer makes me sick. But here it is, and it's just like it's supposed to be: You've got the best football teams (in the playoffs), and if you want to make it through, you've got to be the best one.
Larry Coyer
To come into a Christmas tournament and not work on something would be crazy. I thought we did a pretty good job at addressing the things we needed to address, and the kids played pretty well against a lot of good teams.
Rick Brault
This was a competitive game. Both teams wanted it and played hard, and they were fortunate enough to get there.
David Camic
It's an honor to be a part of arguably the best and biggest high school football event ever put together in the country. Nine of the teams either won state championships or sectional titles last year. There are going to be some great teams there.
Barry Norton
We have a young team and a lot to prove. It's a good test for us to play the best teams in the American League.
Mark Hendrickson
It doesn't surprise me that our teams have gone this far. For us, this goes much deeper than just being a coach at our alma mater. This is something special.
Necole Tunsil
It started out with a workshop for the baseball and softball teams. It was just for the Troy Athens teams. Afterwards they went into an assembly.
Tim Mcavoy
We've played two really good teams, but we played really well in both games, especially on defense. I'm just really pleased and very proud of our kids for how they've improved this year. From top to bottom, the girls have improved in every game they played.
Chris Sumrall
We just have to come out and play. This is the time of the year that teams have to step up.
Carolyn Jackson
I don't think there is anybody who can guard her one-on-one. Teams have to collapse on her when she gets the ball in her hands.
Randy Wright
They have one of the most physical teams in the nation. On the other hand, we have one of the fastest teams in the nation.
Scott Jacko
If we can beat some teams going to the playoffs, we could probably throw some mud in the water.
Jacque Jones
This game happens in spurts. One team is going to make a run and the other comes back. I actually talked with them and got them adjusted to that. You know we'll come out wide open, and you know their team's going to make a run. But we've just got to settle down and maintain the lead.
Mike Gainey
The big thing for me right now is to get organized. Tryouts are Monday and I probably know four or five of the kids' names. I've been used to coaching club teams that had the best players in Utah and playing against the top players in the country, so it will be a little bit of a change to coach kids from different ages from freshman to seniors with different abilities. I'm excited about it.
Mark Graham
There's two teams left playing and we're one of them. That's been our goal all season and it feels fantastic. We're very proud of these guys because they believed in themselves.
Luke Reilly
St. Edward made the mistake of pressing us. The greatest thing about that team was they had to play on our terms. With Stephanie and Amanda their quickness just was too much for teams. They were able to play the game more quickly than our opponents were. If you go back to our game film, they played more quickly. It was just three notches above what other teams were able to play.
Scott Thomas
We didn't deserve to win. We came in with a poor attitude. We didn't play hard. We hung our heads when things went bad. That's not what championship teams do.
Lindsay Bemis
Three hundred teams started the season, and we're in the final four. Our goal is to get to 8 o'clock (tonight).
Dale Easley
We knew coming in that there were four teams that were going to battle for it, and who ever didn't make it would be a team that could do something in the playoffs.
Tony Rossi
We took second place out of 14 teams without an all-conference player. We are very solid 1-4 and each of the guys is always around 40.
Brad Rogers
It was great to finally get it, because I heard most of the guys already got it who were on other teams, and I didn't know when I was going to get it. The (general manager) asked to see me after the game, so I just went, and he gave me my stuff. It was nice. It's pretty precious, and it's going to look good on my fireplace.
Andre Roy
The game can always be analyzed a lot of different ways if you want to go to stat sheets and particular plays. But I thought both teams played really hard and caused the other to look bad at times. Both teams caused each other's low percentage. What you got, you earned.
Blaine Taylor
We jumped out well in the first half. We need to learn how to finish games and not allow teams to come back on us.
Jeff Gress
If I look at my kids, they haven't been as successful in (league play) as last year's team. We have a lot to prove. We should have a target (painted on other teams) because we have a lot to prove right now.
Karen Friel
We wrestled at 11 o'clock, 1 o'clock and 3 o'clock, and they were all tough teams. We had a good day. Our kids wrestled tough.
Bobby Deberry
I've been coaching baseball and softball for 15 years, and I have never had a player like Caitlin who just understands the game. She understands what it takes to be successful, you can't teach that. You can only hope other kids will feed off that. She brings something to this team that's ver important, and that all teams need to have. She's a special player.
Tony Pina
Maybe in five years. You wouldn't be able to have very many teams.
Tim Chocklett
It's really hard to win a double header. I hate double headers, because it equalizes both team's opportunity to win, [but] I felt really good about us playing this week.
Danny Price
We've probably been at our best offensively when we've got in the flow and (we're) changing personnel and teams try to sub with us. It allows you to flow more with different personnel. I think the more weapons we've got, the more we like it.
Tom Rossley
They can shoot the 3. I've seen teams shoot the 3 before, but they really like to shoot it.
Thomas Boykin
Whoever wants to know the heart and mind of America had better learn baseball, the rules and realities of the game and do it by watching first some high-school or small-town teams.
Jacques Barzun
When you do that, good teams will punish you.
Richard Whitelaw
I think this game is going to help us a lot as we go into the latter part of our season. We've been getting a little better each game. We're not too far behind some of the better teams in our league. Maybe we can catch them if we continue to work hard and keep on fighting.
Troy Phillips
I don't think you can think that way. The only thing we can control is to win. If we don't win, we're at the mercy of other teams losing or favorites winning (across the country).
Scott Trost
Here lately, we've played teams where our pressure and not letting (opposing) players get comfortable has been really important.
Sean Williamson
It's always hard to change teams. It's a different atmosphere and everything. There are great guys on the Albany team and New Jersey, also. I'm kind of a little bit disappointed, but what are you going to do?
Aleksander Suglobov
I think the tight end position is probably one of the risky positions in terms of the durability, but that's given the fact of what they're asked to do. It's very hard, very hard to find the perfect tight end and durability is a problem throughout the league. Not just with our team, but a lot of teams.
Jerry Angelo
I am surprised they left us in a six-team district with four teams in the playoffs. I'm pleased too, because I've got a good schedule.
Craig Yenzer
I don't have a crystal ball. Eric's a tremendous talent. Good teams pay their players and he's under contract, but I have no control over it.
Harry Henderson
The schedule is set up for singles or doubles to compete against highly ranked teams in the nation.
John Severance
It was a good game between two good teams. (Matt) Miller threw really well for his first start.
Derrick Landrus
We're still in good shape in the Big East, we just can't keep dropping points. [Saturday] we dropped critical points. Both teams knew it was a six-pointer. It's a major blow to us. Its something we're going to have to fight back from.
Bob Reasso
We will be doing the normal league games as well as something new this year. We will be going to Brewton to compete against their area teams and it should be a fun time.
Ross Terry
I believe in shooting for the moon. We had a Taiwan team here, but I'd like to have something like the World Baseball Classic and have teams from places like Korea and the Caribbean come here to play.
Dave Ploof
I think the success (the conference) has had in tournaments the last couple of years has helped. The Division 3 teams and Division 4 teams have had success. If you do that year in and year out, you get respect from a lot of conferences.
Don Moreland
Her mental toughness in games has improved. She's also learned to make a couple of extra moves to free herself from double teams. And she runs the floor pretty well.
Beth Bayly
The experience that night was fantastic. I think that's where most of my enthusiasm comes from. It was an amazing atmosphere that they created there. We had the benefit of having the L.A. Galaxy against one of the bigger Mexican teams, so there was a large Hispanic crowd, but the point there is they are passionate about soccer. The fans are there; I know they are there because I've seen it.
Craig Waibel
We have some say. Florida State, that's not a normal situation. That was added late in the process. Clemson fell as it fell with the 12th member of the league coming in. We and other teams were caught in a hard spot. It's not anything the league did to punish us.
Larry Coker
It's something you look forward to every year — playing different teams and playing different leagues to see how you compare.
Brad Wilkerson
The players still are trying to improve in all areas of their games. Everyone is capable of lowering their scores by as many as six or eight strokes a round. Hopefully, they can all do that at the same time and, maybe then, we can start challenging the top teams we face throughout the season.
Kevin Moen
That's the best part about it. There aren't a lot of eighth-grade teams that get to play out there. Playing at Grande in junior high will definitely get you ready to play there on Fridays.
Bobby Alvarez
Any of the East teams could surprise the field.
Frank Baumholtz
I think he came into this season as someone who flew under the radar. That certainly wasn't the case with us, but I think it was with opposing teams. He's had some nagging injuries during his career that haven't always allowed his talent to come through. This year he's built himself up and the injuries have stayed away.
Dave Sellon
We played with our hats on, just intelligent basketball. We don't beat teams with our talent. You've got to play with your brains and when we do that, we can play with anybody.
Jim Harrison
He was the fullback on our state (championship) team. He'd be the tailback for 90 percent of the teams in the state. He's the same size (6-0, 210), and he runs very well. We'll see how he runs at tailback.
John Weber
We played as well as we could play in the first half. I said to this team at halftime this is really about us going out and playing a better second half. Forget about the score and try to put it away and not let teams make runs on you like they have.
Matt Brady
I know every football coach in the state wants to see where his team's at.
Mark Bloom
In the past, we have had street teams giving out show premiere DVDs and things like that, but this is the first time we are doing these big-scale events.
George Schweitzer
At this stage all of the teams are capable of beating one another.
Steve Mcmahon
It's a long year. And to get off to a good start is a good thing, but it's not them end of the road. We need to continue on a do the things we are good at and we'll be OK. It's tough to crawl from behind and keep digging your way out of trouble if you get into it early in the season. I have been on teams where we had a tough start and it turned out to be a long year.
Kerry Zavagnin
I think it says a lot about our team. We're learning how to maintain our leads, and when other teams go on their runs we're really stopping them before we get into a hole.
Ashley Boehnel
It's always beneficial to have numbers in a track meet. The boys and girls teams each have the maximum number of relay teams, so we hope our depth pays off and we improve over last year.
John Mcnally
It is a world of difference. They gave Tabb something I don't ever remember Tabb having. They were more physical than a lot of teams.
Scott Joyner
Last night was very physical, but there were hard fouls from (both teams). We're not looking past any of the teams we're playing right now, but if we do play Bolivar again you know it's going to be a pretty good game.
Dexter Williams
Even though we've only played each other once, both teams know each other well. Both teams return most of their starters from last year. Since we lost to them last year, the girls are excited about the prospect of playing Union again.
Teri Cruse
April Fool's Day is nine days late, It's normal to contact teams before the draft. Everybody in the league does it at this time. Teams are giving out false smoke signals all the time.
Vinny Cerrato
I love basketball and look forward to competing again at the sport that I hold so dear, ... Interested NBA teams want assurances that I am completely recovered and that I am able to deal with rigors of daily competition. The very competitive CBA will provide me this opportunity.
Jayson Williams
When teams bang him around like they did tonight, it's surprising. But everyone's allowed a speed bump every once in a while.
Bob Brenly
Just a walk right now would mean a lot. And it would change the way the other teams pitch to everybody else. I just can't wait to see him back. I think it will be huge.
Omar Vizquel
We looked at this team and where we were and knew it was time to rebuild. We were the sixth oldest team in the league. We needed youth, enthusiasm and potential ... I've been involved with teams like this a few times. We did it in Milwaukee. We did it in Cleveland. We can do it here.
Wayne Embry
There were only two undefeated teams in this tournament and we drew the bracket that we were going to have to go through both of those if we wanted to stay on the winner's side of it. We'll do what we always do. Show up, strap our boots on and give it our best effort.
Joe Kiefer
We play a little bit of a different style than most teams. If we can get things together at the end, I think we can do pretty well.
Harry Perretta
We battled back against one of the better teams in the state. Tonight proved we can play against anyone. This is a good momentum builder for us for the regional.
Brodie Flaherty
Certainly, Syracuse is in the middle of a very difficult five-game stretch, no question about that. There are certainly scheduling challenges with 16 teams. We're the largest league in the country, and that makes scheduling difficult.
John Paquette
We play in a very tough league and although we have come a long way, can't afford this type of performance against teams in our league. So now we'll really see just how much we have progressed and who we can count on against much better competition.
Joe Aiello
These two teams match up well. I expected this type of game all the way through. We were just a couple of possessions away. We just couldn't get that one basket. They hit their free throws at the end, which did it.
Chad Allan
Both teams are fighting through some early season training injuries and hope to be back to full strength after Easter break.
Hank Hoffman
At times, they almost look like two different teams, in some respects. Obviously, they throw the ball and run the spread a little more than other teams and their quarterback is the mainstay of their offense. They pose problems because they do a variety of things.
Dan Kratzer
They wanted to try this. The idea [had been] to make the teams more even, since there are more schools in New Castle County. I think this is a good way to go and I'm hoping it has that effect with the fans' interest. I think they'd rather root for one team with all of their players.
Bob Lennon
That's two teams going at it. Just seeing guys go about it for 18 solid innings, and not give up one at-bat, not one pitch, it's pretty amazing.
Joey Devine
Since we are beginning our season in our first year, we didn't get to have spring practice like all the other teams do. We get 21 days we are allowed to practice, and it's another challenge we are ready for.
Bobby Poss
The first day of class this fall, I broke the students into teams of five and asked them to provide me with four or five tax credits that are currently not in the Internal Revenue Code but would be excellent additions. I ask each group to not only come up with new tax credits, but explain the social, economic or political reason for why the tax credit should be enacted by Congress.
James Wittenbach
I thought it was a really good defensive effort. It was a very well-played game by both teams.
Keith Kramme
We did the pink nails to psyche the other teams out. I guess it has worked. We have gotten this far with it.
Katie Donnellan
We're not as disciplined on either offense or defense as I think we should be. In key spots against good teams, that hurts us.
Dave Bosso
We ask the kids, what's your job? What's your role? What are you trying to do? The girls are buying into that. Every game our defenders know who they have and what they are going to do and how we need to play them. When our midfielders play certain teams they know exactly what they need to do. ... We just talk about who on our team can make plays and how can we get (the ball) to them.
Jeff Day
This is a really good field with a lot of regional schools and a couple big teams. This is a great chance to see some of the MAC schools that we have not seen yet. It is always important to make a good first impression with conference opponents and we have done that so far, going 2-1 against the MAC.
Donnie Darr
We went against one of the best teams we've faced all year, and played one of the best games we've played in many years.
Al Aldridge
You don't want to talk about next year because there is still a lot of this year left. We are growing. We are a long ways ahead of where we were last year. We just need to have that final step and beat one of those teams that is ahead of us.
Bob Marquardt
Malden had some games where they scored over 54 points. But no two teams ever scored over 50. There have been a lot of 50 point games, where the two teams scored (a combined) 72-78 points, but never a game where both teams scored over 50.
Peter Carroll
We've played a number of really strong teams recently and our performances have been pretty mixed, up and down the ladder. I don't think we've had a match yet where we've put it all together.
Jack Wyant
There was a bunch of hype around the game. A lot of people thought there was going to be a lot of drama, but we just came out, just two teams and just played a normal game.
Blaine Stewart
We really loaded up the relay teams.
Donna Cerrato
This team has so much heart and so much character. We're down - what was it? - 19-12 at one point, down seven. A lot of teams could have made a mistake and folded.
Todd Wetjen
It's going to be crazy. All eight teams here are good teams. Hopefully the atmosphere will be great because it's going to be great basketball.
Chris Kraus
Both teams are good. This was a good local game. It's a good rivalry.
Terry Piazza
Plan A right now, if it's just seven teams, is for each team to play the other conference teams three times.
Thomas Howell
I think this is the hardest day of basketball in the nation. We're expected to play two teams that are well coached, two teams that are very good, in the same day with what, three to four hours rest? To get through today was a major obstacle course.
Jack Keefer
Erika obviously was the player we relied on heavily and it was just amazing to see how she played. Teams knew that to stop us they had to stop her and it was just phenomenal how she played under those conditions.
Joe Berezwick
Faith has numbers and good athletes. Timber Lake and McIntosh will also put together good teams.
Wally Stephens
When you talk about basketball in northwest Ohio, in Putnam County . . . I imagine it?s a lot like Indiana high-school basketball. I don?t know if you could find many counties in Ohio that have had six teams make it to the state finals in any sport.
Troy Schwemley
She's just been so consistent, and that's remarkable because teams obviously want to stop her. She's the first person you think of when you talk about AIC, and for her to keep doing it is a credit to her.
Jen Niebling
A lot of pro teams like to play their exhibitions in various places. The NBA likes to go to different places, sometimes college campuses (where their players were popular).
Larry Keating
Big Walnut and Watkins Memorial are looking solid. They're all pretty good teams in this division. We won last year, and we have a majority of the team back this year. It is looking promising. We have juniors and seniors back that bring a lot of experience and leadership.
Brad Harris
Lacrosse is also played by girls, and we haven't headed down that road yet but we certainly wouldn't turn away if there was interest. We just kind of got things going with the boys' teams. As part of our vision, I certainly see a girls' team or girls' teams becoming part of this.
Andy Shoop
We were able to weather their storm when they made a run at us in Pullman. We need to focus on rebounding, because they're one of the best rebounding teams in the Pac-10.
Karen Vickery
Almost everything is done. Most teams have gotten them (new homes).
Roger Noll
It was dramatic. The big thing you look for on special teams is changing field position. When your team is struggling, a big play in the kicking game can give your team a spark. We didn't get enough of that last year.
Dave Arnold
This is a real tough league with a lot of good football teams. We love being in this league. It's a lot of fun to go to some of these smaller towns where football is very important.
Rob Kittrell
We are very keen to know about ourselves and understanding our own players rather than worry about the opponents. This is a thing which a lot other teams ignore.
Stephen Fleming
St. Catherine's is a very good team and Bob is a great coach. As we've seen this season, they can give most Division 1 teams in the state a run.
Lance Marifke
This was a good area for boxing. A lot of these towns would have teams. It was the thing to do.
Weldon Benton
When I heard the Tour was going to go towards having trade teams here, I said to (team director) Danny (van Haute), `Let's try to get a team together',.
Ben Brooks
We just didn't take care of business. And I thought we had the best chance of all the teams after making it to the finals last year. This year was just a different season. Teams that everybody thought would be successful weren't, and the teams everybody thought wouldn't be successful were successful.
Ryan Daniels
Last season, we basically put a lot of pressure on ourselves. One year later, it?s nice to be back in this position, playing well against the best teams in the county.
Champ Atlee
The biggest strength so far has been our singles play. But our doubles teams are learning to compete better with each match.
Matt Rutherford
We lost some people. They lost some people. When you get to this point and the teams are so evenly matched, sometimes that's all it is. We probably made just one more play than they did.
Paul Brutto
It's a great opportunity for a non-starter to make a traveling team, ... We have a strong safety type kid who struggles to be a starter, but he starts on every special teams unit because he makes plays.
Dave Murray
We want to have so many teams that we have to move to other places than just Old Fort. If people want to play for fun, they can play in one league. Everyone who wants to win, win, win and show their skills can play in a competitive league. We're trying to get as many women as possible.
Sparkle Thomas
We take it one game at a time, but we're looking down the road, too. This time of the year most teams are. That's something we have as a goal, to play beyond the regular season.
Gary Crane
I see ourselves as one of the top teams in either division. We should be in the mix.
Gregg Johns
These girls can score. Other teams have problems catching up with our foot speed and it was hard for Crookston to defend us when we have more than one player contributing.
Jessica Bina
There are certainly more teams that are in the pool for consideration than any year I've been involved, ... I'm sure given some of the upsets and the things that have gone on already this year, there will be many people who are making a case for themselves that they should be in the tournament field where they might have been left out in the past.

Our first couple of years we were really, really strong. We could have competed on the NCAA Division III level and even the Division II level. The past few years we've gone down a bit, even though by club standards we still had really good teams. But when we tried to sep up against some of the NCAA II, III and NAIA teams, we did not fare as well.
David Hilton
The results didn't show it, but our kids played well the last few games. We just ran into some hot shooting teams. Manchester (Essex) shot the ball well, and played a great game. They deserved to win. Our team just needs to regroup and prepare for the tournament. We'll be fine.
Steve O'connor
The teams came out of last year's event feeling this was a very positive step for NASCAR and I think that shows by the starting grid. Teams vote by their attendance, and I think it's clear by the group you're going to have that they believe in this event.
Robbie Weiss
There have been discussions about the Big Ten being down, and my reaction was, ?I don't think we're down,? ... I don't think we have a Kentucky or an Arizona in our league. But I'd rather have quality depth than shallow depth in one or two good teams. And I think that's what we have.
Jim Delany
There's always going to be some tough bounces that are going to decide the games, and in the playoffs all the teams are good. We feel confident that we'll have our best effort.
Nils Ekman
It was definitely a solid day for both teams.
Gary Towne
There are two teams out there. There were a couple they could have called on our side. It's a little frustrating the way we played, but a little frustrating the way we were played.
Steve Montador
We try to get different teams every year. The goal of the tournament is to put teams together that don't see each other. Geographically, they're all over, so it's pretty exciting.
Bob Anniballi
That's the way our schedule works. We felt like we'd play five of the six best teams on our schedule the first half of the season.
Aaron Nelson
MTSU brings a different style of play. They are taller than most teams we play so we have to adjust the timing on our block and we need to overemphasize for their height when we attack. If we attack at the same height we usually do, it isn't going to be pretty.
Corey Carlin
He's confident in his ability to score, but he's willing to pass. I wouldn't be surprised if he's a captain of future teams.
Tim Conroy
Both teams had chances in the first half and it could have gone either way. It was very typical of a cup match. But after we got the first goal, we started to play better and the chances started coming. In the end we deserved to win.
Guido Buchwald
That's just the love here in St. Louis. They're just crazy about their teams.
Anthony Hargrove
I hated special teams in junior college, but up here, I actually like it. I learned to step it up a notch on defense and special teams. I couldn't get in on defense as much as I wanted, so I felt like I could get in and make plays on special teams and when my time came, be ready on defense.
Jonathan Wilhite
There were questions about whether we would postpone the game, but she would not have wanted that. She looked forward to this game. She wanted to make sure we played as many good teams as we could. For us not to play because we were sad would have been completely unacceptable to Sallie.
Stephanie Ferlita
We won. Each day we're building. We're 8-1, it's not a fluke. We're playing well against very good teams.
Wendell Byrd
I don't know if we necessarily had something to prove, but we do feel differently than last week. Last week was a very humbling experience. . . . There's no moral victories, or anything like that, but against one of the top teams in the country, we played well.
Marcus Hamilton
There were parts of the day in which we as coaches were really impressed with the team's ability to step it up a notch. They continue to show potential each week we race. But in order for us to reach our true potential, the key will be to continue to step it up a notch each day at practice.
Sue Taylor
I think both teams kind of settled in defensively. We came out flat. Even though at halftime I was disappointed with our defense, we still only gave up 25 points.
Bob Horodyski
This really helps us in terms of exposure. It gets our name out there, and, honestly, it helps maybe get us into a reciprocal arrangement where we can go to some of these teams' tournaments, too.
Mark Gaynor
I think this is awesome for our region. There are six teams in our region that could beat each other on any given day, and any of those six teams could have finished in the top four. I'm glad our top four teams advanced.
Sheryl Fowler
It's a great opportunity for our girls to run against a bigger competition to get us ready for the Regional. [The Regional] will have about 16 to 20 teams competing.
Len Klepack
We've got good perimeter shooters. We're one of the best perimeter shooting teams I've coached.
Tom Suelzle
This will be a non-conference game with some meaning to it if both teams continue to win. River Valley is in our regional. That is a seeding game for the tournament.
Chris Grinde
When I came up to bat with three men on and two outs in the ninth, I looked in the other team's dugout and they were already in street clothes.
Bob Uecker
Teams in the past have always received a lot of accolades for the performances on the court or on the field, ... But in this particular case, they not only did well in their sport - but they did well in the classroom, with the number of All-Americans and the All-Academic Big 12 honors they received.
