...And I've looked over, and I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you, but I want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the promised land. So I'm happy tonight. I'm not worried about anything. I'm not fearing any man.

Martin Luther King Jr.

We have company tonight.

Frank Borman

Those games are always fun, when you're up. You don't have to really worry about too much...We were denying passes, blocking out, and when we defend we can get easy buckets. Everybody was on the same page tonight. It was one of our best game of the season.

Salim Stoudamire

Though I know he loves me, tonight my heart is sad; his kiss was not so wonderful as all the dreams I had.

Sara Teasdale

And Kansas is at Chicago tonight or is it Chicago at Kansas City? Well, no matter as Kansas leads in the eighth four-to-four.

Jerry Coleman

It doesn't get more hostile than it was tonight. Their fans are loud and they cheer their team on. I only wish we could duplicate this environment at our place.

Jeff Dellis

The ball just wasn't dropping for us tonight, and Poland wasn't hitting many shots either.

Doug Sautter

We had the right person shooting the ball; he just missed it. Fortunately we got the rebound on the back side. That's what you see a lot of times on a last-second situation. Usually it's not the first shot that goes in, it's the tip. And that's what happened tonight.

Travis Hannah

We played all four quarters tonight. We led for all four quarters, and we executed.

Allen Pritchett

I thought we played a great game tonight. I thought we outplayed them. Trumbull has a good team. We jumped up on them, they broke back with four straight goals, we outplayed them in the third period and overtime, but they got a lucky bounce. That's what can happen in overtime.

Doug Robinson

There's no question we needed to close the gap tonight.

Mark Javens

We played hard tonight and had some opportunities down the stretch.

Mick Stefanek

He was in there (the office) watching film every night. He comes up with this stuff and sometimes I wonder if it's the right thing or not but I trust him completely and tonight was another example of that.

John Chernich

We are a good team, but we are not a cocky team. We know going into every game that we need to play our best, and tonight the kids came out and did a good job of executing the game plan.

Keisha Brown

Anybody who leaves the gym tonight is going to say this team played hard. Did we win the game? No. But if we play this hard, we?re going to have a much better chance. That?s what they can control.

Tim Hopley

Josh just kept them off-balanced. We're very excited about his pitching performance tonight.

Chuck Fehr

She's a very good player. She got some support tonight, which made it tough for us.

Dave Pero

I can tell you I have called 29 other teams, and all of our special assistants are flying in tonight to start two days of meetings. . . . We?re going to take a fresh look at everything.

Brad Kullman

Sam does that every day at practice. He has a great touch around the basket and he can step out and shoot it, which he showed tonight.

Lanny Smith

It's tough when you have only four defensemen, you [as a coach] can't do anything about that. And if we had any more forwards healthy, some guys that played tonight aren't playing tomorrow.

Kris Waltze

I'm glad the guys decided to score when they did. I was the benefactor tonight.

D.j. Carrasco

Losing is one thing. Losing the way we did tonight is unacceptable.

Pat Summitt

We just didn't play very well tonight.

Carmen Hines

She moved so well without the basketball tonight and you have to compliment our girls because they did a great job looking for her. I?m just thankful the girls did a great job of executing the plays and setting screens for her and getting her a lot of open looks.

Tom Halbmaier

(Lamar) drilled us at our house last year and we challenged our players to put out a great effort tonight. We didn't look pretty but we made the play we had to make at the end to win the game.

Johnny White

We've been in a shooting slump, honestly. ... Tonight we settled in and shot our open looks. And you know what? If we shoot 53 percent (from 3-point range), we can beat anybody.

Ken Chevalier

The last time we played them, we got down early and then slowed down on both ends of the floor. But we were able to stay aggressive on defense tonight even though it took a while for the offense to get going.

Fred Febach

I told all the fans I was going to get one tonight. I haven't had one in three games. I didn't think it would be that good.

Jacob Tucker

We knew that we could win this tonight. We're trying to go 7-0 to end the (DVC) season. We really want to go after Naperville Central.

Renee Shackleford

When we got up we started controlling the ball. They started attacking us and we protected the ball tonight.

Terry Boe

This game was so much better for us. Last time it was kind of embarrassing, but the girls played well tonight, and they never quit.

Nicole Vetter

I knew we were in for a dogfight from the beginning. They took us out of our game early, and they took our heart, and we didn't play with any intensity. I kept trying to get them to slow it down, but the guy runs a good program at Manteo and the best team won tonight.

Andre Midgett

All along, we've been ... I guess you could call it a work in progress. I thought last week was big in terms of us making strides in our progress. Tonight is important to us, for one thing because it's against Grove City, and for another because it's Senior Night, and we'd like to send these two seniors off the right way.

Gary Kellough

If it was to develop into a depression tonight or tomorrow, it could develop into a tropical storm.

Robbie Berg

Our floor position was good tonight. I think we got where we belonged. We got a lot of tips and deflections that led to easy baskets.

Steve Hodson

He can turn it on at times. He's a tough guy to guard. He can shoot outside, and he can take it inside. He can jump. He is just a nice all-around player. Tonight, he had it going.

Dave Barrett

Our kids were incredible tonight. I never thought we'd beat a great Tremont like that after losing to them by 24 points.

Matt Winkler

You saw how many different looks we had. We played up to 20 some kids tonight.

Harv Bainter

We were just a little hungry tonight.

Larry Tripplett

I was able to hit some free throws down the stretch and our inside play was good. Andrew was the difference tonight. We really were determined to win tonight.

Jamaal Magloire

Every puffin we see tonight is a miracle.

Stephen Kress

I heard some neighbors ask that the rate be lowered. But considering what is on the budget for next the next year, I don?t have any serious objections to the tax rate as proposed tonight.

Jim Short

We've been very close with the Americans before. The one thing that set us apart was, deep down, we didn't believe we could win. Tonight we believed it.

Maria Rooth

Last time, I don't think we had more than half a dozen people who were real refugees. We had more Texas National Guard here than flood victims. Now, it looks like we're going to have almost 200 by tonight.

Jeff Wilson

We did a lot of good things tonight. We've improved an awful lot since the first game of the season. We've got a long way to go still, but we made strides tonight and we've made strides the last three or four weeks.

Joe Muniz

If we can keep playing like this, I like our chances in the area tournament. But we've got to make sure we keep playing with the intensity we played with tonight.

Willie Henry Hicks

We had nine kids who all made strong contributions tonight. I saw nine kids in the locker room who were awfully tired. When you have tired kids, that's a good sign.

Robin Burgard

He didn't even have his good stuff today. Tonight felt like we were a second-tier team.

Marlon Byrd

I think all 29 other teams have written us off and given us no chance at all. We have to believe in ourselves and not back down against anybody like we showed tonight.

Tom Poti

We started slow tonight. We just couldn't put every aspect of the game together in the first game. The second game we were really fighting. I thought we played more our style. It could have gone either way.

Maggie Erlenbaugh

The players gave me exactly what I expected of them, both the guys who have been here doing it for the last five years and the newer ones who stood shoulder to shoulder with them and didn't let them down. The vision I have for Celtic must include the heart and character they showed tonight but we also have to play better and get fitter.

Gordon Strachan

(Dennis) hit some from Washington County. Some of them I went, 'Why did you do that; oh, good shot.' Dennis came up big tonight, he had a ton.

Rodney Self

Chris has a challenge in front of him if he wants it. He needs to challenge himself all the time like he did tonight.

Mike Florak

We blew a huge opportunity to take a step toward second place tonight.

Paul Dretsch

I thought Tyler pitched very well. He's experienced a little tightness in his arm and it's been a long year. He's thrown a lot of innings, but he made some tough pitches tonight. We need to take care of him a little bit. He's a little tired. We have to make sure we have him at full strength going down the stretch.

Charlie Puleo

We have to work on it more because we're not usually going to get that many chances. We weren't good enough tonight.

Amado Guevara

It's a division game and a very important game. We have a big week, but we're focusing on the first game. We need at least six points in those four games. I think that's a goal we can reach starting (tonight).

Patrice Brisebois

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

Jeremy Kendle

All the shots that we've been making all year, they just didn't fall tonight.

Curtis Hunter

I love it. It's a great atmosphere, and I love it like tonight, when the gym is packed and the crowd is crazy.

Jason Runde

We played good defense and got four key hits tonight.

Roger Jackson

After the Scott County loss, defense completely took over for us. It was all about defense, because defense wins games. Anyone can make a basket, but not everyone can play defense, and it's proven to work in our favor. We showed it again tonight, because it was a war out there.

Tabnie Dozier

I don't think we brought our 'A' game, but goaltending was a big factor. Jeff was great tonight. He stood on his head to make some of saves. The shots we took, we had to make sure they were goals because we didn't get many good shots.

Bryan Lerg

It was a team effort tonight. And that's important. They listened, they played defense, got some good stops, and we had some good runs.

John Cherne

The guys did a great job out there tonight. They hustled, they worked hard out there and they kept their heads in the game.

Brian Holt

This team exceeded my expectations of what I thought we'd be able to do this year. Tonight we didn't shoot the ball with confidence, and we didn't take care of some of the most basic things you need to take care of in playoff basketball. That's what happens with youth. You could tell that we'd never been this close before.

Dirk Hanson

Not to pick this game up tonight means we really have got to come through somewhere and win a game or two that nobody expects us to win. It just seemed that in the second half our defensive intensity wasn't there until the last four or five minutes.

Kay Yow

There are just some nights that you just don't put the ball in the hole and, tonight, we certainly didn't do that. We just have to be a little bit smarter and get better.

Chris O'hearn

Mosinee played a real good game. We just weren't able to match their intensity tonight.

Jason Rappe

Hopefully how the US did tonight will hype up everyone else and it will improve for tomorrow and Sunday. We'll see what happens.

Ryan Lochte

I think we take a lot of pride in the fact that we're nice and balanced and we're all unselfish about it. It just happens in the flow of the game; the ball gets spread out. No one's thinking, ?I've got to get my 10 points tonight.' It's just whoever's hot gets the ball.

Heath Waller

She did a great job for us tonight.

Mike Tomooka

They were really physical and did a great job scouting us. Our defense wasn't on par tonight.

Charles Lee

I was embarrassed after the Cal game. I'm not happy how the score ended up tonight, but it's different. The first half, we battled and fought. In the second half they just went on and blew us out, so it's different.

John Jay

I like to feed off other guys' energy usually, but in big games it's everybody's job to step up, and I was feeling it tonight.

Spencer Kraker

I think we're rolling now. We haven't had our team together all year. The shots (Williams) blocked tonight were amazing.

Sean Marshall

She's got tons of heart. Her knee was sore and her arm was tight, but tonight she was all adrenaline, 100 percent.

Keoke Behic

He was unreal tonight -- inside and out. His confidence just grew and grew as the game wore on and it was just great to see.

Richard Jefferson

That's looks a little more like the way the Trojans ought to play. We played more like we're capable of playing tonight. Our kids played hard in a game we really, really, really, really needed. I'm very proud of them. I don't know anything about the stats, but I know we played harder tonight.

Hugh Fountain

You don't like anybody to beat you too much. I don't have a long memory. And as an athlete, you can't have too long of a memory. You've got to move on. I can sure remember last year though, because we played two of our worst games against them. ... But it's good to bounce back and get a win tonight. It's good to beat a good club.

Gary Mcclure

We shot well from the line and that was the difference-maker tonight. We got fouled and we capitalized on it.

Dan Gillespie

The issues we're talking about tonight were here two years ago, four years ago, six years ago. And the political force keeps moving forward. They all keep endorsing each other because they want the same people who think like they do. The reason I'm running is it has to change.

Joe Ferrer

There is no reason this room shouldn't be filled with people tonight.

Sen. Roosevelt David

Allison played her heart out and refused to be intimated by Brewton-Parker. It was the type of effort we needed from our entire team. We played soft tonight and allowed them to either knock the ball away or simply take it away from us.

Marty Rowe

We all contributed tonight. We all had to help with scoring, rebounding and going for loose balls.

Renee Brantley

We did everything tonight but win on the scoreboard. I think we dominated a large portion of the game, so you know we gave up a bad goal in the beginning. We have to put ourselves in a better position where we have to defend a lead in the last ten minutes rather than try to come back.

Jeff Agoos

We did everything we needed to tonight except put the ball in the back of the net. I thought we played at a high intensity throughout and we competed from the opening whistle. Give credit to Memphis, they did what they needed to do to get the result, but I was very pleased with our play tonight nonetheless.

Neil Macdonald

I thought on defense we were flat out getting beat one on one and in the zone. Offensively we were very stagnant. When someone had the ball the rest were just standing and watching. It wasn't just one guy it was a team effort, so to speak, tonight.

Jake Krause

We knew if we got on top of them early, they wouldn't have the firepower to come back. It felt great tonight to have everyone behind us and all the fans screaming. I mean, everyone was playing well. We were supporting each other and playing hard. It just felt great tonight.

Andrew Engel

Those punt returns were an asset for us tonight. Overall, we have very good speed -- probably the best since I've been here.

Mark Lunsford

Balance is what we've been looking for. We didn't shoot well the last two games, so it was good to see all the kids hitting their shots tonight. I know Hinsdale's down now, but still, it was good for our shooters' confidence.

Thane Graves

It's been hard for me because I still believe, if you're going to win the big games, you have to rush the football. They scored so fast tonight, it seemed like we were playing defense all the time.

Mark Farley

(A) total team effort tonight. We played like a totally different team. Kobe is an awesome player. He makes shots, gets fouls, fun to watch. He may have got 41 but we got the win.

Ruben Patterson

It was like a championship game, we've been talking about it since the summertime. Last night he said he was going to get his career high tonight and I told him I was going to match him.

Michael Hayes

They were clearly the better team. We knew it was going to be really tough tonight, and we wrestled okay, but okay is not good enough against those guys.

Carl Adams

Take it easy, sit by the fire and cook a steak tonight.

Dick Cowan

When Kountze shoots like they did tonight, there isn't a team out there that can beat them. They are a great team already, and when they make even some of the shots they made tonight, it is tough to even stay with them.

Hank Hargraves

Valley's the defending state champion, and we just got in a battle with them tonight and went toe-to-toe. Up and down the lineup, our kids performed. The question now is where we can find five points in the next month before we see Valley again at the conference meet.

Kirk Schmaltz

The payment that came in today's mail, over 99.9 percent will go out in tonight mail to the right custodial parent.

Aaron Ross

I'm very happy because we played very physical tonight but San Jacinto did a lot of good things.

Josh Henderson

I chose the right way and was happy to get it around the post. It was a very important save. We didn't play that great tonight, especially in the first half. We gave away the ball too many times.

Shay Given

We ran into a team that played really well tonight. It wasn't a lack of effort or not believing, but they just beat us tonight. They swung the bats better than we did.

Rick Heller

Hey, I think Justin is getting wasted tonight.

David Marks

It was our first-ever playoff game and I'm proud of how we did. We want to get to their level. We made one mistake tonight on defense and they made us pay.

Mike Townsend

Two turnovers were key for us tonight. Russell Denton recovered a fumble on our 45 which led to our first score. Then Aaron Cupp picked off a pass late in the first half.

Richard Moore

When you have 20,000 people cheering against you, you find that energy somewhere, somehow. I think tonight you saw that mentality and mindset. The tougher team won tonight. I feel 100 percent confident in saying that.

Sarah Lowe

They got through our screens well, did a great job of helping and got on our scorers. They just played a complete game on the defensive end. We're a team that was shooting 40 percent from 3, but not tonight. All the credit goes to them.

John Mielke

Our saying this year is we have to take something away from other teams. And that's what we did tonight. If we keep doing all the things we need to do all year long, we're going to keep taking games away from those teams in front of us.

Keith Tiemeyer

Seniors always find a way to win. There?s wisdom in experience. It showed tonight.

David Mobley

This game was big for us. We still have a chance to get the third seed but we need some help. We didn't help ourselves tonight. We battled but we just got beat.

Jonathan Wells

I'm excited, I think we showed some character tonight and I'm excited to see this team play their first semifinal game.

Jerome Toby

To play at the Kohl Center in the state tournament has been a dream of mine since I was in the fourth grade. To come out and have a game like we did tonight, it's unbelievable. I couldn't be happier for all the guys on this team.

John Hoch

It was a good win against an excellent, excellent program. We talked about wrestling with emotion, keeping the emotional intensity and our whole staff couldn't be prouder of our team's effort tonight.

Mark Crisp

If you get an open look in this league, you've got to knock down the shot and we were knocking them down tonight.

Morris Peterson

They've improved from the last time that we played them. They swung the bat and hit the ball well tonight.

Carl Fuller

The thing about it now is the games don't count. We've got two weeks to fix the problem. The thing I observed tonight — after the picks, after the bad plays, he was still upbeat, he still took charge in the huddle.

David Patten

The difference was they were ready to play and we weren't. Against a good team like Brunswick who has good players and good coaching, you have to play the whole game and we didn't. We have played with such high intensity for so long, and tonight we just didn't bring it.

Mark Loomis

We have a lot of character on our team. What we pride ourselves on is being tough. I'm not worried about us bouncing back. We'll get this out of our system tonight.

Chris Walker

They played 39 minutes and 45 seconds of zone defense and controlled the tempo. We never got into the type of game we like to play. I think tonight was a great example of what can happen when we don't have a constant 3-point shooting threat.

Steve Ridder

Tonight they're good, tomorrow they're just plastic beads. What's scary is what the women do for these plastic beads.

Jane Thompson

I never looked at it as us having a monkey on our backs. We didn't prepare any differently for this game tonight than we did the other games with them. I think the big difference was that tonight, we executed our game plan as well as we could have.

Aaron Straub

We're used to starting slow and tonight we had a really slow start. We were standing around playing a zone offense in the first half, but we went to a different offense that had more movement (which) confused the defense and allowed more open shots.

Jodi Bolerjack

Clearly, we are disappointed to not win a final tonight, but we don't want this feeling again and we will do everything we can to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Fc Dallas

All three guys in goal have played well for us and Chris made several strong saves tonight.

Mike Routhier

Carl Robinson, he is the package. He does it all, he's a great running back and I was real proud of his effort tonight.

Doug Dixon

Once you get the ball rolling you relax and it gets a little bit easier to knock some of those shots down. They looked like they were having fun again tonight.

Barb Felderman

All three of our seniors played leadership roles tonight. Lisa got a lot of things opened up with some good drive penetration, and Amber controlled the floor very well and made some excellent passes. We got everybody involved early in the game.

Dan Denner

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

We worked real hard tonight. We got back when we needed to and helped out on defense, then we generated the attack and got the ball to the forwards.

Matthew Lee

We obviously got pushed out of our offense and we didn't execute very well. I've got to do a better job as a coach ... but these kids have responded to everything we've done and I think they responded to everything tonight.

Mike Strong

I tell you what. I was worried all week about Riverdale. When they shoot well, they can give you all sorts of trouble, and tonight they showed it.

Phil Loy

I knew there'd be a big crowd tonight and a lot of noise. I just told the kids to focus on the game.

Rich Demuzio

(Olsen) got a lot of second chances. He played above himself tonight, and had great energy.

Doug Meacham

I don't know if there was any extra incentive because of losing to them before. What I do know is that these kids are capable of playing the way we played tonight, especially on the defensive end of the floor. They played smart, they took care of the basketball and overall, I thought we did a great job.

Luann Grybowski

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'd obviously like to get in (the playoffs) as quick as possible. We just have to continue to play well. We shot ourselves in the foot tonight.

Joe Szekely

Savy is the best player in this league ? hands down. He gets chances almost every night. He's pretty much faster than everybody out there. For everything to be going in for him is great. It couldn't happen to a better guy. Hopefully, he didn't use them all up tonight and he's saving some left in the tank.

Phil Osaer

I just wasn't good tonight. I didn't have any command of my change-up and breaking ball. It kind of snowballed on me.

Chris Reitsma

Rodney played one hell of a game. This was the best game he played against us in this whole series. The major difference tonight was he came to play. The two previous games combined he had 11 points.

Mike Francis

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

James Mogge

All year long, we've played close ballgames. I think that helped prepare us for tonight. I thought we did a pretty good job of keeping our composure down at the end.

Wayne Dickey

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

Aaron did a real good job of posting up tonight. It makes a big difference when you have a presence down low, and he started to establish himself.

Steve Box

He just got hung up tonight.

Bob Schaefer

I just controlled both sides of the plate, changed speeds here and there, and expanded the zone when I needed to. Mostly, I just had better command tonight.

Dave Bush

Last week Marceline physically put it to us and we didn't get much going offensively. We focused on that this week; getting back to our power running game and it's evident by our stats tonight.

Ryan Watson

That's what he can do when he wants to. When he plays like he did tonight, we're tough.

Kip Rhoten

The last six games we've been lacking heart. We came [together] at halftime tonight and made the decision to play for fun. In the second half and in the overtime, we played with heart.

Bobby Garcia

Good start tonight. We got in a little foul trouble, but our girls off the bench did a good job of maintaining things.

Lynn Frederick

I just can't say enough about what a phenomenal game she pitched tonight.

Mark Rea

Free throw shooting was really bad. Since Christmas, we've improved a lot. We have been around 70 percent since Christmas, but tonight we were not very good from the free throw line.

Jeff Vanarsdel

Every day at practice we shoot 60 to 70 free throws, and I always imagine myself in high-pressure situations like it was tonight.

Felicia Chester

Our passing game was disappointing tonight.

Cheryl Benton

The kids were focused coming into tonight. All the distractions that I was worried about seemed to go away.

David Fuhrer

She (Ronk) had lots of endurance tonight. I think she's a great leader. I think she knew she was going to get it done. There was no way I was taking her off the mound tonight.

Tara Garrett

It's frustrating to lose like that. The defense wasn't there at all tonight.

Chris Kaman

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

We can't take penalties early in the games if we're not going to be able to kill them. We shot ourselves in the foot tonight.

Matt Stajan

We did it at home a week ago and (Brian) McFall did it yesterday with his home run in the top of the 12th. We did it again tonight. (Valentin) had a great day and it was a good way to cap it off.

Rusty Brown

I think all year long we've talked about one or two different people stepping up at the right time. I think tonight I had five kids on the floor step up and do the little things.

Stacey Stroman

We did what we had to do tonight; we had to defend the home court. The pressure was on us. (Clarke coach) Jon (Davison) knew he had a step and a half up on the league if they come in and get that win tonight.

James Lancaster

I'm really proud of her. She came ready to play tonight.

Angie Lucier

We challenged our kids all week. You can tell a lot about a team by how they respond to a loss, and our guys came to play tonight.

Kelly Clark

Tonight I had to step it up.

Andy Nelson

We didn't get the bounces we needed tonight. In a game like this, mistakes will kill you. But we hung in there. Our guys came here to play and we never gave up.

Neil Rodman

I hope tonight meant a lot to him, to show him that we love him.

Mike Holt

We were doing things tonight they teach you not to do in Pop Warner.

David A. Bennett

We faced a kid last night that threw different than what we saw tonight, so we had to make some adjustments.

Randy Osnes

We talked a lot going into tonight about how one loss to Oxford was not going to end our playoff hopes. They stayed focus on the task at hand and kept playing until the job was finished.

Chad Kison

I'm really disappointed in our play tonight. I don't know if we played with near enough heart and near enough head.

Phil Martelli

Tonight, Houston just beat Detroit by a buzzer and New York lost to Connecticut. That helps us because we pick a game up on each one of our competitors.

Richie Adubato

Dennis could go out there and collect six or seven rebounds like he did tonight, not the 17 he managed in his prime. I think the off-court stuff would be a problem. Sustaining his focus would be difficult.

Nick Nurse

We expected a tight, defensive game; we know them and they know us. Defensively, I thought we played well tonight and that's what got us the win.

Charlie Elmendorf

I'm disappointed with our effort tonight. I didn't feel that we played hard until midway through the second half. You can't do that and expect to win. This is a 40-minute game. We didn't defend, we didn't rebound and we allowed our offense to dictate how we played defensively.

Dee Romine

Greg is such a workhorse. On one of his rebounds tonight I saw his elbow go above the rim. That was most impressive.

Dave Doemel

The way we played tonight, I don't know if we had much to play for, and that's the frustrating thing. I was hoping we could pick up our intensity and focus. We had very little of that tonight. We worked too hard to get that win.

Greg Sheley

Ashley has a really calming effect on the team. She's been a huge part of our success this season. Tonight was the perfect example of that.

Dorne Hall

I told (Mayo) before the game, if we win this game tonight it?s going to be a 5-4 or a 6-5 game. That?s how we have to win games this year. We know it, and we did it.

Chris Mcguirk

We were hot tonight. When you're facing a team that's hot, it's hard to stop them.

Mike Felix

You've humiliated all suite attendants with your performance tonight!

Red Mccombs

It'd be easier for me if the board voted tonight, ... since I wouldn't have to vote. But I think it's important to be fair. We've talked about this issue for a long time. I think I know which way I'm going to go on this and that way I can be responsible (for the decision).

Richard Chapman

Half of the 55 people in this year's contest will perform tonight, and the other half perform next Friday. After next Friday's round, about half of those 55 will be cut and the others will then move on.

Phil Struebig

This was an outstanding effort by all of the girls tonight. We got after it defensively and that helped us stay in the game. We held a good team to 36 total points.

Tyler Morris

We make a lot of demands on them in practice about rebounding. They were up for the challenge tonight.

Doug Light

This is for all of you out there tonight, reaching for a dream - don't ever give up! Never ever listen to anyone, when they try to discourage you, because they do that, believe me!

Mariah Carey

I had to start making plays that he makes. He makes plays for everybody and I tried to do that tonight.

Kirk Snyder

We came at it like we do every game. We just moved the ball well. Everyone knew where everyone was tonight.

Danielle Kamm

They put the pressure on you, so you just try to keep them from gaining momentum. But tonight I wasn't able to do that.

Jamie Moyer

He's a tough kid. He's a competitor. You know, the baseball gods just weren't with us tonight.

Mike Conrad

At the Auditorium, I had to yell to get people to hear me. Tonight, I didn't yell so much.

Russ Bartlett

We set our goal to win the series, at worst tie the series. This is a disappointing loss for us tonight. We wanted to come out here and play better, but we didn't get the job done.

Neil Giesler

It felt good after a long break. It was nice to get everybody into the game. We're excited to be playing on our home court (tonight) for the championship.

Brittany Wilkins

We've been looking for a breakout night. We've been shooting in the mid-40s (percentage). We made our shots tonight, and we played real good defense. We're real happy with the win.

Jack Nelson

I look at the team in all total aspects. We had four guys in double figures tonight, and if you're going to have two of them (over 20 points) with that, it's hard to beat.

Doug Lipscomb

We're disappointed obviously in our effort tonight. We came out sluggish. That's a good hockey team we played, and they just took it to us tonight. We couldn't work out of the funk.

Ron Kuhl

That's what big-time players do. They put teams on their shoulders, and he hit some big shots tonight.

Dave Lutz

I'm trying to teach my guys consistency. Consistency is the key to success in the restaurant business. If you come in here tonight and you order the filet mignon, and you come back in a month to find its all different, you're not going to be as happy. You're going to want it to be just as perfect as last time, and that's what we're striving for.

Rob Stevens

For me, I really don't care how much I play as long as we can win basketball games. And obviously we were able to do that tonight so I'm not upset at all.

Tiffany Fisher

We really wanted to win this game. We didn't want our season to end tonight.

Nicole Scott

Champlain Valley is not the kind of team that you can come back from a big deficit like we were forced to do tonight. We have got to find our offense.
