Denver Cromer

Bruiser Flint

We've played the three teams who came down but this is probably the toughest game. We break the matches down into groups of six, this is the last in our current batch and probably the hardest.

Kevin Dillon

This is probably the toughest loss we've had all year.

Peter Diepenbrock

Toughest group of employees to reach.

It's hard on me, yes, but it is the absolute toughest thing for a teenager. We've had a couple of long talks about how long this is going to take. She wants to get up and go now, but I think she's finally beginning to understand that's not how it works.

I think Metro sets teams up for the playoffs. Metro is one of the toughest leagues. You have to come to play.

Michelle Hall

This was the toughest game, all the pontificators, all the people on the radio, the print media saying, 'Well, you guys haven't won in 21 years. That creates a negative flow.

Jost Capito

I tell you what, I'm proud of our kids. I felt like we had a great year. We got ourselves in an opportunity to get into the playoffs in a three-way tie for second in one of the toughest districts around. You can't ask for more than that. We battled and played hard the whole way. I'll tip my hat to those guys [Heritage] — they played well.

Bret Warnack

My toughest fight was with my first wife.

Muhammad Ali

The first game of a road trip is always the toughest to set the tone. This carries more implications than just another road game for us. This is the first of us going out on a three game trip and it would be nice to get off on the right foot.

Pete Vagenas

Pound for pound, this is clearly the toughest, most going concern in the ecosystem, in the region.

He could never sit at home and not do anything. I think that's why he didn't retire. I think also, although he never said it, but I think he wanted to keep providing for the family. He was the toughest guy I've ever known.

Gary Clark

They'll be one of the toughest teams we see. They don't do any thing harder than us. They're just really clean. If we hit our routines, we'll be right there with them.

Ashley Kelly

We want this to be our coming out party. Laurel plays in the state's toughest district. There are no slackers in that division with Wayne County. We have to get up for this game.

It was a close match. And Bret Harte has a history of being the toughest team there is.

Brendan Stewart

It's always been our intention since I got here to play with the big schools. We want to be with the toughest teams.

Josh Bloomer

It was the toughest work I'd ever done.

Carole James

They're a very tough team to compete against, and they're the toughest team we've competed against so far, but I wouldn't say that's why we got creamed. We just didn't wrestle up to our ability.

Dustin Teeman

Jessica has played in one of the toughest girl's basketball conferences and areas in the state of Minnesota. She really understands what it takes to compete at a high level.

Jill Devries

I think the most important thing is that we're 8-7 in the conference. It's the toughest Division II conference in the country. We're probably going to get five teams in the NCAA Tournament. But more than that, I'm proud of them. From April 29 — the day I got the job — until now, we're playing our best basketball. That's how you build a program.

Scotty Davenport

Brandon is a killer. He's the toughest, most intense competitor I've ever coached.

Mike Polz

It's just going to be a fabulous sectional. It has to be the toughest and best in the state. You have to give a little bit of a nod to Central Catholic because they're playing so well and they have such powerful weapons. But I really think anybody could win it.

Matt Winkler

That's tough. The toughest part was the shadows. We all came back saying we couldn't see the ball. It was tough picking it up. When you go from a slow knuckleball to a guy throwing 95 and you add in the shadow, it's tough.

Frank Catalanotto

I feel like we have a good schedule. It's a tough schedule, maybe one of the toughest in the country, but that's what we wanted. We are working to set a standard for our players and you do that by playing the best teams out there. It also helps the conference out. The tougher our schedule, the better we will look in the RPI and that helps the Atlantic Sun.

Dusty Rhodes

I'd say the toughest audience to get right now in news is the 18-to-34 year olds -- almost all of the network and cable news programs skew older than 50.

Lloyd Braun

Losing your ability to drive is one of the toughest things. It tells us we're not healthy, we're not young, we're not capable.

Dennis Mccarthy

Track is one of the toughest sports out there, and by playing those other sports, it gives her a mental break and keeps her in shape.

Jeff Schutt

Going back down to the minors is the toughest thing to handle in baseball.

Gaylord Perry

They're doing well, ... Jamal's having a great camp so far. Steph's been a little banged up, but when he's out there, he's learning. They have the toughest job. Coach is hardest on those guys. As they go, we're going to go, but they'll be OK.

Malik Rose

He's in the toughest weight class in the state and he's taken this team on his shoulders. He's so mentally tough and works so hard and is such a passionate leader.

Jason Bastianelli

You know if he played for Mickey Andrews that he is one of the toughest guys there is. If you played for him, you're tough.

Kirby Smart

That is probably the toughest question for me and you can quote me on that. That's such a hard issue when you look at the frustration behind the increased volume of traffic on 107. There are no easy solutions.

William Shelton

These are the toughest markets Kingfisher has faced in many years.

Gerry Murphy

Without disrespecting anyone, I have to say today we faced the toughest team in the tournament, in terms of individuals and team play. Whoever we face in the next round will not be a strong as they are.

Jorge Fossati

There's plenty of talent, but I don't like to talk about potential. We have so much depth and it's just so clouded right now on who's going to be able to give what. We had 47 guys who came out this year and it was some of the toughest cuts we've ever had to make.

Shawn Parsell

The thing about Manny is that he can score in so many ways. He's one of the most athletic kids in our section, and he's one of the toughest.

Brandon Ambrose

The season can come down to one round at the regional. In the past few years we really haven't had problems in the sectional. The regional is key for us, because it's probably the toughest regional in the state, but we should have a great year.

John Greer

One at a time. The first one is always the toughest.

Mark Bemowski

Any time we did any of those running exercises, it was obviously the toughest part for me. Simulated games later on got a little tough.

Roy Halladay

That's probably our toughest thing. We came out fast (vs. Beckley), a lot of dunks, real exciting. Sometimes I wish we wouldn't start out that well, because we start wanting to please the crowd and not play at our tempo.

O.j. Mayo

This has to be the toughest sectional in the state. If people want to see great Class A basketball, this is the place to be. I believe the field is wide-open. Any one of the four could win it. ... But I like our chances, playing on our home court and the fact that we're jelling as a team right now.

Matt Winkler

But my mom knew this was my job and she gave me her blessing and told me to stay out here and do the best I could out here. But overall it was, by far, the toughest time in my life.

Marcus Tubbs

In that situation, I was able to get back to the wall in time to gauge where the ball was going. It wasn't the toughest catch I've ever made, but it was the kind of thing where we're putting our foot down right there.

Todd Hollandsworth

Officiating is a lot like being married. You tend to have selective hearing after a while. The toughest part to figure out is when to respond. When does (a coach) have a question, or when is he talking to be talking?

Pat Pownall

This is our toughest one yet, ... It's fair to say Palau was a vacation compared to this.

Jeff Probst

We've played the three teams who came down but this is probably the toughest game.

Kevin Dillon

We don't really pay attention to rankings, but I do know they are one of the toughest teams we are going to face. But I think our team is playing better. I don't think this was just us playing up to them. I think we're really starting to peak.

Ruth Vostal

You're facing one of the toughest systems in the whole country. You never look forward to playing a Dick Bennett team.

Jim Rosborough

I don't care who we play, that is always the toughest game to win. The emotions of the night settled down and we were able to take control in the third quarter.

Kevin Crossman

This was the toughest. There was a point this year I didn't think we'd finish .500.

Gene Nakamura

The toughest thing about success is that you've got to keep on being a success. Talent is only a starting point in this business. You've got to keep on working that talent. Someday I'll reach for it and it won't be there.

Irving Berlin

This was the toughest game I've every played in my life. Playing against their big guy, he's just so physically strong. I mean, he's just a great player. I just played my heart out, stayed in front of him the whole game. He's strong, but I played my best.

Julian Mclain

I told Carmine that he has the toughest job because he's expected to win every time he steps on the mound. That's not the case with Tony.

Ron Fussell

It's going to be tough for Channing. I basically said (Brown) is obviously a great teacher. The first half-year was one of the toughest times I've ever had. Channing is going to have to take a lot of things that are said with a grain of salt.

Sean Elliott

I've been here for 15 years and this is the toughest the section has been top to bottom.

Dave Esse

We knew it was going to be a tough week. Those are probably the two toughest places in the league to play.

James Forni

Largo has the toughest seven-girl basketball team I've seen this year. We knew we were going to have some problems, especially inside.

Carrie Mahon

I don't know if it was more the 4-3 or what. But as the game progressed, we started feeling them out. That first series was the toughest series of the ball game. Just going in and seeing what they were going to do, what we were going to do. We went to 4-3 and that's when we really shut them down.

Vince Wilfork

The schedule is the toughest we've had in years. The staff and players are excited about having six night games, as well as a number of great teams on the schedule. Each week will be demanding and our guys must be focused and prepared for each opponent.

Joe Breschi

It's a relief. Getting past the first round is always the toughest.

Bob Turcotte

The toughest for us is always the schools and the sheriff. Those are the two really tough ones because they're the biggest part of the budget.

Gloria Whisenhunt

These three teams are among the five toughest in our league. Coming in off of these wins (the other being a 6-1 victory over West Haven last Wednesday) should give us the boost that we need.

Rick Gedney

It's a good and important win. The district is one of the toughest in the state. Anytime you can get a win against a district opponent, it's a good win.

Scott Benedict

I told them if they step up and play hard and make (Bradley) look you in the eye, we'll judge and see who is the toughest. And our kids did that.

Chris Lowery

I never like to think that we can't win a game, but this was certainly our toughest challenge of the season. We match up well with them, but we needed to have a big second half -- and we did.

Mike Joyce

She's definitely been the heart and soul of our team. She gives us offensive power every night, and she does that even though she's guarding the toughest kid on the other team every game.

Reid Hoffer

In our league, we want to be the toughest team for anyone to play against, ... My hope is certainly to have this team continue to get better so we will be playing our best hockey come the month of February and lead us into the playoffs.

Brian Riley

The Big Ten is the premier conference, it's the toughest conference, and to do it week in and week out really says a lot about the character of these guys.

Joe Mcfarland

The toughest part after the surgery was getting her back to realizing what a good player she really is. I think she's back to that point that I've become accustomed to. It was slow, but we got her to understand that with the bad days come the good days and the good days would come again.

Ted Small

That O'Sullivan is probably the toughest sophomore around.

Jerry Henson

The toughest guy to tackle? Probably Marshall Faulk . Charlie Garner was something special before the injuries. Charlie played full speed all the time. He had shiftiness and ran with good power for a fairly small running back. Yeah, I'd have to say those two guys: Marshall because of the elusiveness and Charlie because he had the speed and shiftiness and ran with good power.

London Fletcher

It's our toughest road game because it's really windy. The altitude makes it hard too.

Lennart Maack

Australia has one of the toughest regimes of statutory competition regulation in the developed world. This case is in some ways a good test of its robustness.

Jonathan Sumption

I have just lost my patience with the criminals and the thugs and the sexual predators. One thing I'll do, I'll find the toughest legislation out there and enact it in Nebraska.

Dave Nabity

Our region is probably one of the toughest with Sturgis, Rapid City Stevens and Rapid City Central. Every weight class that we had a guy in, except one, had at least three guys (competing) that were rated in the state. Some of them had four.

Jared Digmann

This is the toughest region in the state. This competition is a great warm-up for the state championship.

Frank Pettineo

Sometimes the toughest games to win are the ones you're supposed to. I was proud of the girls for keeping their focus and understanding what we're trying to accomplish and not getting caught up in what our opponent is doing.

Don Lyons

I think that's probably the toughest conference to play in.

Steve O'steen

The toughest workout can never match the pain of being out of work.

George Montgomery

That was the toughest practice of my career and our best practice of the year. The emphasis was just playing as hard as you possibly could and really defending. That's what we've done and we haven't looked back after that. It's been incredible.

Jordan Farmar

He was definitely a father figure for me. He was the one who made me go back to law school, supported me during the toughest times as Babylon supervisor, and, most humbling, he picked me to take his place as county leader.

Richard Schaffer

On paper, the toughest part of our schedule is behind us.

Frank Decker

We have goals set higher for ourselves. But I'm not changing anything we're doing. And this (Fairfield Hills) is probably the toughest course we've run this year, which will be good preparation for the states.

Doug Russell

What always set Darrell apart was his competitiveness. He's one of the toughest kids I've ever seen.

Bob Henriquez

We are in one of the toughest conferences so it's not like we were expected to win all of them. And there are a lot of teams right in the same area, so it's not that bad.

Sharnee Zoll

The matches against Dearborn High have been the toughest of our season.

John Forster

The toughest part is to be able to execute in the game without thinking. When you're not playing a lot, you have to take drills in practice like they were games, just because you want to be able to go out there and not think, just play.

Jocelyn Thibault

It's great. Twickenham and England is probably the toughest proposition you can get in the Six Nations and we are one game away from the championship.

Paul O'connell

This will be our largest and toughest meet. The tournament consistently has a ton of kids who place in the state. The top Division II and Division III teams will be there. It's a real good tournament. It's a real back-breaker. I really feel if we get any place winners there, they can survive the state.

Chris Ford

This was by far the worst, the toughest. I'll second-guess every decision I made, and everything we did.

Doc Rivers

He did a great job in, by far, one of the toughest weight classes here. There were four returning state qualifiers. ... He gave up the first takedown early in each of his matches, which is very unusual, but in all the matches he stayed poised. He's very poised on the mat. It speaks to his experience.

Mike Graham

The toughest question has always been, 'How do you get your ideas?' How do you answer that? It's like asking runners how they run, or singers how they sing. They just do it!

Lynn Johnston

Last year, I think we were too confident. We were 23-1 entering the tournament and we just thought we were unbeatable. We know every team is equal, and we have to come out and play each team as if they are the toughest in the state.

Kyle Lewis

Our conference is one of the toughest conferences around. That makes it hard, but it makes us better too.

Jared Brown

Seeing Homestead win 28 years in a row certainly merits a level of frustration. The toughest part is knowing that in any other sectional around the area, we would have several trophies by now. They (Homestead) have a top-notch program full of players that train privately all year long and certainly have to be given a lot of credit.

Doug Stoffel

It was a real tough tournament. I was worried when I heard 119 was one of the toughest weight classes.

Troy Dolan

They are all really strong, fast teams, and they work hard just like we do. I'd rather be playing the three toughest teams than the three easiest teams.

Jordan Haines

Every year it gets harder and harder to narrow down the field of performers. With only 70 home games and all of the applicants, it's one of the toughest decisions we make all year.

Geoff Brown

This game will be our toughest challenge of the three years. Pallotti is a really solid team. I don't know if we can score enough points to win, but I believe if we can get 45 points, we will have a real good chance of winning the game.

Chuck Miller

I read somewhere that we had, next to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, the toughest non-conference schedule in our league. It felt like it was tough, and whether it's going to pay off for us we'll see. That's only one game.

David Spencer

Keeping my attitude straight was the toughest thing for me. I love basketball, so I enjoyed learning every aspect of the game. Me and my brother J.B. would always practice the game when we were little.

J'covan Brown

Losing Jared was the toughest part of all. We had to use a different first doubles team and had to move everyone else up. It was a real deflating start.

Rocky Jarvis

We have been in the midst of the toughest training of the season and I knew we would be tired. I was very pleased with the mental toughness and the grit that the team showed today.

Brian Vereb

I'll be glad when we're down across the mountain range. That's usually the toughest part.

Paul Gebhardt

It will be our toughest test to date. I hope the players feel the match is a little extra special.

Roland Thornqvist

Our guys are playing well right now. Having said that, I think we are coming up on the toughest part of our schedule. We have three matches in a row on the road and we need to be playing our best tennis of the year. It's going to be a major challenge, but I think we have a good deal of momentum and confidence going into it. Hopefully we can come out and play to the best of our abilities.

Manuel Diaz

It should be fun performing with the Roger Humphries Big Band. Some of the toughest people in the music come from Pittsburgh. Do you know who Roy Eldridge is? He was the king of the trumpet. He took over from Louis Armstrong.

Gerald Wilson

He is the toughest kid I've ever been around. Last year when we were playing he snapped his leg sliding back into first base, where the bone came through the leg, and never said it hurt until we got the ambulance out there.

Pete Guyton

It's the toughest race of the year, so we are preparing the car and ourselves as much as possible during the winter. After the 12 Hours of Sebring, you feel like someone who has been on a ship for a long time -- you cannot walk straight!

Sascha Maassen

For a kid who just got her driver's license, she's tough as nails. She's one of the toughest sophomores I've ever seen. She doesn't get rattled by anything; she loves to pitch and she works hard at it.

Pete Hoffman

Southern Miss and Tulsa, there's two teams that have the toughest time scoring points. But I think it's going to be a very evenly matched game. They're dangerous.

Doug Wojcik

I can tell you that I've had maybe one of the toughest years I've ever had in my life, just the anxiety of not being able to know whether we're going to be able to keep this event here.

Charlie Pasarell

We?re going to give away some size up front and that could hurt us a little bit against the more physical team in the league like Wilkes and Lycoming. The question is will we be able to put enough pressure on the quarterback. That?s going to be our toughest problem.

Dave Wood

When you get hurt, you start to lose out knowing how to play the game. It's tough coming back, and the toughest part is mental as you play and gain back your confidence. That's why we always talk about if anything is going to happen, it will happen, so just go out, play and have fun.

Anthony Smith

He is both strong and quick, one of the toughest to beat one-on-one. With a little more experience, Tim has the potential to burst on to the national scene.

Dom Starsia

My father told me it was not a job, that I wouldn't make a living at tennis, ... The toughest part was trying to explain to him that I could be the first one from Morocco to do it. But he didn't want me to play. We didn't talk for a year. That was when I knew I couldn't fail. I had to show him it was the right decision. It was a great motivation.

Hicham El Guerrouj

That has been the toughest part -- keeping this all a secret till now.

Wallace Smith

He worked with the toughest of the tough addicts.

Tanya Pritt

Hopefully, he just tweaked it. He's the toughest kid. If he can go, he'll go.

Steve Rebholz

What (Cox) has been able to do, infuse young talent throughout the years, young pitchers and win is one of the toughest jobs to do. Nobody has done it better.

Davey Johnson

That was as good as any final bout. The place was rockin' and they got after each other. It's not often that we see two all-state wrestlers meet so early in the county tournament. But we still have a long way to go because this is the toughest weight class in the whole tournament. It's loaded.

Bill Desario

The guy never ceases to amaze me. I thought I'd seen it all in the Arizona game (when he threw four touchdowns with a broken ankle). But this? For him to play like that with all the pain that he was going through? He's one of the toughest competitors I've ever been around.

Koy Detmer

Jon is widely admired and respected by the best scientists. His models and analyses are innovative and credible. He is tackling some of the toughest issues of climate change.

Jane Lubchenco

This is clearly the toughest weight class in the WPIAL tournament. There are eight guys who can go with anybody in the WPIAL. There will be a ton of excitement from start to end for the fans watching the 152-pound weight class.

Marc Billett

It was just one of those days for the Red Devils. When it comes down to crunch time, it's about who's most prepared. West had the same things happen to them. We just ran into a couple meat-grinders. We had probably one of the toughest districts in the state.

Derek Oney

That's the toughest loss I've ever had. I'm kind of dumbfounded considering they're the team that played last night. You get a goal a minute into the third and … they're doing it their way and they're losing. It's not everybody, but when we play our game plan, we're successful. We're making mistakes on little things that are turning around for goals for them.

Tracy Egeland

I was out to destroy the audience. I wanted to destroy 'em, just make the toughest dude in the crowd pat his foot. I'd find a groove to get 'em by watching feet, and once I got one guy moving, I'd start working on the dude sitting next to him.

Bo Diddley

I think the sprinters have it the toughest. But Lance has the potential and skill to get even better. He gets better and better every season.

Barbara Houck

The second half of football season is toughest because you've been doing it a few months already. Practices start to wear (you down). You get home and you don't feel like doing anything but going to sleep and you've got three or four subjects of homework to do.

Trevin Cowman

Clay will be the toughest surface for Roger. If things go right, if the weather's right, I think he can win it.

Pete Sampras

One of the toughest things parents do is make a rule their kid doesn't like. You'll inevitably feel a lot of pressure because your teen will make you feel like you're singling them out as a little baby loser.

Anthony Wolf

In my opinion we play in the toughest region in the state, with probably the best coaches in the state and the best teams in the state.

Andy Hallman

I know from Day 1, the first time we met over summer, we talked about the possibility of competing for a sectional. That's what Benton Central basketball's all about. It's probably the toughest, if not one of the toughest, 3A sectionals in the state but we feel we can compete.

Jeff Guenther

I really think our region is the toughest to get out of. Our district was rough, and we did well there. So I think our confidence is up right now. We just have to keep doing things our way and improving each time we compete.
