We just didn't have any energy in the game. We had a lot of guys that didn't practice during the week (because of injuries) that played in the game. And we just had no fire. I'm real disappointed in that.

Jack Rose

It was nothing we did as coaches. I have great kids on this team. They just came out and played hard and shot the ball well.

Kyle Schellin

We really just had a lack of aggressiveness tonight. Part of that was they played really smart defense.

Brian Menk

This was a great hockey game. Both teams played hard the entire 60 minutes and you couldn't rest for one shift.

Terry Ruskowski

Our young guys are winners. They want to keep on going. They're competitive guys. They've played against some great competition before they got here, and they're going to keep doing what they're doing.

Ronald Ramon

I thought Community Christian played really well. They are just a lot younger than we are.

Ben Forbes

We've only played 10 or 12 shows with Matt. Markku left a month and a half, maybe two, ago. We met Matt through Chris, our drummer. They both come from up north (the Bay area), and Matt was playing in a band called Tsunami Bomb. He was great, so we called him in.

Dan Estrin

As good as we played against Johnson City, it was the opposite today, especially in the first half. We didn't sustain any possession, our spacing was off and we got back into kickball mode.

Jerry Mackey

We came out flat in the second half. We came out and committed two costly fouls at the beginning of the half. We just played sluggish.

Lewis Jackson

The rain has just killed us because we've lost four or five games. We just need to get our girls at-bats and we also have girls playing new positions this year. We have a lot of girls playing positions they haven't played before.

Bart Mcafee

We played 32 minutes of very good defense. We attacked in the fourth quarter, and Arielle Powers played incredible defense on Sam Cutting.

Deb Rathburn

We've played well in the first half in a lot of games.

Travis Niesen

We played 12 kids and 10 of them scored. We just didn't have anybody down the stretch who could make a hoop when we needed it.

Paul Lancaster

A goal like that can really hurt a team. That makes it tough for them to think they have a chance to come back. We just played such a good team game. That's what we need.

Antoine Vermette

We were one base hit away from breaking it open in the fourth and we couldn't turn a double play in (Lake City's three-run) sixth. The kids played hard and never quit.

Sam Rick

Kevin has been pitching great all year long. We also played some great defense behind him.

Jerry Tischler

We played a good match. We had six minutes of craziness. It was something which can't be explained. It's not the moment of regrets. We are sorry, embittered, but this is soccer.

Carlo Ancelotti

Our guys worked hard, we played hard. Sometimes we don't play real intelligently, but they competed and played hard tonight.

Jim Wiscombe

We had 48 turnovers last time we played this team. Our goal this time was to keep it under 30. By our count we had 29.

Matt Strophy

The big ones have to try and do their job and do what they're supposed to do — get as many rebounds as possible. (Stony Brook) played with a lot of heart and a lot of passion.

Hilton Armstrong

Holding them to just 46 points was a reflection on how hard our kids played.

Chester Coach Scott Langerock

What England have got to do is continue to win. They've got a big winter with Pakistan and India, ... If they go to Australia in 18 months time having won all the series they've played, then clearly they're going to go with a great deal of confidence.

Chris Broad

Even when I was losing ... I still had the feeling that he cannot hurt me. Either I can win the match, or I can lose the match. Sometimes I was a little surprised at how slow he played the balls.

Dominik Hrbaty

I thought maybe they might play at some place, but I never thought for the same coach — never, ever, ever. I had four boys who went to St. John's. But none played football there.

Felix Mannella

I thought we came out with great focus in both halves. In front of all different types of people in a tournament like this, it felt like a postseason game, and we played like it was one.

Wade Grinde

He's the real deal. He's the hardest running, running back that they've had, that we've played against.

Bill Kramer

We came together as a team and played to our strengths.

Scott Lawson

We were lucky to be as close as we were, for shooting 33 percent. We played hard, but we didn't play real smart.

Herbert Greene

I'm going to miss competing everyday and just playing basketball. I've played with those guys since the fifth or sixth grade. They're like my brothers.

Ryan Wilson

We played hard, but we didn't play smart.

Jeff Sykes

We stayed in our gaps, played disciplined football.

Grady Jackson

This was a nice game for us. Holdrege played well, and the girls stepped up and got the job done.

Jon Graff

We missed a lot of easy shots but we played tough on defense and got the ball back. And this was probably our best performance at the free throw line this year and we needed it.

Connie West

We played well at times, but our margin for error is so small.

Steve Pikiell

They've played together for three years, so they know each other's game well.

Doug Ellis

That's key that these girls they played really good defense. For the most part, we did a great job on the boards so that's what saved us tonight.

Craig Walker

We played more aggressive and a little hungrier in the second half.

Colin Falls

I played in that game and it was really disappointing. Since then I've wanted to get back to the Rice Bowl and experience the feeling of winning.

Yusuke Nakai

The girls played with intensity, and this is what we needed to go into playing Lanesville.

Randall Schoen

He played amazing with those four birdies on the first five holes, ... He played awesome today. There was really no room for error.

Michelle Wie

They came out and played great defense, ... But the thing I liked was, for a while there, they weren't scoring either. I was happy with the way we played defense while we were struggling.

Lindsay Whalen

The monkey was off our back. We played a home game the following week, and I remember telling the team, 'Guys, we have to find our goalpost.' It was kind of crooked, but we had it up by the next week.

Roger Thomas

I'm proud of my team. We played really hard.

John Hayden

We played tough. But they had that spurt that kind of hurt us. They were knocking down shots and we weren't.

Rashad Williams

It's a tough way to finish, but I played well. The pain is still there, but it hurts a whole lot less when you are 6-under.

Vance Veazy

It was not that a single performance lifted us. It was a hard fight and we played good cricket. But we can't slip up as there is still a lot left in the series.

Rahul Dravid

He didn't have his best game, but he played well enough for us to win.

Michael Costa

We were so excited just to get the opportunity, so that was kind of our driving force. We were just going to play the best we could - we were just lucky to be there - and I think we just played well as a team and that was the difference.

Lyssa Dennard

Our guys played well, we just didn't match up with (Heritage). They are quick. A good team. In the second half, they were just stronger than us.

John Bates

I'm very, very pleased. I thought our guys had great intensity and played with a lot of heart.

Byron Samuels

We had a very good day today. Our top two doubles teams played very well and our singles was very consistent once again, especially at the bottom of the lineup.

Manuel Diaz

That was a no-brainer because my father played football.

John Avery

When you play five or six sophomores offensively, they just have to grow up. That's the only way they can do it without making mistakes. Thankfully our defense played well enough tonight that we could come out on top.

Porter Casey

We didn't play the complete game we needed to play but give Holy Cross credit. They got the lead and played hard. Now we've got an opportunity to be 2-0 in the league. That's the way we've got to look at it.

Jack Siedlecki

The team played much better, ... Every team member contributed tonight. Our serving was much better, and we had good team hustle.

Anita Allen

We didn't play very well defensively in the first quarter. We gave up 18 points in the first three or four minutes, but we played better the rest on the game.

Joe Shoemaker

The score doesn't accurately reflect the effort our girls gave. They played a good game, there were just some things that didn't go our way.

Lindsey Talley

We really had to battle for it, and the girls made tremendous improvement throughout the season. They have played so well in the second half of league, and that was our goal.

Cari Strange

Y'all played too hard to feel good about a tie, to let them go for two and feel like they done something. We were the most physical team and that's why we won.

Jet Turner

We work on it in practice a lot. We do a lot of possession (drills) in training. We work on certain patterns, which they did well. They played a good game - exactly what we were hoping for.

John Planamenta

Nah. For some reason I think I could have played better after every game, ... I'm never satisfied.

Reggie Sheffield

We played our first game in 1986. When we first started, we couldn't hit the ditch.

Jim Batchelor

It's part of sports, part of being a competitor. He played better than me. That first week [of fall practice] I didn't play very well; I was rusty, and he played better.

Josh Swogger

We played a good game overall defensively.

Mel Hay

When you're not on top of your game, sometimes confidence is a big factor and as a goalie you can't really hide it. I went down there and played some pretty good games and I'm just happy to be back.

Patrick Lalime

It was a well-played basketball game: they did some nice things with the ball but I didn't think our defense was that bad. We played with a lot of emotion and a lot of intensity but we were fatigued at the end.

Mike Wood

It was a struggle, ... because I was terrible. I couldn't understand why I couldn't play as well as I played before I got sick.

Scott Verplank

We kind of knew this was coming. The last two games we played really well and we deserved better.

Christian Backman

It was actually a very hard-fought game. Slowly but surely, we pulled away. We played better, and I think they tired.

Tom Locascio

We have been impressed with the way the game has been played at Coors Field this season. And I really believe it has helped us on the road.

Keli Mcgregor

We are always happy with a win. I want to give Sayre credit. They hustled all night; they really played hard.

Ken Fritchman

We played good defense (all game) and ran our offense (in the second half). When we do that, we can win.

Brian Alexander

Lindsey stepped up to the midfield and played real well.

Jason Venable

We didn't wake up until the fourth inning. After that we played 11 innings of pretty good baseball. We have to come out ready to play the next morning. We were flat after (Thursday's) emotional win against Monterey.

Barry Russell

They did a good job. I'm really proud of the way we came back and played. But we have to carry that into all four quarters. That will be really important for us.

Sean Coste

It's a tour that probably nobody else can say they played on except for Bart Bryant.

Tag Ridings

It was a great game on both sides. Everybody stepped up and played when they had to play. All that mattered was a 'W'. We never gave up.

Joe Pokraka

Yankton is definitely one of the best teams in the state. We came out and played hard, but our defense could improve a little and our ball movement.

Teresa Case

We've been struggling for a few games, and we haven't played our best hockey yet for a full 60 minutes. And I think we showed in the first period against Ottawa -- a great team in first place -- that we can play five-on-five against anybody.

Wade Belak

It's just hard because we were so close. It would have been so cool to win it all. The seniors played great today. I'm going to miss them so much.

Alex Delpiombo

It's 10 times better than it was last week. Everybody stepped up, played big, and we got the win.

Kyle Herndon

Our goal was to clinch tonight and these guys were able to do that. I thought we played really well tonight. Our energy level was superior. We took them out of their offense.

Jerry Carrillo

(Yeary) played a great game. He's done great even though this is his first year as goalie. He had a great game.

Phil Mauney

We did a very good job considering we hadn't played since the 16th of December.

Nagene Thomas

You know, everyone said Central was too tough. That we had no chance. We just came out and played tough. We didn't try to do too much. Everyone just played their game and we won. I hope everyone knows now that we can play.

Lester Hart

That's a gutsy group. They played us tough last year, and they did it again (Friday).

Tom Cramer

That was some of the best defense we've played all season.

Derek Ergle

I thought we played well on both sides of the ball although we did lose some intensity in the second half.

Vic Dalrymple

My dad always played old records. I loved the sound and at a dance I saw the band come down and circle up. I said I'd buy my own set to play a tune.

Vinnie Robinson

We got stops for the first six minutes of the fourth quarter. Our kids played great defense.

Kelly Cooper

It's going to be a good game. Hannan played us tough in the playoffs the last two years … but we won both games.

Josh Aciukewicz

We hit the ball OK, but ran ourselves out of a couple of innings. We couldn't put much together. They (the Owls) played well defensively.

Vern Ramie

I thought that we played pretty solid in the first half. The PK. That was the difference (in the half) with that call. It was not an even half, but it was one where we should have gotten out 0-0.

Tom Taucher

Golf is tiddlywinks played while standing up and and wearing a hat.

Florence King

The defense has really picked it up. Bucyrus is a good team and we played well. We wanted to pick up momentum for the next game and we did.

Anthony Jordan

We did a good job of pushing the tempo. Even though we weren't on our A game defensively, we played well offensively.

Rob Salter

We had a really good effort on a small field. We played on their football field and it was bumpy and rough in the middle. We had to dribble on the outside and it was tough to score in those conditions.

David Weiss

It was back and forth most of the way. We played tough.

John Rimas

The first quarter we really played well, but then I thought we were spotty and didn't finish. We moved the ball up and down the field all night. We just didn't finish drives.

Jim Aldrich

In 34 years of coaching, this may have been the toughest loss ever. We played hard and hit as hard as we've hit all year. This game was impossible to lose. But we found a way.

Mike Paul

(Turlock) played pretty good defense, and they're 6-0 (in the CCC) for a reason.

Joe Barcellos

They're all artists that I know and have played for me over the years. They're gracious enough to donate things.

Chuck Morris

Everybody in Nashville wants to play guitar. I didn't have a bass, so I took two strings off of a guitar and played it like a bass. [Learning the bass] came easily for me, it didn't take a lot of effort.

Nick Rather

We played much better tonight, especially on offense. We really came out to play.

Bobby Peeks

The team they had in the playoffs was totally different from the team we played earlier in the season. We knew that coming in.

Don Henry

Defenders Mitch Dees, Jamie Crouse, Danny Irene and Steven Rogers played great games against a relentless Turlock attack.

Doug West

Arizona played very well tonight. They wanted to win and played good hard-nosed lacrosse.

Jason Lamb

It was very sloppy. We lucked out winning, but Whitcomb played good defense.

Julie Martin

We've played good football but it just amazes me that other teams don't really come to win but they get results.

John Gorman

Lincoln came out and played a great game in the first half. I thought their defense is what made them click so well.

Conlan Efurd

This was a tough, hard-fought match. We played incredibly well for half the time.

Wayne Elliott

I was very impressed with our offensive at-bats in both games. I think we had quality at-bats, hard outs and the base hits were hard. Once again, we played very good defense.

Smoke Laval

It gives you confidence because you look back at it and realize you played with them and you kept up with them on the ice. These guys are the best, so it makes you feel good to compete with them.

Maris Ziedins

It's been as good as we could have hoped for. These guys look like they've played together.

John Mirabello

We just didn't take enough shots tonight. They played a good defense and shot very well.

Deron Collins

Canisius hasn't played to their expectations. But I think they are a team that is going to catch fire and start winning games in this league.

Matt Brady

It feels great; my girls got a victory for the old man. We played very well, particularly in the second half.

Willie Thomas

He played great on the first nine holes. That's good golf and you can't control that.

Michael Campbell

We've already played Lexington Catholic. We're not going to see anybody better than the teams we've already played.

Jeff Haile

The girls played well and were very dominant tonight.

Jon Graff

We're a much better team than we played like today. We made a lot of little mistakes. We're a young team.

Tim Newby

I think this is a well-deserved honor for Janae. She came in and played at a high level. She was very instrumental in our improvement. She's a very versatile player who contributes in many ways.

John Wardell

They've played some good teams to get there, and they're playing good basketball right now.

Chester Coach Scott Langerock

I think I was doing everything right, but sometimes even when you're doing right things it's not working. He just played too well when he had to.

Igor Andreev

The way I look at it, I'm thankful for all the opportunities I've had to play in all the places I've played. I've enjoyed every place. And at this stage of the game, I'm happy to still have the opportunity to play somewhere else.

Sean Burke

We played a real lackluster game. It wasn't very good. (We) challenged the kids at practice yesterday (Monday) because we were rained out.

Sean Bieterman

The kids played really well defensively the entire game. I'm proud of their defensive effort. Offensively, we stumbled a little in the third.

Josh Hartman

Coming off a long break is always difficult, so I was proud of the girls for coming out ready to play. They took care of their business today. I was happy we came out and played our game.

Shanna Marshall

We played very well down the stretch. Wicks and (Bryan) Mathews both knocked down key free throws. Each of them was 2-for-2.

Steve Monks

I think I played well today and you know it's up to him. All I can do is go out there and do the best I can every time I get out there, and I did that today.

Brian Ching

To me, knowing they're 1-4 in league is crushing. You could sit there and say we should have won the game, but we played well when it counted. I told my team congratulations. They did what they had to do to win the game.

Dustin Lanz

We played great team basketball. This was an opportunity to play everyone and look at a lot of different combinations. I'm pleased with how the kids played coming off the bench. They did a really good job.

Brett Mackey

Everybody who knew her as a mother will say that she was a great mother. She took them to school, she always kept them with her, she played with them, she got them to bed on time.

Teresa Caffese

The first half I think both teams played with so much emotion. I think both teams were a little out of control. You can play hard with emotion, but it's hard to play under control.

Rick Vanmatre

Last year we got a taste of it. The first game we played extremely well and the second game we didn't play our game. We're going to try to get to the Sweet 16 - that's our goal.

Ganiyat Adeduntan

We put it all on the table, and they just played a little better than us that day.

Jill Markowitz

We played with some poise and confidence. Even when we didn't do things well, we didn't act like it bothered us. We acted like guys that had been there before and that's encouraging and something we need to build on.

Darrin Horn

Molly and Lauren played well back on defense. We did a good job, but it wasn't enough.

Greg Clippinger

We have to be ready to play from start to finish. I give Canon-McMillan credit. They put the ball in play, played great defense and got great pitching. They gave themselves a chance to win. We didn't do that in the first three innings.

Brian Shipley

We just played awful. We didn't come out ready, and we played flat.

Derek Raivio

Malik played a fantastic innings under pressure, but the pitch was good to bat on.

Kumar Sangakkara

I was fairly happy. I played well. I knew I needed to be aggressive today. I played good enough to win.

Mary Pierce

They had their first experience having the course so full. They've played 18 holes before on a tough golf course, but not with the logjams and waiting that took place today.

Shawn Bestgen

I played a supporting role at Bay Springs, but now I am more of a leader here.

Jasmine Payne

We really had some momentum after winning the first game. We played with good intensity, but was just didn't execute anything.

Tracy Box

We played hard, but we just got too far behind early. We committed too many turnovers, and their [22] offensive rebounds just killed us.

Henry Dickerson

Switzerland are not inferior to anyone. They played well against England. With a bit more luck, they could have scored early against England. It was very close and at 11 against 11 I though they played very well.

Thierry Henry

We played well and everybody got at least two quarters of playing time. This was our all-around best team effort.

Michelle Taliaferro

We were embarrassing. That's how we played. They outplayed us and they did all the things that you should do to be a good team. We didn't come to play.

Richard Schmidt

We could have played harder. But even if we'd played our best game, it still would've been a long shot.

Chris Bown

The game was great for the fans. Our guys played with all their heart and gave everything.

Pat Mcnamara

Having Caitlin back in the lineup enables us to put our best lineup out on the court. Caitlin has not played a match in two months and was pretty shaky in the first set but she did a great job of working it out and getting her own confidence back.

Patti Henderson

I'm very proud of what we've accomplished. We never quit. We stayed with it until the very end. I'm really proud of these gentlemen. They played their hearts out and never gave up.

Bob Berezowitz

This was a hard loss to swallow. We played well. We gave it a good shot. It just got away from us.

Stan Sexton

Andrew played a fantastic game. They took an awful lot of shots (26), and he was right on them. It was wet and messy, so that made it tough for the goalies.

Tom Butts

They knew he had the hot hand and they played to it. That's what's so good about that team. They know how to share the ball.

John Salmons

He's finishing better than he was earlier in the season. His defense was 100 times better than the last time we played Michigan.

Thad Matta

Darien's an excellent team. I can't say anything bad about them. Darien played twice as better tonight than the team we saw in the first two games. They were deeper, stronger, more physical and faster tonight.

Brian Kunzmann

I played a lot of good games, but that was the best one. It was the most inspirational one, because we didn't want to lose.

Ray Hall

I'm proud of the way our kids played. They played as hard as they could, and that's something we ask them to do all the time.

Nick Greenwell

Going to camps with Noelle Quinn, I always thought she's the best player I've ever played against. She is the Magic Johnson of our game. She can do it all.

Katie Gearlds

One thing I want us to do is be fresh, because we've played a lot of games in the last month-in-a-half. I want our guys to be focused and ready to go and fine tune some things.

Dennis Ruedinger

A.J. played really well today. He's an unbelievable hitter, and he was great on the mound today.

Clair Costello

She had me running all day ... she played a smart game.

Flavia Pennetta

Mallory Warren played a very aggressive and outstanding game. It was just a great win for us. Amber and Hannah played extremely well.

John Breeding

Just the way we gave up the goals, mistakes that we couldn't clear. It was like there were three different teams at one point out there. It was an all-around performance — nobody played up to their expectations.

Luis Carmona

The girls really wanted that second game. We played some good defense in that game.

Don Noorda

I thought Andrew played exceptionally well. When the lights went on, T.J. had his best practice of the year so far.

Brian James

This is an honor that is long overdue. He played middle linebacker like a man among boys. Harry was a warrior who led by example. He was a great player and a great team leader. Harry didn't back down from anybody or any challenge. He was very good ... Now it's safe to say he was great, because he's finally in the Hall of Fame.

Carl Banks

We didn't shoot well all night and that eventually led to our demise. We held them to 56 points and played well enough defensively to win.

Donald Dupree

Obviously they are all big from here on out. Hopefully we can build off this and put a few wins together. We just played such consistent basketball in the second half.

Dee Romine

We had a lot of play calls for Chris and were trying to get him the ball, but they played great defense. Every time Chris got the ball, they were right in his face, so he really couldn't get anything off.

C.j. Watson

If we'd played like that all match we would have won.

Morten Olsen

I think we played better football than Waterhouse, but one mistake saw us go behind. Things were not going well for us, we got no calls and we got a lot of early cards.

Anthony Thompson

I'm really happy for them. They've worked really hard and we've played a tough schedule.

Joe Kinch

It was a very good game and I thought the kids played hard. I know that if we could just get that first goal, a second one might come a little easier. I was just hoping that the goal would come sooner.

Peter Gardner

We'll take the split after the way we played in the first game. We'll bounce back. We just want to have a chance to win it at the end of the season.

Chad Logan

These kids, they stayed the course. They played hard for us all year long and they were rewarded for it.

Lenny Smith

In this game there are so many rules favoring the offense. To see a little defense being played is a good thing.

Derrick Brooks

The seniors really played hard tonight. They did everything I asked and they just didn't get it done tonight.

Kevin Burbach

We've played them twice and they've been relatively competitive games. We know they're the number one team in our region. We're not intimidated.

Mark Hanks

It's kind of nice to see Minnesota as an opponent because we know who they are. We've played them before. We've been going through their stuff and we feel pretty confident about how we're going to defend them.

Breanne Watson

He was a baby when I played.

Stump Mitchell

It's the best road game we played as far as effort goes. We played a full game instead of just playing a half.

Mark Walters

We got caught watching the puck and it ended up in the back of our net. We played hard and we had enough chances to score tonight, but we have to eliminate leaving our goalie high and dry.

Mark Bell

I don't know of any employer, even if it's the NFL, who judges a kid based on whether he played in front of 70,000 or 15,000. You're evaluated based on your ability to help an organization.

Dennis Thomas

We had the lead almost the entire game, but they just took it back at the end. They just clawed back and they're the type of team that if you give them an inch, they'll go after it. We played hard and we played well.

Liz Leonard

It's a good start for us tonight. We want to win hockey games. We're not going to make any excuses about the way we played. We're just going to try to play better.

Matthew Barnaby

It was an awesome match. The girls played at a great level and I couldn't be prouder in our first match of the season. They fought every step of the way.

Barbara King

Our defense kept bending and bending and giving up things here and there, but they never really broke. I thought that showed a lot of perseverance in the way they played.

Shawn Berner

We played Dumas and lost to them (61-57) in the regional. We're just glad to get to play another day.

Roy Backus

I don't know if they can carry Brandon's load, but they are two tough young men. Jason was nervous in the first half [against Hopewell], but he played awesome in the second half.

Blanda Wolfe

They played tough, and we played tough. One team had to win, and one team had to lose. That's tough on us, because we had a great season.

Pete Cinella

We played with a lot more intensity in the second half. I had some things to say to some of them, and I think maybe I made them mad. Sometimes they play better when they're mad.

Lin Laursen

We pressed, we ran, we played good, hard defense. These kids did everything I asked them to. They played with the heart of a lion, we just didn't come out with the result that we wanted.

Lorraine Moylan

Our goalie really stepped it up. Last few games he hasn't been getting many shots, but he played great tonight.

Alex Merry

We were geared up. We played with a lot of emotion and energy, and our defense was outstanding. Once we saw we could get a game from them, we just grew more and more confident as the night went on. Playing against a top conference opponent inspired us, and this game showed to me that we can be a force in the conference this year.

Dan Friend

Paul really played nice in net. He made some big saves.

Joel Cormier

Mike has played great. One thing we noticed in practice is his competitiveness. He's not afraid to go in and battle for rebounds. He's picked things up quickly.

Jamey Collins

(The win) was much needed. We played well in spurts, got kind of relaxed, but pulled out the victory.

Terry Beauford
