The fourth quarter was one of the strongest fourth quarters that we've ever had.

Chu Woosik

Clearly, ATI has had challenges in the last couple of quarters.

David Orton

They've had strong quarters before, especially the first quarter. Historically, that's been one of their strongest quarters. But whether this can be sustained, that's the next challenge.

David Lum

We play each game quarter by quarter, and Clark had a huge third quarter. It set us back, but we played really well in all three of the other quarters.

Brian Divelbliss

It's not like we didn't game plan for it. We just didn't tackle well. They made plays in between there (the middle quarters) and we didn't.

John Donnelly

The first three quarters was the team we knew we were capable of being all year long. The last four minutes of the fourth quarter was more of the team we were like in the middle of January and first part of February.

Chad Cruthis

(Topsail) didn't have the size to compete with us inside and we got the ball inside really well the first three quarters. That was probably the difference in the game.

Bob Murphrey

I told the point guards between the third and fourth (quarters) to push the ball. We had the opportunity to push the ball up the floor and we did.

Darla Crawford

It was very close for the first three quarters.

Max Bailey

Once the flow of the game went through three quarters and it was nip and tuck, we knew it was going to go down to the end.

Jeff Schaffer

We were really good for three quarters and five minutes. The last seven minutes we weren't very good on defense or offense.

Mark Elston

I was pleased with how the guys executed in the first and third quarters especially. We showed a lot of intensity, especially on the defensive end, and that was the difference for us tonight.

Dave Hollenbeck

We played bad for three quarters, but the girls hung in there, played hard and played well. It was a good game.

Don Bogan

We put four good quarters together, which we haven't been able to do all that much so far this year.

Shawn Woodward

We came out and executed very well for three quarters tonight. On offense, we were able to get the ball inside to Charlie (McCormick) and Adam (Benet) and defensively we were able to deny the passing lanes.

Jason Harlow

If you give up after three quarters, you don't have a chance to win.

Jim Schneider

Coming out the third quarter and having some success is something we've really talked about. We've told the guys they always need to play hard, but the first and third quarters in particular.

Brian Meny

(Bayne) was struggling the first three quarters, then in the fourth quarter and the three overtimes he scored 17 points.

Delbert Tengan

The company had a few bad quarters, but it seems to have turned a corner.

James Harper

We're three quarters through implementing incident management throughout our group.

David Slyderink

We've been so close, it's been so frustrating in the first five weeks. We told our kids that it was very important for us to really play well. On the offensive line, we told them we just wanted to make it into a street fight for four quarters. They did a good job of that.

Mike Sabins

We played well for three quarters and just got in a hurry there in the fourth. We made some mistakes but regrouped down the stretch.

Aaron Mattox

I told him if he heard any cracks to give me a wave. We heard a crack at one point but nothing happened. I got about three-quarters of the way across and it just went. It went down like there was no bottom.

Bill Aulie

We played three quarters of basketball. Unfortunately you've got to play four. We did the same thing up there and it was the same quarter that got us.

Scott Miles

The main point though is that output growth has now been below trend for five quarters and we can't see that changing over the next year or so.

Philip Shaw

We're able to pick up man-to-man full court, three-quarters court, and that's been a key to our season so far is our defensive intensity. The guys who have come in off the bench have really given us a lift throughout the year.

Freddy Johnson

We played so well and so hard for the first three quarters. When they put the pressure on in the fourth quarter, I think that, mentally, we were so tired from having played so hard that we couldn't handle it.

Dan Spranger

They've had such monster first quarters for the last couple of years, so that has created a difficult comparison.

Tim Ramey

Companies are as optimistic as they have been for the last five quarters over which we've seen job gains. Hiring intentions are holding at a high level.

Jeffrey Joerres

I give Central all the credit in the world. They battled. They put four quarters together. We know we're always going to get Central's best effort. They were prepared tonight and played hard. We beat a good basketball team.

Nick Lowe

I don't want to lose in the quarters again, so I told myself we had to tough it out. I just played point-by-point and we were able to win the match.

Ryan Zimmerman

Overall, companies are topping estimates by about two percent, which is below the long term average of 3.2 percent and the average of the last 8 quarters, which is 5 percent.

John Butters

We got into an offensive sync in the second and third quarters.

Scott Chaffee

If we have to go another four quarters right now, I guarantee this whole team will go out there and play another whole game right now if they had to.

James Hargrave

Four quarters both ways! Are you up for that?

Tom Barrett

ATI has had challenges in the last couple quarters and we are obviously disappointed with our performance and our ability to predict the dynamics of our desktop channel business.

David Orton

An ugly win is better than a pretty loss. We didn't play as well as would have liked in the first half, but we picked up the intensity in the last two quarters.

Chris Whitt

I really don't feel like it was a loss. We were able to compete with one of the best teams in the conference. We took them to five quarters. I'm not upset; I'm really happy.

Terry Beauford

Living quarters is as challenging as we've ever seen. The reality is we have all these folks that have been displaced ... and a lot of folks coming in to help.

John Wiscaver

The Fact that our economical models at The Fed, the best in the world, have been wrong for fourteen straight quarters, does not mean they will not be right in the fifteenth quarter.

Alan Greenspan

We've got to finish quarters strong and in the fourth quarter we have to play our best basketball.

Rodney Jones

I'm sure (Public Storage) expected it. It's been their pattern for the last bunch of quarters.

Paul Adornato

Brand building has been a hallmark in recent quarters and continued internal growth indicates the model's success.

Jonathan Feeney

In order for consumer electronics sales to be robust over the next three to four quarters, we need to see a pick up in the economy and in the jobs market.

Todd Kuhrt

Clark has a three-quarters delivery that seems to give him good movement. I think we will see some good pitching this weekend.

Arnold Gonzalez

Since we can't increase supply, you have to dampen demand. Over the next week to 10 days, prices are going to dramatically increase at the pump. Consumers are going to be very angry and frustrated. You're looking at not pennies, not nickels, but quarters - more than one.

Larry Goldstein

What I was looking for was a lot of energy and we had that, especially in the second and third quarters. We utilized our presses, found one we liked and came out with a good third quarter.

John Triplett

We basically had fairly steady decline in corporate profit growth for the last six quarters or so. I think people are starting to get worried about that now.

Melissa Brown

The reported numbers in the past few quarters have only increased our concerns about tightening liquidity.

Ravi Suria

I thought that our effort wasn't there in the first three quarters, finally they put forth the effort in the fourth and really cut into the lead. We made a decent comeback, but at that point it was a little too late.

Sean Stewart

A lot of people were starting to doubt us and we knew we had to show them Bearcat basketball. We needed to put together four quarters. We hadn't done that all year.

Indy Uhlenhopp

The question is: will it be six or eight quarters of undersupply? It depends on when people really start to invest in capacity in a serious way.

Malcolm Penn

They don't have a deep bench and we knew that they were going to come at us with a little more fire (in the second half). You can't play (like we did in the first quarter) for all four quarters. We knew it. We talked about that at halftime.

Gary Capaldi

We played hard all night. We played with intensity and we played a great four quarters. We kept working and we won a huge game for us.

Andres Nocioni

We still expect our greatest earnings growth during the second and third quarters. The fourth quarter is expected to be a loss, but it will not be as large of a loss as last year.

Terry Crews

EarthLink, once again, achieved strong financial results with one of our most profitable quarters on record.

Garry Betty

M&A in insurance was bleak this quarter. Equity market jitters combined with accounting and reserve issues will likely keep M&A sluggish for the next couple of quarters.

Bjorn Turnquist

Close quarters, poor hygiene. It just makes for a hotbed of infection in day-care centers. Preschool kids have a high level of (flu) transmission, and they bring it home.

John Brownstein

We've been through a couple of quarters with a lot of uncertainty around the subscriber numbers, so the last thing I want to do is put out a number that is a stretch.

Cfo Dennis Kavelman

The figure depends on how the cuts are delivered. No one is really expecting the full 2 million barrels per day to be delivered, but somewhere around three-quarters of those cuts is what the market is looking for.

Joseph Stanislaw

As we go into the second and third quarter ... those are traditionally slow quarters.

Bob Swan

Avian influenza has definitely impacted the demand for poultry in the international market and caused poultry prices to weaken, particularly leg quarters.

Farha Aslam

We have to establish the run early and play all four quarters. We have to finish strong.

Steve Specht

Unfortunately, it appears that most funds use a June 30 fiscal year. So what they're doing is comparing our figures with people who took advantage of the next two quarters that had very good investment returns.

Tom Mann

I have mixed emotions. We battled for three quarters but they made a little run in the fourth and we got frustrated.

Jon Brown

It's frustrating to play hard and play well for three quarters and then freeze up in the fourth. I hate to use the word 'choke,' but we really need some guys who can penetrate and find gaps instead of just passing the ball around the perimeter looking for a 3-pointer.

Dominick Romero

Starts at year-end 2003 will provide additional support for GDP during the first two quarters of 2004 as construction activity gradually brings these buildings to completion.

Sherry Cooper

These issues are going to be with us for the next few quarters.

Ned Barnholt

This quarter's performance was the result of the focus we've done in making ourselves a digital signal processing company.

Thomas Engibous

This was the best four quarters he's played all season long. He just played like he wanted the ball when the game was on the line.

Brian Bechtel

Our kids responded well. They have answered when we have needed it this year. We played for four quarters. We play with our hearts.

Mike Settles

Olympia Jacobs was dealing with a bad foot and sat out the first three quarters, but came in and really sparked us (in the fourth quarter). We were hoping to get through it without her, but we got into some foul trouble and lost the lead. She only scored three points, but her defensive energy got everyone going.

Duwaine Ganskie

We came out intense and aggressive, ... That was one of the best first quarters I've seen from an Ionia basketball team.

Andy Barr

It was a plug. What drove that number was the 41 cents, based on where all the other business units landed their quarters.

Wesley Colwell

Late in the third and fourth quarters we just had too many turnovers and let them get into the game. We had 20 turnovers against a good team, and that was our downfall.

Darren Mathews

We don't see any turnaround. We're not at a bottom, and it's going to take a couple [of] quarters, ... From that perspective, we think Cisco's guidance was right on.

Paul Sagawa

We were in the quarters last year too and we hope that now we can go a little bit further. Even if tonight's result won't mean anything in the next round.

Florent Malouda

The more important development more recently was the tax cut that was enacted over the weekend, which will provide some pretty good support for consumer spending over the next few quarters.

Henry Willmore

We came out with a lot of energy in the third quarter and got a lot of buckets off our defense. J.B. and James had big quarters, but we got some great defensive play from guys like Charles Davidson and Paul Collamer. We forced a lot of turnovers in that quarter.

Damon Artery

It's the worst feeling in the world. Luckily there wasn't five quarters in that football game because that's a big-time momentum change.

Josh Miller

You don't want to go backwards. The bottom five or six (players) got to play two, two and a half quarters.

Bob Sulek

Our focus was putting four quarters together. We came pretty close.

Matt Prisk

In the third and fourth quarters we spread them out a little bit and were more patient. We caught them in some screens and some switches and were able to get some easy baskets.

Lance Huber

Investors perhaps were disappointed that profits didn't beat estimates, even by just a little bit. Actually, this is the first time after eight straight quarters that Amazon didn't beat expectations.

Dan Geiman

That boy's got some serious feet. He can run, no doubt about it … I think we handled him a little better in those last quarters, but he's got some speed.

Alec Gunn

We believe the impressive top-line growth the company has achieved in recent quarters will be tough to sustain going forward.

Laura Champine

What companies report now is less influential than what they say about future quarters.

Douglas Altabef

It was a good three quarters of an hour after before I could see it.

Anthony Lucas

Part of it is to give the starters a rest. The other part is to get the others more quarters and get them into the flow of the game.

Shawn Baumgartner

We still have a lot to deliver in the upcoming quarters when the majority of our annual income is earned, but we feel very good about our start to the 1999 year.

Robert Morrison

They played us a zone the entire game and it took us a few quarters to get used to that.

Demond Garth

We scored only 10 points and had 20 turnovers in the first two quarters. That isn't going to get it done.

Todd Mcgee

They just beat last quarter's (earnings) forecast and raised their guidance.

Derrick Johnson

We match up with them well, but we got to put four quarters together instead of just two.

Bud Hendrix

We told the guys coming in that their pressure was going to be the key and fourth quarter their pressure got to our guards and we didn't get the ball inside like we did the first three quarters.

John Artinger

(Thursday night) we reported a very good first quarter. In the parade of Eastman first quarters, this was the second best in a decade and was only overshadowed by the best quarter in our history, which was a year ago.

Brian Ferguson

I feel a lot better about Y2K [than in previous quarters]. I don't think we'll see any Y2K issues on the carrier side of the business. The enterprise side is a little more mixed. The larger corporations are in good shape. The smaller companies are a bit more mixed.

John Roth

Scrapping hardware that is three-quarters complete is, I think, sinful.

Preston Burch

We've played them twice and we won both games, but in the same sense, it's been a battle. I don't think anybody's been ahead by 10 points in either game. It's just been back and forth and both teams battling. Friday night is going to be exactly the same. It's going to be four quarters and 32 minutes of hard basketball.

Dave Kerschbaumer

Quarters From Kids Who Care.

Jane Martin

I think the earnings thing was the big thing. And even before that figure was announced, the earnings for the year had been downgraded from above $5 a share for the past two quarters.

Sharon Doering

Our goal was to win three of the four quarters. If we win the first three quarters, we believe the fourth quarter is ours. The first quarter is crucial but the second is more crucial because we had to come out strong.

Randy Chartrand

You have to give North credit. They are the defending champion and they came out and played a good game. We just played two quarters tonight.

Milton Galloso

I don't think we played anywhere close to our best. These kids don't know what their full potential is. We haven't put together four quarters in a game. They realize that and know they need to keep working hard in practice.

Derrick Gibson

Hopefully, it won't take me two quarters to get going this time.

Luis Castillo

We played them well for three quarters and then they went off in the fourth. We missed some easy baskets in the fourth and didn't get the stops we needed on defense.

Shane Robinson

We just didn't have a good first half. Our problem has been inconsistency to put four quarters together all season long, and that's been our downfall.

Dave Newton

This does not change our positive view on the stock, as we expect sequential operating improvements in the next quarters, particularly from the chemical division. We also believe that Alfa should benefit from a weaker peso.

Luis Miranda

Nortel's results had one big surprise. Optical revenue declined sequentially. Ouch! Optics is Nortel's growth engine and it has been growing at over 20 percent sequentially in previous quarters.

Tom Astle

We stayed with them the first three quarters but we ran out of gas. I'm proud of the way they played. I thought they did a nice job against one of the best teams in the league.

Christina Dahl

We came out tentative for the first three quarters.

Doug Galloway

The index has therefore moved to a higher level and instead of falling sharply as it has always done in the past, has remained at a higher level for five consecutive quarters. This seems to suggest a sustained, long economic expansion.

Cees Bruggemans

The products are getting better in Detroit, but it takes a lot longer than a few quarters or even a few years to win over or win back people's trust.

Dan Gorrell

The first quarter our girls did everything right and we were only down by one. After that, for some reason, we just forgot how to play basketball. We stopped playing defense and stopped blocking out. If we had just played four quarters like (the first), it would be a different story.

Joe Myers

We had a good balance tonight in our scoring and we really played well defensively the final three quarters.

Ken Grisdale

I think we're heading into a phase where we could be peaking. We're certainly getting better. I don't think we've topped off playing our best basketball yet. We certainly haven't put four quarters together, but we're certainly playing well.

Tony Bisutti

The positive numbers still mean that optimists are outnumbering pessimists, even when companies consider the two quarters ahead.

Atsushi Takeda

We'll have to see how the next several quarters play out before we see if investment is returning to former levels.

Randy Stone

I was pleased with the kids effort tonight. We were good defensively all four quarters, which is what we need.

Lori Blade

It's been quite hectic. Through the generosity of local businesses, namely Wal-Mart, Kentucky Fried Chicken, and Plum Creek Cleaners, as well as school children from District 22, and a host of Dawson County residents and others in surrounding counties, we were able to help the families furnish their living quarters and obtain food and clothing.

Diane Adams

That was a game that we were going to have to play extremely well the entire game to win, and we played fairly well for three quarters. Part of the fourth quarter was fatigue. Too few were doing too much. We just made mistakes. We were stretched very thin.

Mike Hidde

I'm proud of the way our kids competed for four quarters. We finally put together four quarters of intense basketball against a good team and I think we're making progress in the right direction.

John Schnieders

In five of our games we were so far ahead that he was on the bench. His numbers could be even better if he played all four quarters in those games. He plays with no fear and will expose his body if he needs to. He's very tough physically and mentally.

Keith Simons

We played four solid quarters of football.

Pat Wozniak

We expect the business environment for Creative to remain tough at least for the next two quarters. Demand is only expected to pick up for the year-end Christmas sales.

Jonathan Ng

It really doesn't matter who we play, all the teams are going to be good at this level. We just have to come out and play like we did (last Tuesday). We have to stay focused and play four quarters of basketball.

Chris Savage

When we do these cat clinics, we have cats everywhere. We have a very efficient operation, but it's very tight quarters.

Mimi Beadles

We couldn't buy a shot in the third. I feel like we outplayed them in the other quarters. I definitely look forward to seeing them down the road in the playoffs.

Andy Harmon

They both played four solid quarters.

Joe James

I thought we competed the last three quarters but in the first quarter we did not compete, we participated and that's not acceptable.

Dwayne Casey

No. No. It's the preseason. You make mistakes, you learn, you move on. That's why they call it preseason. It's exhibition games. I'm going to get better. The starting point was 1 1/2 quarters of football. I've had a great training camp, so I'm not going to say that 1 1/2 quarters is going to count for everything.

Chad Hutchinson

We've talked about what we have to do to be in the upper echelon in the West, and beating Calgary is one of those things. We haven't completed 60 minutes in a game and we need to get four full quarters in.

Bob Hamley

They have to stop me one time. That's it. One time to bat a ball down within four quarters. That gets them a check in their box.

Chad Johnson

Art is an important part of the garden and it's great fun. We show 80 pieces by 20 artists and sell three-quarters of them. It's the fusion of the art and the garden that does it. Our goal is to find homes for all this art.

Kevin Doyle

This is one of those really frustrating games. We played very well for three quarters and half of the fourth quarter. We just couldn't finish though, and that has been a problem all season. We have to learn how to finish.

Jon Monti

Our defense fell apart for one quarter, but after that, we played them pretty even. If we had played all four quarters like we did the first, we would have been fine.

Dave Heaverly

The girls played a good game for four quarters. We competed to the end.

Tom Heithoff

I think crude has been overpriced for the last 12 to 18 months. I think all parties understand the situation. They're going into a seasonal increase in the fourth and first quarters, and they're anticipating an increase in demand.

Gene Gillespie

South Africa is currently in the longest upward business cycle since 1945, having experienced 28 consecutive quarters of positive growth.

Brand Pretorius

We've had some good moments, just not complete efforts. I felt the kids played hard for four quarters. It was probably the most complete effort of the year, no doubt.

Dan Boyd

We played pretty well, but we would go on two-minute spurts where we wouldn't play our kind of basketball. It was a good ball game. They went on a 12-5 run in the fourth quarter and that was the difference. I thought we played well enough to win for three quarters.

Tj Bailey

That was certainly a little more excitement than I was hoping for. We took care of the ball very well for three quarters, but then we got a case of the nerves. We'll try to fix that before tomorrow.

Lonnie Starks

We've got to do that for four quarters.

Brad Fuhrer

The kids that we had out there tonight have never given up. They have fought hard all year long and they have never quit. They give it four quarters every game, and they did the same again tonight.

Chad Perkins

This quarter's results, a robust innovation pipeline, and good progress on the Gillette integration, give us the confidence to raise the earnings outlook for the fiscal year.

A.g. Lafley

I was really sad to lose in the quarters. But it wasn't like I played horrible the last day. I learn so much playing with men. I just pick small things up subconsciously.

Michelle Wie

At least half, probably about three-quarters of pregnancies that are generated will be lost.

Jonathan Hill

Our biggest advantage is that we're going to wear them out. It might be close for three quarters, but in the fourth we're going to have fresh people and we'll get on them.

Brad Franchione

This team played lights out for three quarters, but there was always one quarter of almost every game where it wasn't so good. But I have to say that we had a lot of fun and I was impressed at how they played as a team.

Kyle Gordon

It was one of those games where we got up a little, then they dragged it back. That happened in the second and third quarters, but we pulled away in the fourth.

Brian Musty

The North and Northeast submarkets of Austin have seen limited new industrial product in the last couple quarters. This has had a positive effect on the occupancy in the area as well as rental rates.

Mark West

The boys are excited. When we do put four quarters of basketball together, we're a pretty decent team.

Craig Shoemaker

We've always opted to go to turf because it's a nice setup for the kids. In the quarters, they should have a nice facility to play on.

Bill Hudspith

Romania has a distinctive smell on its own, ... You're in confined places with guys. ... I don't think there's too much body deodorant in Romania. It was definitely an experience as far as being in tight quarters with a lot of people, grown men.

Cole Hauser

You're going to see good profit growth over the next several quarters, but it's not going to be as strong as it's been of late. Still, it will be better than a poke in the eye.

Paul Kasriel

One good shot from the opposition (centre guard) and that's all they needed to win. We had to hit at least three-quarters and it hung straight. That's curling.

Kelly Wood

The improving job market in the past few quarters has reinforced consumer confidence both in their own job security as well as in the state of their personal finances. Hong Kong people are more willing to put their hands in their pockets now.

Amy Lee

We played even with them in the second and third quarters.

Lance Luitjens

We lost our emotion and zip in the second and third quarters. It just wasn't there tonight.

Ryan Crawford

Unfortunately we didn't play the way we needed to the first three quarters. We dug ourselves a hole and it was a little too big to get out of. The girls didn't quit, though. They got themselves in a position to win it at the end if a few things would have gone our way.

Lance Luitjens

Cisco front-loaded several quarters of costs into one quarter in order to make its gross margins look better.

Ariane Mahler

For three quarters we did a lot of great things. Sometimes you win the game early. I think that's what we did.

Vic Wolffis

In the past, bedrooms were generally considered to be quarters of the house intended for privacy. While giving a tour of your home the master bedroom was often excluded, but not any more. Overall, bringing the bedroom into the spotlight is one of the hottest trends in the design industry.

Johanna Alperin

Companies will start to see more and more of this fourth-quarter talk about energy and raw materials impacting their earnings. Earnings and the economy may slow down in the third and fourth quarters.

Barbara Marcin

I feel like we are going to be successful running the football. What we haven't done yet is play a full game. We haven't played with the same intensity for four quarters yet. If we have any hopes of being in this playoffs we have to win this one for sure.

Andy Ringstaff

We come ready, but we have times when we're shut down. We have to play four quarters.

Tommy Coleman

On average, consumers have anticipated changes in the unemployment rate three quarters in advance of the actual change.

Richard Curtin

Reggie certainly had a fantastic game throwing and running the football and really only played 2 1/2 quarters to accomplish all of that.

Dennis Franchione

He's earned the award. The company has done well, the stock has done well. They've delivered clean quarters since he's come aboard. He's had an opportunity to stretch a bit, and make his mark.

Joanne K. Wuensch

I think something plain and simple and not too busy. If you notice all these quarters here, we have a big depiction here, only have a small little quarter that we're going to be putting the design on.

Greg Hunt

We got off to a fast start. But East wouldn't let us go away and hide. We didn't play particularly well in the last three quarters, so it's good we got off to the good start. Coach (John) Johnston's players played hard all night.

Rick Wood

It's been six quarters of surprising on the upside. If people expect on the high end of the range, anything else will move people off the stock.

Andrew Speller

The (Sailors) gave a good effort and played four quarters. We'll just come back next week and step it up with Cambridge.

Chris Gardner

I thought we played excellent defense in the first half and that really set the tone. We shot the ball extremely well and did a good job on the boards. I was proud of our guys for giving a strong effort for four quarters.

Mike Pardon

It's four quarters of basketball, you know? The first two quarters, the jitters were in us. We were kind of nervous playing in front of that big crowd. But Coach (Lamont Bryant) kept telling us, 'Don't change anything. What we've been doing has got us down here.' Everyone followed through.

Patrick Beverley

These sales declines will result in significant markdowns, which will be booked in the third and fourth quarters.

James Zimmerman

They've been our two main players all year long. Now we just have to get them to play together for four quarters.

Karin Leary

The fourth-quarter results continued the trend from previous quarters, however the integration of the truck companies had a positive effect on earnings.

Leif Johansson

We played three good quarters of football. They made the plays and came up with 14 points in the fourth quarter. It is disappointing.

Steve Warner

They competed in the fourth quarter they way I'd want them to in all four quarters.

Kris Salonen

We've got to learn to come out and play hard at the beginning of games. We have to play hard for all four quarters.

Dino Simoni

The only way to give satisfaction in all these quarters is by inspiring his men to win more cricket matches than they lose.

Ted Dexter

This is the first quarter in a long time where you will see year-over-year comparisons that are negative. And we'll probably see results for most of the quarters in 2005 being down on a year-over-year basis.

David Trone

He had never seen a corn dog, much less tasted one. It took him three quarters to eat one, and then he ate three.

Keith Jackson

We just flat-out didn't play well in the second quarter that night. It will be the same focus against Roosevelt - we've got to play four solid quarters to win.

Kent Kolsrud

We played pretty well defensively for those first three quarters, and we kind of value that. Once we get a stop, we try to get something good.

Sean Dillon

We were trying not to give them time to set up a defense, and we pushed the ball really well in the first and second quarters.

Colleen Wells

They were really athletic. It was tough to move the ball on them. We really played well in the first quarter, but unfortunately, they were the better team for three quarters.

Dustin Bainter

We are still playing inconsistently. We played with great intensity in the fourth quarter. We need to play with that level of intensity for four quarters instead of one.

John Maxey

It looks like we're going to see the same thing we saw in the last two quarters of (2005) when it was improved from a year earlier.

Jim Rhein

They were missing shots, rather than us playing good defense. We were talking about that between [the first and second] quarters. Had they made those little shots, they would have had a lead on us. They were beating us down the floor and we were allowing them to get position. Fortunately for us, the shots didn't fall for them.

Tom Ferrier

We are delighted with our strong earnings, particularly recognizing both the increased market competition as well as the quarter's volatile markets.

Christos Cotsakos

What's pushing these figures is domestic demand, with a major contribution from investment, which means productive capacity should continue growing in the coming quarters.

Joseph Ramos

We won three quarters and lost the ball game.

Milt Travis

Defensively, we were pretty solid over all four quarters. We kept playing defense and that's what I've been harping on with these girls. You keep playing defense, the offense is going to come eventually. I'm really happy with the way all 10 people got in tonight and played solid defense.

Port Arthur played good man to man defense for four quarters, but we managed to outscore them. I expected us to use this game to get over the christmas break, which we did. We played hard.

You can't read this [GDP] report and expect it to translate into a good report tomorrow. Employment is a lagging indicator, so it will be at least two quarters, or maybe even four quarters, before better growth numbers translate into better jobs numbers.

They are one of our main rivals and we wanted to beat them because we had previously lost to Hesperia (Christian). We played well for three-quarters of the games and then would lose it at the end.

Expectations are very high for both companies and it does worry me. After having relatively good quarters, the companies will probably want to be conservative.
