Dick Wilcox

I didn't think my girls reacted very well and they weren't motivated to play the second half. We always have a three- or four-minute spurt in a game where we just zone out so we really need to work on that.

Bethany Irwin

What we were hoping is we'd run them and maybe they'd be tired in the fourth quarter, but I think they got some kind of spurt late. I think us missing foul shots rejuvenated them.

Tom Tennett

This is a classic David and Goliath match up. We've played three good quarters each time and then we'll have a breakdown in a quarter. We'll play poorly for a two or three-minute spurt, and we can't recover.

Casey Higgins

I give Manteo credit for hanging in there the first half when it looked like they were out of it. They kept playing, and they had a little spurt there at the end of the first half, which kind of gave them some momentum.

Danny Ward

For the bench to play the way they did was humungous. We got 19 points from our bench tonight. In that second quarter, we had that spurt. We shot the ball really well tonight, the best we've shot all season.

It's all I've been playing all of my life. When I was a freshman in high school, I was a two guard, but then I had this growth spurt and they threw me down in the post as a sophomore.

Kids in Western cultures still hit that growth spurt in their teens. It happens just before they're ready to strike out on their own — if you're lucky.

Michael Gurven

We just don't have the ability to keep scoring in bunches. We can spurt early in the game, but it's hard for us to keep doing it. We are what we are.

Steve Kent

Usually coming out of a recession, you get a real spurt in productivity, which we got, but now things are settling down to what by historical standards are still very strong gains in productivity.

David Wyss

We shine in spots. We'll play well for a spurt and then we'll make a mental mistake along the line. So we really need to be more consistent at both ends of the field. If we can do that and limit the mental errors we're going to win our fair share of games.

Lori Johnson

I don't know what to tell you. I never could have envisioned something like this. I thought we would come out like gangbusters. We talked about being the aggressors, and I don't know if we had an aggressive spurt in us tonight.

Lois Heeren

I don't know what it was, but we played an excellent first half up until the last two minutes. Manteo did a good job in the second half getting some second and third shots, and they hung around until they got that spurt, and when they tied it and took the lead, we got a little tense.

Danny Ward

The second half, they came out and had a spurt and we took some uncharacteristic shots. They got some easy ones down at the other end.

We didn't get the stops and we didn't score. That little spurt hurt. We're not a very good offensive team.

Keith Richard

I was only 5-9 when I was 16 years old. But I had a growth spurt the summer after my junior year. My dad (Dave) was the same way. He grew six inches after his freshman year of college, but he played hockey. I did, too, when I was a kid, but basketball was always my first love.

Bryan Nelson

(Marshall) was great for us tonight off the bench. He gave us that spurt. And he was making some backbreakers towards the end of the game.

Jeff Bambule

I thought we did a better job of rebounding and turned it into a run. When we started keeping them from getting second chances, we were able to put together a spurt and spread the gap.

Brad Barton

We withstood that first spurt and then we got our bearings together and we were in the game towards the end of the first half there. And then they just went on that run and that was just an effort run. They just gave greater effort than we did, and that was the difference in the game right there.

Mike Burns

We expected the game to be physical. More intensity. Redwood wanted to take it from us. They did for a three-minute spurt but we recovered. I'll give Redwood credit, they played hard.

Mike Boles

Plenty of men can do good work for a spurt and with immediate promotion in mind, but for promotion you want a man in whom good work has become a habit.

Henry L. Doherty

For that short spurt that Buhl went on, the girls felt like the game was over. But the girls re-focused and calmed down. We had to look to other players to step up and score and they were doing that.

Brent Carnduff

They were shooting the ball extremely well. They controlled the game. Every time we'd make a spurt, they'd have an answer.

We survived this one. We're not clicking yet. We've had spurts and thank goodness we had a spurt at the end of the game.

The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one's real and one's declared aims, one turns as it were instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish spurting out ink.

George Orwell

We had a little spurt in the third quarter. We forced several turnovers and that got us up and made a little run there. That was probably the difference.

Shawn Almond

We got some spurts. We'd go out and have a good spurt and then lose a spurt. After halftime I thought we did a pretty good job. Stephanie Chapman did an excellent job. She held (Kayla) Price, who came in averaging about 17 a game, to two points. I thought that was a big key for us.

Tim Epley

We panicked a little bit after that spurt. We took some shots that were uncharacteristic of our team, and they got some easy ones on the other end.

Jim Frederick

I've seen a tremendous personal growth spurt. I see more of a calmness and a mature person.

Most of the 'Our Gang' cast grew up to be small people, for some reason. Gordon's growth spurt that pushed him out of the business continued until he was 6-foot-4, a really big guy.

Roger Gillette

If you cut off your arm instead of going 'spurt, spurt, spurt' wouldn't it, like, go nuts? Or would it go with the beat of your heart?....
