Comes with a lot of baggage. I hope he throws his baggage away before he really takes the reins of government in Israel.

Nabil Sha'ath

They did what we wanted to do. They got us in foul trouble and they got to the line and made free throws.

Clayton Randall

They hit 23 of 26 free throws and that was the difference. They just don't miss from the foul line.

Joel Rankin

It seemed like there was a lid on the basket. I'm sure we'll come in (today) and shoot some free throws.

Je'kel Foster

I had sort of a stinger, but it didn't affect my second-half throws. It was tough because we didn't move the ball as well as we would have liked. We could have done much better, but we didn't execute, and that's what's most frustrating.

Josh Betts

Give South Pike credit, they came ready to play. We had 20 of 39 free throws and had a chance to put it away and didn't do it.

Roy Pinkston

I suppose the revelation with us is we're going to be a side that throws the ball around a little bit and chances our hand. John [Mitchell] said he's not going to come down hard on us if we make mistakes trying things. So he's given us a bit of a free rein to play expansive football.

Matt Henjak

We've had a couple of games this year where we've missed free throws like that, so we gained a little confidence tonight.

Scott Briggs

Marshall always comes up big when we need him to. Every little thing we can do to win at the end of the game we do. Marshall really stepped up and knocked down those free throws at the end of the game.

Marco Killingsworth

I guess we made it kind of exciting in the fourth quarter. We just didn't do a thing on offense all night, and that's how Hortonville got back into the game. That and missed free throws. We got lucky tonight, that's about all I can say.

Greg Vock

We had our chances to win it, if we knocked down some free throws and made some better decisions. It was a fun game for everybody; they just made one more play than us.

Greg Tacon

Their role players did a good job for them early. Maybe if we make some of our free throws we could have kept it close going into the half.

Steve Meier

More scoring. That's what the league wants. Calling those fouls up front leads to more penetration, maybe more free throws. It's one way to get more points on the scoreboard.

Derek Fisher

We made some great plays and enough free throws down the stretch to maintain the gap.

Marty Bell

We're in the playoffs, and free throws are most important. You get to the line, you gotta make them.

Pop Williams

We just couldn't get anything going offensively. We had opportunities to win the game, but we missed free throws and we didn't handle the pressure. It was a frustrating night.

Mike Royer

He's a big guy (6-3, 205 pounds) that moves around like a shortstop, yet he swings the bat like a big guy. He's big, but he plays low when fielding ground balls, especially for someone his size. He moves laterally well and throws on the run well.

Walt Weiss

In the fourth it came down to us shooting our free throws. Fifteen out of our 17 points in the fourth were from free throws. Five of their players ended up fouling out.

Deidre Hinze

I always tell them free throws could make the difference. We had five or six one-and-ones (in the last few minutes). In reality, we should have been up by eight.

Sam Kenan

Uribe can't hit a guy who throws junk. And then he hits a triple against the toughest pitcher in baseball.

Ozzie Guillen

I thought they played very good defense on us. They hit their free throws very well, especially in the first half.

Dave Beebe

It came down to free throws. They made theirs (9-13) and we didn't make ours (8-21).

Bob Gonzalez

We were 12 of 13 on free throws in the fourth quarter. That was huge.

Wayne Cafferty

Jerod Walker keeps pushing the envelope on the quarterback position. He's a guy that pulls the ball down and makes plays. He is learning how and where to make the throws.

Brent Guy

Ray has his gun in his hand and he throws the guy on the floor. And he puts his feet on his back, by his shoulder and he said, 'Well, where's the money, man. Give me the money.' And the guy said, 'I don't know ... I don't have it.' Then he (Ray) just shot him in his back the first time. And the guy just screamed. And Mack told him, 'Kill him -- kill him if he doesn't tell us where the money's at.

Sonya Flores

He's one of those kids you like to have on your team. He throws strikes and he's a guy you trust with the ball in his hand. If he has any downfall it's that he probably throws too many strikes.

Travis Biggs

Good teams make their free-throws down the stretch, and you need to do that. That kept them at bay.

Mick Price

We were able to hit our free throws down the stretch.

Sara Williams

We wanted to attack. We shot 60 free throws against them the first time. But they are so tall and athletic ? and so long. We couldn't get any of those shots to go in around the basket.

Robbie Kennedy

It was a hard-fought battle between two teams. Lourdes came in very well prepared, the difference was we hit some free-throws down the stretch in the fourth quarter.

Kerry Koonce

It helps, but it doesn't solve the problem. It's after the fact. It's like me and you picking up trash after someone throws it.

Phillip Lee

It was like a big old bucket and I was just hitting them like they were free throws. I just felt relaxed.

Jason Mcelwain

We thought we had a shoo-in for the best rusher in the state. (Losing Aragon) just throws a lump in your throat.

Bobby Campos

Nick Flannery had a nice fourth quarter. We had a tough time containing him. We had too many turnovers down the stretch and they made their free throws.

Travis Sysko

We just wanted the game to be done. At the end there, we made some free throws and I finally smiled.

Jamie Braun

She throws the ball well when she pitches within herself. She has to try to get the ball over and limit the walks. We have a good fielding team.

Tim Hicks

Now that (the) playoffs started, that's all we do is run. Run and shoot free throws.

Jamel Guyton

Yeah. And every time he throws a Hail Mary pass it's gotta be a touchdown!

Mark Karmelich

He said he's a great talent and the hardest 180 pounds you'll ever play against and he certainly is. He throws his weight around a bit and is really solid driving to the net with a lot of speed and talent.

Luke Richardson

It's been fun to catch. He's just gotten so much better, more precise with all his pitches. Everything he throws is pretty dirty.

Jonathan Johnson

We made 16 of 19 free throws, but Assumption hit 21 of 26. That was the difference in the game.

Terri Keown

We hit 29-of-37 free throws in the game and did not panic when they made their run.

Chuck May

I was amazed at how good his hips were, and he already knew how to do all the throws. I was excited.

Jake Shulaw

They shot 46 free throws and we shot 20. That's a big difference to overcome.

Robert Corn

We shot a ton of free throws. We average about 55 percent from the line.

Shawn Baumgartner

Ted throws hard and has a great breaking ball. When he is on he is one of the best in the state.

Cory Miller

When I looked in Aaron's eyes during the timeout, I knew he would make those free throws. He looked very confident. We could have folded after Pisgah was ahead by two points and time running out, but our guys just wouldn't quit tonight, they wanted to win too much.

Tim Trantham

This was our most impressive win of the season. We showed tremendous poise down the stretch, hitting 8-of-9 free throws.

Ollie Goulston

Once again, she did a real good job controlling the game. She's real cool under pressure. She'll throw a ball if she needs to. (She) throws strikes. She doesn't get rattled if somebody hits the ball -- that's part of the game. She just does her thing and stays (in) real good control.

Nelson Mccullough

They just played a zone and we didn't shoot well from the outside. That was the difference in the game. We didn't shoot well and they made free throws (12-of-19) down the stretch.

Brent Liskai

I worked hard this summer on my right-hand jump hooks, my left-hand jump hooks, turnaround [jumpers], I want to continue to develop a 15-foot jump shoot and make my free throws, ... If I can do those things, I'll be putting up 15 and 10.

Brendan Haywood

The difference in this ball game was the free throws. You're not going to beat the No. 9 team in the nation on their floor shooting only three free throws.

Jeff Whitney

Ray finished it off with those free throws like I knew he would. I'm just glad I could help the team's goal of sending Ray out on a good note at home.

Joe Krabbenhoft

He's got an arm to where he can make all the right throws.

Mike Bobo

That's a huge drop in manufacturing... that throws that NAPM number in a less favorable light.

James Jackson

I thought they did a tremendous job of turning (the physical play) up and doing what they needed to do to make us struggle. But if we make our free throws down the stretch we win this game easily.

Mark Dubach

Down the stretch, that's what loses games for us, free throws and big rebounds. In practice we've been working on it, everybody's been coming in before and staying extra to work on what they need to work on.

Julian Sensley

Lauren took a bad fall and her arm felt a little numb. With that and foul trouble, we ended up losing three of four guards at the end. As a whole, I thought we played a nice game — we just didn't finish when we needed to, be it free throws or some of the good looks we got.

Ray Liberatore

I told the coaches, hands off until everybody throws at least one or two times. Let them relax instead of trying to make suggestions to guys we don't know yet. They get evaluated in games, so we don't want them to do anything that will interfere with their preparations.

Mark Connor

I missed a few (free throws) earlier in the game but I thrive under pressure. I would have been kicking myself for the rest of my life if I didn't make them.

Jordan Vickers

I don't feel we escaped. I still feel we played hard. We made our free throws. I don't think we played the way we wanted to play, but we still won.

Tony Lee

Down at the end, Abel came through with a big shot and Devon hit some big free throws. That's what you've got to do is hit free throw, especially at tournament time.

Brad Ranson

Against Lakeside (on Feb. 4), he hit three free throws at the end to clinch the win. It was a big victory for us.

Joffrey Bywater

I made some free throws, I've been working on that. I thought our inside play was really good.

Jamaal Magloire

Brady makes big throws. He's gotten smarter. He's buying into the system, and it's paying off.

Jeff Samardzija

They probably think that we don't miss free throws. We were 11 out of 11 last time we played, and for some reason we knocked them down tonight.

Jared Gobel

We had a great game plan. The defensive line had great pressure, and we were able to take advantage of it. I think toward the end of the game Ty got frustrated and made some bad throws he wouldn't normally make. We were in the right place at the right time.

Daylon Mccutcheon

This was a big win in terms of the district, but it's a big win any time you beat a good quality team on their home court. We had a nice fourth quarter and we hit a lot of free-throws at the end ... and you know, this is what high school basketball is all about. The crowd was into it and it was close all the way through, and it was just a great ball game.

Dr. Rick Weber

Why should I apologize because God throws in crystal chandeliers, mahogany floors, and the best construction in the world?

Jim Bakker

Other than that, he made some good throws. He missed a couple, but when you are throwing the ball more down the field vertically like we did today, those are harder to make. You're not going to make every one.

Tim Lappano

There were definitely some ups and downs. But I thought it was positive that we regained our composure and made some free throws at the end.

Karen Weitz

Give credit to our offense, too, for jumping on them quick. That made them force throws. We just so happened to pick off five of them.

Deltha O'neal

In big games, we'll need those free throws, so that's what we've been working on.

Camille Little

I don't think he's as strong as McCline, ... I understand he comes to fight and throws a lot of punches so I have to be ready.

Calvin Brock

She does a real good job. I think sometimes she throws too many pitches, but she likes to work the count.

Spencer Mitchell

We played one our better games of the year against a very tall and good shooting team. It really was closer than the score tells. They made some free throws at the end to build the lead.

Deke Routheaux

He threw mostly fastballs and mixed in a little curve. We just didn't hit the ball very well. He throws pretty hard, hit some good spots and got us to chase pitches a little bit.

Steve Rice

When Ari throws a pitch, I know where it is going to go.

Ashley Lewie

We hit some big shots in the fourth quarter. But we missed a lot of free throws which kept the game close. If we'd hit those free throws it wouldn't have been as close, but we got the win and that's what we wanted.

Dave Schmidt

We played a lot better tonight but we need to do a better job of shooting free throws. We would have liked to have been champions outright. We just have to take care of business on Friday.

Justin Morett

I thought we got impatient in the fourth quarter where we could have done a better job of extending the lead. It should have easily been a 12-14 point ball game, but we didn't convert on some free throws.

Ron Mcbride

I think people love throws because it's a quick way to update the room.

Laura Mcdowell

Shooting those 100 free throws every day definitely helped us. I just try to keep moving before I take my shot.

Christian Goetz

Horrible. It's been horrible the last three or four weeks. We are just not focusing. Hit our free throws and we win that game.

Matt Carter

LUMINARY, n. One who throws light upon a subject; as an editor by not writing about it.

Ambrose Bierce

Hallie hit some big free throws down the stretch to ice the victory.

Mychal Williams

We didn't do a lot of the little things like rebounding and making free throws. We just couldn't consistently put together 40 good minutes.

Cody Christensen

It was surprising to me because [shooting free throws] is focus and concentration. And with all the hype going on today, our team showed that we can concentrate and we can focus through almost anything.

Sharnee Zoll

They out-rebounded us in the second half. That's how they got back in the game. But we made our free throws down the stretch and it was really Nick Comstock who won the game for us.

Frank Rossi

Those were big foul shots. We weren't up by that much and he just kept walking up there and making free throws.

Chad Ambuehl

Things that have won games for us didn't happen tonight. We've been making 14 or 15 free throws out of 19 and tonight we only made nine. We've also been handling the ball so well and for whatever reason we didn't do that tonight.

Tom Catanzarite

We work on our free throws every day. I don't know, I guess free-throw shooting is boring. But I have read every book, watched every tape, and we still shoot 50 percent. I think maybe we'll stop for awhile.

Lonnie Bartley

We didn't play with any intensity, then we came alive. The difference was the free throws.

Deb Baber

Thank God, thank God! I didn't say anything to her but to go up and hit the free throws. Karla's a shooter.

Joli Robinson

Afton made a nice run to cut it to seven. We responded by being patient and getting easy buckets off their trap and making a lot of our free throws.

Matt Campbell

We went through some spells when we just couldn't score. We cut it to 3 and were right in it, but they stepped up and hit some big free throws.

Lea Herndon

Larger than the free throws was the backside rebound she got.

Bill Tomsich

They're not going to go away. They're talented, extremely well coached and they're not going to quit. This time, we made the shots and free throws we needed in the fourth quarter. Last time, we didn't.

Warner Dyke

We wanted to break him in like any other player. To get him ready defensively is very important. There are a lot of different throws, angles and distances. The good news is he's swinging the bat and running.

Bob Geren

There's going to be people looking at him, no doubt about it. He's left-handed, he's big and he throws strikes.

Scooter Dunn

We knew coming in that we could not turn the ball over and we had to rebound. We didn't know how important free throws would be. They haven't been in the last few games, but they were tonight.

Terri Gray

Their opponents are shooting a lot more free throws, and I hope that continues (today).

Mike Adras

We work on them hard enough. We ought to be decent. That's the way the game goes. You have to shoot free throws to win the game.

Floyd Griffin

They made more baskets than we did, but we made more free throws and that's what won the game.

Frank Rossi

You can look at those last two drives, but it comes down to ... penalties, dropped balls and bad throws, ... We were not very precise today as an offense.

Matt Baker

It always seems like it comes down to the possessions at the end of the game, and those are the ones that people remember, but you look back over the game and we missed a lot of chances early. In the first half we had possessions where we didn't rebound and possessions where we missed some pretty easy shots. Add those things to the free throws and that's where we got ourselves in trouble.

Paul Finley

Melody kept the ball down and had a lot of ground balls. ... I think the more she throws, the better she's going to get. She's getting better with every pitch.

Kelly Sears

After a game like that, to think we were one rebound away and we couldn't get it. I told the kids it comes down to free throws and rebounding.

Carl Mattei

[And his leading lady echoes that observation.] American men don't want to do comedy that makes them look silly or less masculine, ... But he has no fear. He throws himself into things. In fact, he threw himself out of a second-story window one day. He had the stunt me put down mats so everyone would laugh hysterically.

Reese Witherspoon

Eddie was disappointed that he missed those free throws but I told him that we wouldn't have had that chance (to win) if he didn't get that rebound.

Brian Ellis

We knew they had to foul down the stretch and shoot threes and make us miss. It was big to finish like that. It really started to sink in when I was shooting free throws. It's still sinking in. It's big. It's the 2A championship.

Kyle Coston

Castle Rock always plays us tough. They play hard-nosed defense. But I told the girls coming in, if we make our free throws we'll be alright.

Herm Vanweerdhuizen

We left too many free throws on the board (down the stretch). Turnovers in the second quarter came because we weren't playing well.

Mark Pixley

You don't want your season to end, but if has to end you want it to be here in Madison. They made big plays, we couldn't hit any free throws and the game fell their way today.

Tracy Palmer

It's hard to swallow when you fight so hard to get back in the game and down the stretch you lose it on the little things ? loose balls, key rebounds and free throws. It's always hard to lose games like that.

Stromile Swift

He's got a great arm. I think, physically, at this stage of the game, Chris weighs a little more than Adrian (McPherson) did and might, because of that, be able to make certain throws (McPherson couldn't).

Paul Maechtle

Maybe his accuracy might not be there in certain throws in certain directions, ... But he's a tough guy. The injury he has, a lot of guys might sit down and not play. But he's playing through it and you have to admire him for that.

Bhawoh Jue

I was throwing off my back leg sometimes, or I'm trying to run while I'm throwing. Just really a lot of situations where there weren't a lot of high-percentage throws.

D.j. Shockley

We got some help from them because they missed the free throws but we still had to make some shots ourselves.

Donnie Marsh

He paid a lot of dues to get where he is, and now there are a lot of doors open to him. The one he has chosen to walk through throws down a gauntlet. He has the good luck, the charm and the guts to do what he wants, and this film is what he chose to do.

David Strathairn

We got a little pay back, as they beat us by seven points in our gym. We came out of the blocks well, something that we haven't been doing, and shot well early. We made our free throws down the stretch and played good defense all game.

Mark Tinker

Free throws are one of those fundamental things we did not do well. We're basically all juniors and a sophomore, and we're learning. Every day is a learning experience. We don't like losing while we're learning, but tonight they just beat us start to finish.

Lawrence Thompson Jr

You have to incorporate these things into practice. It takes a lot of courage to make free throws, and that?s often what separates really good teams from average teams. You have to make it a point of emphasis.

Tom Crean

Every coach is going to tell you that they spend time working on free throws at practice, but we really do. Tonight we were able to make the most of our opportunities and then get the people that we want at the line to the line down the stretch.

Greg Taylor

We only shot 38 percent from the floor. We missed '12 free throws; we hit six out of 18. And we had 26 turnovers.

Kelly Hunkins

I haven't done that in awhile. It was twofold. First, we were missing our free throws. And it just seemed like we didn't get warmed up before the ballgame. It seemed like we were running in slow motion.

Lonnie Bartley

They took the ball to the basket and consequently, they shot a lot of free throws. But you can't blame it on the free throws.

Herb Williams

It was a good game by both teams. They jumped out ahead of us early. And then we came back. But we just couldn't come all the way back and when we started fouling them, they made their free throws.

Brandon Moore

Any overlay district throws up a red flag for concern and always affects value. When you have to tell people that it's in a contaminated overlay, it's going to kill you.

John Stephens

You're talking about a kid who's mature beyond her years. It's her toughness mentally and her ability to perform under pressure situations, including pressure free throws. She does things that a lot of freshmen just don't do.

Dave Magarity

We hurt ourselves more than they did anything to help themselves. It throws a lot of your game plan out the window when you have to play from behind like that.

Lebron James

I think he's one of the coolest guys ever to watch. I love everything about him. The way he plays the game. The way he throws the ball. He's not scared of anything. He'll throw three interceptions and go back out there and throw a 50-yard bomb with no fear. He's just fun to watch, and he has a cannon, too.

Doug Waechter

It felt like a playoff game -- the crowd was intense. Although the crowd was loud and everything, that made us come together as a team. We hit our free throws and kept our composure, and I'm happy about that.

Courtney Price

Those were amazing ? off our own free throws. Those were definitely big-time.

Carly Syverson

Carroll was awesome. She's been pitching well and stepping up her game. She fits right in on the varsity level. She's tall and looks very athletic out there and when she throws the ball, she's a real presence.

Laurie Markatos

Gibbs is our money free throw shooter. Down the stretch, there's not a guy on the team I'd rather have with the basketball in his hands than him. He's got ice in his veins and knocks those free throws down.

Mike Wright

They stepped up and made plays and made free throws. We had a lot of nice looks at the basket and didn't make shots. They did and we didn't.

Joe Voelker

(Parker) missed some free throws, but he put us on his shoulders and carried us. He had been struggling offensively for about a month, and it was good to see him get going.

Dave Benter

We were down two to start the overtime, but Kevin hit some free throws and we went up five. They hit a shot with three seconds left to cut it to three.

Chris Gallerani

Every year, we have a color that is building and building and getting much more acclaim. In 2005, it was orange. . . . It was in dishes, blankets, clothing, accent pillows, throws for sofas, vases. It was in your face everywhere.

Barbara Richardson

That's when we seemed to get focused, whenever that happens. Our kids have been in some tough, close games, and we realized if we get the ball in the right people's hands, we're going to make free throws down the stretch, and that's what we did.

Curt Dobbs

[He wants to be a starter in the NFL.] It's tough to look to the future, ... but I feel I have the talent to be a good starting quarterback in this league. Physically, I can make all throws I need to make, it's just a matter of doing it when the time presents itself.

Brooks Bollinger

(Linden) didn't shoot particularly well and we made our free throws. Twenty-two for 32 is pretty good for us.

Jerry Rucker

I was scared. I think everyone on the team got scared just for a second. Josh hit some huge free throws. That helped our confidence big time when he hit those.

Scott Ubbenga

They played one of their better games. They played incredibly hard, executed reasonably well, and did a good job shooting free throws.

Doug White

Free throws are always big to any game, on any level. If you can't make your free throws, it will usually go against you. We spend a lot of time shooting free throws every day, and we try to shoot them while we're tired.

Yama Jones

If we don't shoot our free throws better we'll be one and out. And we can't turn the ball over 33 times like we did Tuesday, we could be done.

Jason Varner

He's had some tough luck with his health over the years. It's just exciting to see him get out there and get a couple of free throws in.

Rob Porritt

We struggled at free throws all year long. In the end, our kids stepped up and got some huge rebounds for us.

Don Showalter

Our kids battled admirably. But we had too many unforced turnovers, and we would miss two free throws and they would score, and then miss another and they'd score. It's hard to trade zero for three like that, and we gave them too much of that.

Charlie Hood

We had three or four kids shoot the ball well. We shot it better, which is something we've struggled with at times. And we made free throws.

Mark Jensen

Dean gets the ball and Dean throws well. There's not a lot else we can say right now. Right now it's like a mental block with us and until we find a way to get over it we are going to struggle against Oldham.

Mike Herakovic

What you hope is everybody throws well, and let them make the decision. I wanted to throw as well as I can and I wasn't thinking about anything else.

Victor Santos

I think comedians partially use it for shock value. They know it makes people uncomfortable, so they exploit it. Richard Pryor probably said the word 100 times a day, but I think there's a degree of disregard for what anyone has to think that's associated with someone who just throws the word around the way some comedians do.

Christopher Miller

A lot of it came down to that we missed a couple rebounds on free throws that cost us down the stretch. But these kids played hard and it wasn't at pretty times, but we battled back and got a lead.

Mark Terlip

We talked at halftime about just not fouling them. We definitely did a much better job on offense in the second half. At the same time, we made them score on their own instead of giving them so many free throws.

James Greer

Two things were the keys to the game. We didn't attack their press and we missed a ton of free throws (15 of 31).

Jerry Burns

It came down to free throws. In that stretch when we got to the one-and-one, I think we made only one. We could have probably iced it at that point.

Robert Flowers

It was close the whole game. In the end they committed a few more fouls and we were able make the free-throws and seal the game.

Shawn French

We had really strong periods in the second and third. It also helps when you have balanced scoring and make your free throws.

Doug Bleadorn

We missed too many free throws and we had defensive breakdowns at the wrong times.

Trey Johnson

I'd love to give each of (the receivers) the same number of throws, but I have to go through my reads, and see what's open.

Colt Brennan

We dug ourselves into a deep hole and then dug ourselves out of it, but we just couldn't quite get over the hump. There were a number of things that were costly. They had too many offensive put-backs, and we didn't react quickly enough after loose balls. Then there were the free throws.

Dave Stephens

When it got into crunch time, our two big kids made several key free throws and it staved them off.

Sean Durkin

The key for us was that we made our free throws and held our composure in overtime.

Gene Grumman

She is throwing strikes and as long as she throws strikes and lets the defense play behind her we will be OK.

Sammy Day

I was pretty disappointed with the way I played. I made some very poor throws I wish I could have back. I was kind of wishing we could play another game the next day and put that last one behind us. Luckily, that was just the first week, and we got a win.

Zac Taylor

I just imagined myself at practice. I knew I had to knock them down for my teammates and fans. Those are the biggest free throws of my life. It's unbelievable. I struggled shooting all night, but I knocked them down when it counted and that's what matters.

Kyle Clearman

We've won some close games this year, and we're gaining confidence. It would be great to win a game by 20 points, but we'll take the wins any way we can get them. This was a great win for us, and the offense really stepped up. Some of the kids hit some big free throws and grabbed some big defensive rebounds tonight.

John Fusco

It was when I felt I was a part of the team. I was so hyped to make the free throws.

Myles Davis

I'm hard on myself over missing open shots and free throws. That was a hard pill to swallow.

Shan Foster

(Baker) made some great plays in the open floor. We keyed on her and got some turnovers in the second half. We fouled her three times on 3-point shots and she hit 8-of-9 free-throws. She's just an excellent player.

Jeff Bickmore

They're very difficult to guard one-on-one and they got to the free-throw line and made their free throws.

Ryan Tompkins

We put them in a situation they love to be in. We put them where they were shooting more free throws than the other team, and they've been doing that all season.

David Cornwell

He throws the ball 90 miles an hour. We just need him to throw strikes. If he can throw strikes, he'll be devastating out there on the mound.

Rich Papirio

We got everything going to the basket on offense. We didn't make the free throws to ice the game, but we attacked well inside and got everything in the lane.

Craig Kowal

We were trying to go to the basket and draw fouls to get some people on the bench and use it to our advantage. Then hopefully we could hit our free throws.

Cassie Proper

They did what we asked them to do. We had to get off to a good start and control the tempo. And we were able to hit those key free throws down the stretch.

Alonzo Sledge

It's very hard [to leave]. This is a new team I got to know. But it's part of the job. It's for your country, and you got to represent your country. It's a new league. I have to get to know the pitchers. I'm sorry I have to leave, but it's OK. Some of the guys, like Alex [Cora], they'll help me, tell me how a pitcher throws.

Alex Gonzalez

It feels good just to get a tough game like that and be in that situation to make some free throws and come out on top finally.

Courtney Beasley

I don't think it was lucky. We put in work every day. The beauty of our team right now is that we're not cutting corners. We come out every day in practice and work our butts off. We didn't hit free throws the way we wanted to, but we kind of scraped it out. We got it done.

Brian Thornton

I'm the senior, so I thought it was my job to sink those free throws. But we are all pretty good free-throw shooters, so it didn't really matter who was up there.

Teresa Case

He knows the energy you expend from trying to get from point A to point B to point C. And when somebody lies and that throws your trail off a million miles from where it ought to be & the lie is a lot more consequential.

Andrew Mccarthy

We shoot a lot of free throws toward the end of the year. I tell the girls every year I coach that free throws win basketball games. They always do. We knew we didn't want to run with Camden and we didn't want to press them. We knew what they wanted to do.

Michael Webb

That was Roberson's fifth foul. Instead, she stays in, and they're shooting free throws.

Dave Walla

We let them have too many free throws. How can you win a game when you give them that many opportunities to get points?

Jeni Hopkins

We got what we wanted. They missed both free throws and we had a chance to get the rebound. If we had gotten it and scored with 30-35 seconds left, it's a two-possession game.

Mike Hayes

Despite a poor fourth quarter on the offensive end, we still had a chance in the final seconds, but missed free throws and other opportunities hurt us. It was disappointing because this was a game we could have won.

Joel Allen

They had only two field goals (a pair of three-pointers out of East's zone defense from Pat Cummings) in the fourth quarter. They had 21 free throws. That's what beat us. That's where we got beat. Our team knows it.

Brian Clodi

Between games we talked about how we let each other down by not giving our best effort in a couple innings and that probably cost us the game. Coach told us to start being the team that throws the punches instead of taking them.

Ashley Loncarich

It doesn't matter how fast the pitcher throws, you still have to hit it. I just have to keep trying to improve.

Max Suter

One stating that if we do have a guy that can't afford it, he's an out-of-towner. He said, 'I'm from New Orleans and I don't live there anymore, but if I can help, I'll pay a portion of a member's dues so he can ride.' Some of the guys are even offering to pay for twice as much throws so that somebody else can take some of the throws.

Penny Larsen

This isn't the first time (Shapiro) has hit some clutch free-throws. He hit two equally as big shots only a couple of games ago.

Dan Gandin

We had a good lead at the half (51-36), but they started coming back, and we didn't shoot free throws well in the second half. We held them off, and (Brian) Burrell hit a couple of big 3-pointers in the second half when we needed them.

Bill Foy

Free throws always win games. Toward the end of the game, when it became crunch time, we hit some big free throws and that pretty much gave us the game.

Daniel Dillon

We know they can hit the ball. Phillip (Watson) does a good job keeping you off balance. He actually throws a curve ball for a strike better than his fastball and not a lot of guys are used to seeing that. Then Josh Bradshaw came in and did a good job on the mound. He throws the ball over the plate. He's pretty fearless.

Joe Caruso

His velocity is good. He doesn't throw 90 or anything, but he throws a good fastball, a breaker and a splitter and he throws them all for strikes. Something that is huge is that he doesn't walk people. He has a lot of success because he allows less than a walk per start, and if you can keep people off the bases, you can win a lot of games.

Guy Mackay

We struggled on offense, but we did a good job hitting our free-throws. It's really nice to see it; this was a big game for us.

Mike Royer

It was a very entertaining game, and Scott had the best game of his high school career. We got another great night out of Woody, but neither team could guard its own shadow. We had to dig in and knock down some free throws at the end. This feels pretty good after losing to them by 17 at our place.

Mick Flattery

Until I see an announcement that they officially have a league, I'm not going to comment. The NLL throws some things out there. They talked about having a second indoor league, the NLL2, and they've talked about expanding to something like 29 teams. None of that has come to fruition.
