Chelsea has already got many offers for college. She could possibly be playing at the Division I level, as well. She ranks right up there with the best of the boys in the districts. ... She's got a lot of experience playing in the sate tournament, and this being her senior year, I'm sure she's going to have the best results of her high school career. This should be her year to make an impact.
Jim Krall
It's still fun dealing with the kids. I have depth between the varsity and JV. I'm pleased with their skill level. If we make the tournament, we're going to be dangerous.
Dominick Castaldo
We have a lot of seniors and I know they want big things in this tournament since they see the end is near with their high school careers. I'm expecting a great effort from these guys. We've got a big challenge tomorrow.
Dennis O'reilly
This late in the state tournament, everybody is good. Thomasville has a similar style to us.
Katheryn Lyons
We won some matches we weren't sure about, so that's a positive for us. Everyone getting a win at the state tournament is good for the program.
Brian Smith
Any time you advance in the tournament, you have to feel good about that. You just want to get that first one out of the way. The good thing now is we played tonight and we have four days of preparation to get ready for that next game. That's to our advantage, I think.
Barry Borchers
It will be the first time we can market the tournament as a destination. They're an entertainment city. They know how to stage events.
Linda Bruno
We've got to get our confidence back up and win two games in the regional tournament.
Darren Mathews
We just ran out of pitching in the tournament and he hadn't pitched all year long. It was kind of one of those bottom of the barrel type of things.
Kenny Simpson
We did a lot of things wrong last year. Really, we didn't know what we were doing. We're on the bus to go to the tournament and remembering something that we didn't do, a detail we forgot to take care of.
Royce Huseman
It is a good competitive tournament all the way around.
Kyle Mayse
This game was big for us. UTEP came in here undefeated (in C-USA play), and we wanted to prove a point. We're trying to get into the NCAA Tournament, so every game counts.
Oliver Lafayette
On the final few holes, I was just looking to improve my standing. Winning the golf tournament never really crossed my mind.
Rob Oppenheim
Our seniors, Andy Hill and Mike Waters, obviously have big goals of making it to the state tournament. I want to see all five kids keep their focus and conditioning up. I want them to wrestle well but relaxed and not let the pressure get to them.
Kevin Mcfann
We played below par today, but I still feel good about the prospects of winning the tournament.
Stephen Fleming
I'm happy that we won. I don't care if it's by one run or 10 runs. At tournament time, you can't be thinking about how you win. You just gotta win.
Dunn Muramaru
We're having a good tournament. Our goal was to score 50 points [Friday] and break 100 points [today].
Dave Carlile
They don't want to miss out again. They were here for the Patriot League tournament and they're staying for two weeks longer. My dad only has so much time off. If we get to the Final Four, hopefully he can work something out.
Chris Mcnaughton
I told him, 'You have plenty of time to sleep in another couple weeks,'? You're in the NCAA tournament. You can go to the Sweet 16.
Jay Larranaga
It should be a good tournament.
Jess Munro
We missed several key players at the tournament but should have done better. We were a bit unlucky in the end as we went out on goal difference and Senegal got through even though we had beaten them.
Ratomir Dujkovic
We were 10-10 in the regular season and just turned it on as a team in that tournament. They got a taste of a championship, and every year they want to improve.
Fred Sosnoski
I don't care. I've been saying that the whole time. We're blessed to be playing in this tournament regardless. I'd love to [get a chance to] play [Villanova], because I think we can show our toughness. I look forward to the challenge. We worked hard to get here.
Marques Alston
The ball hasn't bounced our way lately, but once you get into the tournament anybody can get on a hot streak.
Todd Parker
This group of seniors have been together a long time and have played together since fourth grade. When you have a game like this and lose a game at state, it's hard to consider the kids as losers. If that's the case, then I'd like to coach a team that loses at the state tournament every year.
John Gaier
We were really down in numbers for the tournament. This group showed heart and what working with each other can do. It's just a testament to us, as a team, how we pulled together. We were all of the same mindset. They have exceeded my expectations at this point in the season.
Susan Peel
We showed so much character this tournament, and it'll help even more later in the season. Rallying back Friday night (for a 49-48 victory over Booker T. Washington) and then coming back like this tonight will help us in the district.
Craig Brehon
Coach hit on that the other day. He said we have three wins and the team in fifth place has five wins. Everybody wants to get that high seed. Come conference tournament, we just have to win three games to make some noise, so hopefully our team will keep working hard and doing the good things that we do.
Chris Ross
I thought at the start of the week that eight-under would win the tournament and I still think that because the course is tough.
Craig Barlow
We came into the tournament with a horrible record. It was a winning season, but everybody doubted us. South Carolina is this, South Carolina is that, we're underdogs, we're not going to do nothing in the tournament. Hey we're showing people right now we've got a lot of heart and we're tough.
Renaldo Balkman
There are certainly more teams that are in the pool for consideration than any year I've been involved, ... I'm sure given some of the upsets and the things that have gone on already this year, there will be many people who are making a case for themselves that they should be in the tournament field where they might have been left out in the past.
Bob Bowlsby
The best players need to step up and they did tonight. Patrick White can see the rink, he's got great hands, great size and strength. It was great to finally see a young man fulfill his dream of playing in the state tournament. It was by far his best game.
Bruce Laroque
We try to get different teams every year. The goal of the tournament is to put teams together that don't see each other. Geographically, they're all over, so it's pretty exciting.
Bob Anniballi
We're taking the approach that we're just happy to be going to the national tournament. We're not going out there with the idea of winning it. We're going out there to take things as they come -- one game at a time.
Jay Harrington
If Hilton keeps playing the way he is, we're going to be tough to beat in the tournament. He gives us so much balance.
Rashad Anderson
The competition was excellent and we were very happy to get into (the tournament). We are group A so how many times are we going to get to wrestle Grundy. I'm really proud of all my wrestlers. We were at a disadvantage because we are not at the level of competition as the other teams but our guys went out there with courage.
Karle Byrd
Once we won the district title, we certainly were not going to overlook the Valley District tournament, but we have a lot of focus on next week and are trying to build some momentum.
Rob Lovell
[The US Open may be the biggest tennis tournament in America, but both Israeli women shrug it off as just another competition that does not require special preparation.] Every tournament I train the same, ... No matter if it's Wimbledon, the US Open, or Forest Hills you train the same.
Anna Smashnova
They're going to give us a lot of (tournament) points.
Sean Mcnally
The results didn't show it, but our kids played well the last few games. We just ran into some hot shooting teams. Manchester (Essex) shot the ball well, and played a great game. They deserved to win. Our team just needs to regroup and prepare for the tournament. We'll be fine.
Steve O'connor
We were not ready to play. The matches we won, everybody contributed and the most we lost everybody contributed. I believe by the end of the season we'll be a pretty good team. To finish in the top half at this tournament is a good sign.
Don August
I'm not going to lie and say no. It definitely brought out the things I need to work on, my flaws. Hopefully, I'll be ready to step up during the tournament. I was thinking too much. That may have been my problem.
Briann January
This is a young team. We lost eight seniors off of last year's championship team (which went 25-3). We have a lot of young girls playing. At this point, the main thing is to make it to the state tournament.
Ricky Stone
Two of my friends who are pros on the tour put me on the pro doubles association calendar and asked if I wanted to have a tournament, so I said yes.
Jim Brinkerhoff
Watching that does kind of make you want to turn the channel. But as low as we felt after that, I'm proud of how far our team has come this season. It's been a big turnaround. It makes us eager to play in the tournament again.
Stephen Vinson
All of the feedback from the coaches was positive. Fallon told us that they hope we keep having the tournament because they'll keep coming.
Jim Nisbet
I am extremely happy with the playing (on Saturday). This was a tournament we thought that we could win. We came off a hard game against Carbondale, we were pumped up and we were mad about losing - we were pumped up (Saturday).
Allison Spence
We try to mix it up by playing some man-to-man defense, too, but our zone defense has been carrying us in the tournament. The big thing is we can't give up penetration. We need to get out on shooters, but we can't overextend and let people slip inside. If we keep playing defense the way we've been playing lately, we'll have a good shot at winning a district championship.
Sean Campbell
If we use three in the tournament, we should have three in the regular season.
Scott Joyner
I think we showed what kind of team we are. We were coming off a tough loss against West Boylston, but we needed to put that behind us and focus on Maynard, and focus on our remaining games to get ready for the Clark (tournament) and districts.
Scott Hoffman
We came in, and it was kind of rough, because we struggled for a couple of years. But, you know, we hung in there, got through it, made the transition, and senior year we've been playing real well. Hopefully, we can finish out strong, get into the NCAA tournament and do some damage. We're all just looking to go out on top.
Ashanti Cook
She fought until the last point. It was a really tight match. And I think yes, it's a really big win for me because I get the opportunity to be in the quarterfinals of this big tournament.
Gisela Dulko
This will be a non-conference game with some meaning to it if both teams continue to win. River Valley is in our regional. That is a seeding game for the tournament.
Chris Grinde
I am really pleased to be playing this tournament and always enjoy visiting Hong Kong - it's such a wonderful city.
Colin Montgomerie
I had 12 guys with me here and each of the 12 guys did something great during this tournament.
Scott Shaver
We've lost a lot of close games, but I feel like things are clicking for us. It took us awhile to get adjusted to our new system, but we're excited about the second half of conference. We want to improve as much as we can and prepare for a good run in the conference tournament.
Melissa Dennett
I'm just happy to be able to experience two Final Fours, it doesn't matter what tournament it is.
Juan Palacios
It will be busy, especially in the morning with all the spectators heading to the tournament.
Doug Nintzel
It's real big. We have to work hard and if we can get second place, it'll be good for us and we'll go into the WAC tournament ready.
Chris Botez
You're trying to play your best ball right now as you go into the tournament. I really think we are. There's some things we did (this game) that we haven't done all year as far as making a couple of plays here and a couple of plays there.
Bo Overton
The kids held themselves responsible for not making the playoffs last year, and that gave us an opportunity to compete for the tournament championship. They took it upon themselves to make sure they got better.
Jose Rebimbas
After the Presidents Cup I had two weeks off, followed by a tournament, the Australian Open, followed by another week off, a week of practice and [then came] here. There wasn't like a big cross through December where there was no golf.
Stuart Appleby
Supporting Day Kimball Hospital is very easy for the bank, ... The hospital is the central healthcare facility for Northeastern Connecticut and serves the medical needs of the 13 towns. Helping the golf tournament is one way we feel we contribute to the overall operation.
David Conrad
I've told them they're coming together at the right time. Basketball is a tournament sport and if we get hot at the right time there's no telling what this team can accomplish.
Mike Coppinger
It made perfect sense to combine these two key poker tournament functions into a single piece that could be circulated on the tabletop, from player to player. The DB Dealer can be set in five-minute increments up to 95 minutes, so no one will ever need to scramble to set and then reset any other alert system.
Jeff Klein
Coach Wright has mastered the art of getting the highest level of performance from his players. By finishing as co-champions in a very competitive Big East and making a great run in the tournament, coach Wright proved he deserves to hold the Naismith Award this season.
Gary Stokan
Realistically, we're not the favorite. I'd like to see us get as far as we can in the state tournament. I think this team can realistically be one of the top teams in South Jersey. We can definitely show improvement, show progress. Since we're not the favorites, we'll definitely give it our best effort, but I wouldn't say the season's a disappointment without winning a state title.
Jeff Holman
I do feel like we're getting better. I feel like we're communicating better down the stretch going into the region tournament and trying to get a berth in the state tournament.
Rickey Wray
We understand what we need to do to get better before conference tournament time comes in April.
Ray Kralis
Last year we won that tournament with an even younger team, but the competition this year was a lot stronger. And that's good. The stronger competition is only going to make us better ourselves.
Robert Nebeker
This is the best win so far in my career. Beating the world number four gives me a lot of confidence. I really like the court in Zurich which helped today. I already have a few matches played on the surface so I got a lot of confidence from my wins earlier on in the tournament. Today I just used that and played some of my best tennis.
Katarina Srebotnik
I gained a lot of confidence with my play in that tournament that will hopefully carry over to this event.
Jill Craybas
I see seven or eight teams being capable of winning the men's tournament. We are hoping to go into the tournament and play well. There are going to be a lot of hungry ball clubs in this three-day event.
Tommy Brown
The big thing for us was this was the last championship meet before the state tournament. We wanted to swim well and get some best times to keep us on that high going into the state tournament.
Kevin Mahoney
My favorite part of the tournament itself was in getting to and from our fields, because in waiting for a bus or a train, we'd get to see all the teams. Then, when we were on the bus or train, we would talk with some of the teams, and that is were we did the most interacting.
Robyn Lightner
If I continue to play like this, there is no reason why I cannot win this tournament. I have a great opportunity and I know what I have got to do to win.
Nick Faldo
If I was going to bet -- and based on my NCAA tournament sheet that might not be a good idea -- I would bet that the Jefferson District will stay in Region II, and that Robert E. Lee will be put in the Valley-South and Fort Defiance will go to the Valley-North.
John Hutchison
It was disappointing that we didn't make the NCAA Tournament. But we still can win something.
Danielle Kamm
After the second half of the second Bullock game (Jan. 17), they have stepped up their intensity. They have realized the closer you get to the area tournament, the intensity level has to increase.
Terri Gray
We've played our best hockey over the last couple of games. There's a sense of accomplishment any year you make the tournament, but also a sense of anxiety. There are only good teams left. We played (Maine) last year, so it's not completely foreign to us.
Ted Donato
We've been worried about it in every tournament for a few years. What if this is the year?
Krissy Wendell
In order to provide the tournament organizers a better opportunity to stage the tournament at the highest level, we offered [them] the option to move the tournament into the first week of November.
Henry Hughes
To have a tournament of this magnitude at a facility we feel is the best in the country is very exciting. Knowing and appreciating the commitment and enthusiasm the staff and the members hold toward the event, it makes us feel very comfortable that it will become a very special tournament.
Bruce Heppler
We knew they were going to make a run. They were playing like that throughout the tournament.
Randall Stallworth
[The Bruins improved to 3-0 overall with an impressive 25-22, 25-21, 25-19 victory over one of the better Humboldt-Del Norte League Big-5 volleyball teams ? Arcata.] We didn't play so well over the weekend at the South Umpqua Tournament, ... So, I feel good about the way they played tonight.
Lori Cooper
Getting to the state tournament has always been tough. Being there for the third year in a row is a testament to our kids in the program -- they've all worked hard to get there.
Johnny May
I knew I had my chances this week, but with the strength of the draw here this year, if someone told me I would win this tournament this week, I wouldn't really have believed them. It's an amazing feeling to win here in front of my family and friends.
Arnaud Clement
I guess that's the way it's supposed to be at a state tournament. We had a chance to get (the lead to eight and we missed a free throw. If we'd have got it to eight, we might have tried something different defensively. But, like Coach (Gordon) Peck said, we only had given them 32 points with the man-to-man, so why change?
Kurt Kinnamon
The PGA Tour schedule was set for 2002 through 2006. They were obviously aware of when we were playing when the Champions Tour decided to schedule their tournament in Cary.
Tim Crosby
This is our fourth year to have the tournament in May, and we like those dates.
Lisa Baker
I look at the tournament and I pay attention to who's making it to the final and who's doing well, and who's losing. But it doesn't really play into my thoughts about a school because teams change every year.
Heather Buck
I told the kids we could have lost by 30. We didn't lose. They beat us. We were 20-5. It's kind of hard to reflect. We won the ACL, we got two homes (in the tournament) and got great support. We all wanted to go to Boston Saturday.
Paul Lundberg
Parents look at opportunities for their kids, they're looking for exposure, ... One of the things they look at is playing on the big stage at the state tournament.
Mike Randolph
I told them before the game it's a four-game season. Now, it's down to three. If we can win three more games, we go to the national tournament.
Scott Breegle
We have four days of practice and we just have to try to get better in every facet. Right now, I think it's anybody's tournament.
Amy Proctor
We jumped on them early and got them thinking about what we were doing instead of them thinking about what they should be doing. Portageville is a good team. They were the No. 3 seed at the Twin Rivers tournament, so overall we did a good job tonight.
Gavin Miller
It's a tournament with nine Augustinian high schools from all over the country. We are guaranteed four games.
Matt Senffner
Summerville beat Mariposa, which has lost just three games and went to the finals of the Columbia College tournament and beat Downey and Sierra. And Calaveras, with their style of play, can make teams anxious because they don't allow them the same amount of possessions they're used to.
Jerry Rucker
It's hard to win ball games when you shoot like that from the foul line. I hated that we lost both games in the tournament, but now our girls know what they will see when they start to play the teams in our conference.
Scott Collie
We've got to play all four quarters of every game like we played the fourth quarter against Maryville. We've got to win two games in the district tournament to get into the region. These girls know the challenge and they've got to step up and do it.
Gene Huskey
We have already experienced plenty of interest in this with hundreds of players signing up for the tournament well before the first qualifier. It is not necessary that a participant must be single although the idea is targeted at singles. Whoever wins they will receive a vacation for two to take whoever they want.
Warren Lush
It felt like we were sharp tonight. Our defensive pressure is where it needs to be for the tournament.
Brian Dartt
His big tournament is this summer and that's the national championships. That's where you get noticed nationally. Everybody in Oregon knows who Denny is, and most of Washington, Idaho, Nevada and California ? they know him here, but to get nationally known happens in Fargo.
Ariah Fasana
Everybody looks at records, but a lot of coaches look at how far you have come. This team has made incredible strides. They have kept working and believing in each other and what we are doing. The difference between the team heading into the tournament and the one five weeks ago is incredible for anyone that has followed us.
Brett Norris
He is so underrated it's ridiculous. He just dominated the tournament and was the best player on the court. I think he's the best guard in the state and possibly the best player.
Gary Shourds
We also played in a round-robin tournament, so both squads had an enjoyable week.
Chris Porter
We came in here knowing we were in the NCAA Tournament. But it doesn't diminish our excitement about playing for a championship.
Rick Comley
We're banged up. We're looking to get healthy for January and February. In the grand scheme of things it's probably not worth it for them to wrestle in this tournament.
Shad Benton
I'm real happy with having a kid make a good showing at the state tournament. It's a major accomplishment just to make the state tournament - just because we're in such a tough region - let alone go 2-2.
Jim Melvin
It was kind of a smooth ride throughout the season. We won most of the games we were supposed to — we got to host the area tournament, and that was great for these guys.
Darrell Haynes
Overall, we did a pretty good job today. Dana is running away with it (the tournament), but we have a great chance to bring home a (top three) trophy, which was our goal coming in.
Mike Ritchey
We're coming up against teams that should be better competition for us. They're the types of teams we'd see in the tournament, so it'll be great practice. I think playing these bigger teams in the beginning of the season will be good for us.
Lauren Dubois
The state tournament is a possibility for us. Especially if we have the same teams in our region as last year. A lot of it has to do with the fact that we're going to be driven. He lost in the regional finals last year, that'll motivate us.
Chris Wagner
It's good to be feeling so fit before this tournament.
Fredrik Ljungberg
For Eric, it began long before he got here - he started off over at E.V. Cain. Throughout high school he's set his goals pretty realistically. Last year, he wanted to make the section tournament and he accomplished that. This year, he set his goal to go to state and we feel he can do that as well. He's got a real good chance.
Leonard Shull
I wanted to accomplish three things this year. Making this year's tournament better and getting the foundation set up. And the third thing is battling like heck for dates from 2007 to 2010 so that's where we are right now.
Mark Brazil
We've got a tournament to win.
Tiffany Miller
The growth of Poker in the United States has been phenomenal, to the point that it no longer surprises fans to see celebrities from film get involved in these events. Obviously, few people expect the movie stars to actually win a tournament like this, but it would be very exciting to see someone like Affleck at the final table playing the likes of Gus Hansen.
Alex Czajkowski
We were the top-ranked team; it's nice to win the tournament. It's exciting to finish the regular season with a win.
Andrea Gaston
It's a very prestigious tournament and it'll give us a chance to face some top-notch competition.
Kevin Kowalik
It will give us more time to focus. We had a lot of time off during the Christmas holidays, but we were able to stay focused and come back and win the holiday tournament at Chicago State.
Lamont Bryant
Being 15 minutes from Duke and Carolina, that's tough. Going to the tournament five or six years is not good enough. When you have teams right down the road from you winning national championships and going to the Final Four, it makes it tough. . . . Fans want it all. I think it was time for him.
Sidney Lowe
We're just looking to the conference tournament. If we had won just one more of those (SLC) games, we could be up there tied for the seventh or eighth spot.
Andre Owens
I don't know if that's the case or not. It's a nice record, and it leads us into the tournament in the right way.
Jimmy Just
This tournament has been through so much.
Brian Flajole
It will be my first tournament back in Europe after the Ryder Cup and I think it will be very special playing with some of my Ryder Cup colleagues and in front of our loyal home crowd.
Bernhard Langer
Not every tournament gets Tiger Woods. Could the field be stronger? Yes. It can always be better. But you would be hard pressed to find any place prettier than Monterey Peninsula by far.
Mark O'meara
When you get into the conference tournament you can't rely so much on your offense. There are too many talented teams that defend well.
Jim Wiedie
The tournament directors have a lot of ideas, and the players have a lot of ideas, ... Unfortunately not every tournament director is willing to listen...and we probably don't have the right people in position (at the ATP). We need some fresh people in there, some new business people in there.
Jonas Bjorkman
They earned a trip to the tournament. It's a sad deal for them. It's not our favorite way to get there, but if Mohawk can't go then obviously we would.
Don Alexander
For his first year playing varsity and his first time in the tournament, Mike has been playing great. We're proud of him.
Dave Spinale
It's a thrilling ride for the coaching staff. And it's a new group of kids each year. You always shoot to make it to the state tournament once or twice in your career. We almost feel unjust that we've been there seven times in a row.
Jon Murphy
I'm sure after the Shore Conference (Tournament), everyone thought we were a joke. We take things for granted a lot of times. I think we do better as underdogs.
Tia Curtis
They're happy about (the BAL title), but we didn't make a big deal out of it. I met with everyone at the beginning of the year and said that we had the potential to have an impact in (the District One Class AA tournament), so we're looking forward to that.
Rich Becker
Betsy's just a heads-up, smart player. She's had a great tournament.
Randy Rice
We were a little bummed the rest of that night. We kind of didn't know what to say. It's like, why Utah? Why does that always have to happen to us against them? But we kept our heads high, knowing we had the NCAA Tournament to look forward to. We realize that we're not done and we have a chance to play at least one game.
Ambrosia Anderson
We made progress as a team. The whole thing benefited us. Some people from USA Today said that if you win one game in this tournament, you've done good.
Doug Lipscomb
I'm very proud of these girls, because they work hard, play smart and want to win. Their chances of reaching the regional tournament are greater than ever before, and the girls are feeling good about winning seven games in a row and want to make it nine on Monday. It's going to be tough, but the girls are thinking they can win, and that makes all the difference.
Vernon Carter
I know it's going to be a tough tournament. I just want to go out there and see what I'm made of at a national level, see how I do up against other kids from other states.
Devin Hennessey
Said Taylor, adding the team's goal is to make it to the district golf tournament. Our team has the desire and the motivation to do that.
Michael Taylor
We played well at times, but did not knock down some shots at some crucial times in the ball game. Playing tough competition this time of year will hopefully pay off as we prepare for tournament time.
Derek Sonderland
It was good to see us shoot some low scores in the first round and get off to a good start. We have four players in the top six and all of them have a chance to win the tournament. We've really been working hard to get ready for the MAC Championship at the end of the moth and it's good to see everybody being rewarded for their efforts.
Nicole Hollingsworth
You don't want to go into the tournament losing two in a row and have everybody else having momentum and us having none. So I think it'd be huge to go in there and win on the road and then go play the conference tournament on the road.
Brent Wilson
With the way they set up the tournament, we don't really play to win and advance but for experience in game situations. It's more of a working tournament for us.
Cynthia Zea
We've got Jacksonville and Lon Morris on the road. Obviously, the primary goal is make the tournament, and, if possible, improve the place that we go in instead of going in at six. I think all that talk's very premature at this point. We got to get there.
Tracey Stellato
If you make it to the Division III tournament you're going to see tough opponents. The only way to prepare for that is to play strong teams in the regular season.
Chris Bunch
For four years here, we've been battling to gain respect. With 16 teams left in the tournament, everyone is good.
Chris Braier
I don't blame them. When it's in the States, I don't think very many Americans are cheering for Canadians. It's not strange. We don't care about who is behind us and who is not. We are here to win a tournament.
Rob Schremp
(Penn State is) in the same situation we are; it's been a long season and this is a non-conference game. However, potentially for them and for us, it could be (about) seeding for the NCAA Tournament if we both get to go, and that's pretty significant.
Arnie Ball
Fans are put in the unnecessary position of going to the black market because of the absurd way that FIFA runs the whole thing. FIFA just wanted to start getting its revenues months before the tournament.
Kevin Miles
The NCAA tournament, the championship.
Freddy Petkus
Tracy (Anderson) and I had talked about having a holiday tournament for some time, and now that our program is stable, we believe this is a perfect time for it. It's going to be in the middle of the winter, and I think that it's going to be easy for us to market, and it'll give us an opportunity to showcase UTPA.
Deann Craft
This tournament was a very positive time for us as a team. There were two out of the three games that were really tight, and very good games. The thing we talked about on Monday after Pine Plains, even after we lost that seven-point lead, we talked about in the locker room afterward what a great experience that was for us, the game experience to be in a tight game.
Dominick Radogna
I am feeling really good going into the tournament. We dedicated the first two weeks of our preseason to exposing the players to quality teams with different styles of play.
Alexandre Louzada
Kyle has a lot of tournament experience, but it has always been as an individual playing various tours. It's a little different going to a different school with teammates and on relatively different courses. He doesn't have many holes in his game.
Tom Romance
I'm definitely coming back next year, I feel really good here, this is my favorite tournament and I love this country.
Mariano Zabaleta
He had a big tournament. Chad, he probably got half his points on hustle plays. And he was always there when he needed to be.
Bret Walter
We did a nice job tonight and it is always nice to win your first game of the district tournament.
Dale Lortz
I was telling people before the tournament, she's the best I've ever seen. And everybody was saying, 'Well she's probably not that good.' But after we left the tournament, everybody was convinced.
Steve Middleton
We always have a good time coming to this tournament. We played well and fought hard in our games. The wind made it tough on the hitters, so pitching and defense took over.
Pete Hertler
Tee to green, I won't say I feel like I'm at my best. My putting has been nice and if I can keep that going it'll be good. You never know what's going to happen. I get a buzz leading a tournament and will try to keep it going.
David Lynn
The girls were upbeat afterward, looking forward to playing Page again and just try to keep momentum going as we head into the state tournament.
Jennifer Parker
From my perspective, the pressure is off. This season we came in knowing that next year we're going to be 1B and it's going to be a completely different format. We've been to state seven straight, so in the back of the kids' minds I think they didn't want to be the group to miss out on the last year the tournament is in Spokane.
Dean Wagenaar
It's hard to go to a duals tournament with just eight guys. We give up six weight classes in every dual - 36 points - it is almost impossible to come back from that.
Jared Digmann
They all have their hands full this week, but if they put together a good tournament anything can happen. I think we have a good opportunity to move several through. It's going to be tough, but we have some guys that are definitely capable.
Frank Mccue
With all due respect, it was still just a friendly, although we would have liked to have won that game. But a friendly is a lot different from a tournament match.
Rudi Voeller
The tournament is much more grueling.
Tom Ciccarone
Our goals are to keep getting better, and when we get to that conference tournament we want to be playing well.
Pam Decosta
She's the setter for the JV team and then we ask her to come up and take on an entirely different roll in a varsity tournament. She did a nice job all day.
Gail Kloster
It does take a little bit of the pressure off when you might not be expected to be there. This town has had a lot of close calls, so it's great just to be able to go and be part of the regional tournament. It's nice walking around, and have everyone say how cool it was to see you win a district title, and wish you good luck.
Larry Farmer
Obviously, I felt I had a good chance to win the golf tournament. It just didn't turn out the way I wanted.
John Mallinger
Everybody just stepped it up another notch. We all came together in that tournament. We got used to playing with each other and got the chemistry going.
Derek Thompson
Our goal is to get into the N.C.A.A. tournament, and we've never lost sight of that.
Grant Billmeier
She's turned into an excellent player. Her results prove it, because she won a tournament with almost 500 people in it. Her skill level is definitely beyond recreational.
Rick Becker
To finish third out of 32 teams is a great accomplishment for our kids, program and coaching staff, ... I still feel like we were the best soccer team in this tournament, and it would have been great to play for the title. But we have nothing to hang our heads about.
Alex Hernandez
A lot of guys can shoot par around their own golf course. Playing tournament golf is a little different. It's a lot more difficult than they think it is.
Rick Rhoden
The number one goal is still being league champ. We will worry about the tournament when we get there.
Ben Snively
We finished third at our invitational last year, so we'd like to step up and win it this year. St. Xavier and Hudson were both top-five teams in the state tournament last year and we've been close to those teams at tournaments several times this year. We're 2-1 against St. Xavier right now and 3-0 against Hudson, but I think any of us could win this.
David Eberst
Last year we did an outstanding job of having the really good teams here. The people of Northwest Arkansas did a great job of running the tournament, word got around and a lot more teams wanted to be involved this year.
Bill Ingram
There are certain criteria set by the Official World Golf Rankings Board to award world ranking points in a tournament.
Trevor Immelman
He's having a great tournament. But the great thing about our team is he isn't the only one contributing.
Dave Sheffield
Getting a win in this year's tournament was huge for us. It was a definite improvement from last season.
Beck Hansen
We thought we would do the Tiger Woods bit, because he always wears red on the final day of a tournament.
Steve Wells
I think the tournament MVP is going to come out of that bracket.
