Chase Quotes
I hate to use the word practice, but if we want to become a Stanley Cup contender for years to come, we need to practice this kind of pursuit of excellence. Winning division titles, winning conferences, winning Stanley Cups. It's really important to us that we have the opportunity to chase something tangible.

Again Quotes
Our team is really pumped right now. With our win last weekend, we gained several spots in the points and are still a contender for the Chase. The guys will be really focused this weekend on executing their pit stops. We're bringing our Chicago and Michigan car to California and it's done well for us, so we're looking forward to being competitive again this weekend.

Definitely Quotes
Playing strong teams like Acton-Boxborough and Billerica have really toughened us up for Middlesex League play. A year ago we weren't ready for league play. Now we're in game shape. We'll definitely be a contender for the league title. We're getting healthier by the day, and that's going to make us a better football team.

Call Quotes
I still talk to Coach Jim Leavitt all the time, ... He's a piece of work. Gunther and him are real similar in a lot of ways. Leavitt's definitely an interesting guy. I call him every week during the season. I leave a message for Coach, talk some trash, tell him to pick it up, you're soft, stuff like that. It's going to be rough for USF, but we'll be a contender eventually.

Against Quotes
We definitely will have a strong contender there. Right now it's an issue of whether we can handle a race against an incumbent war chest, but with the possibility there will be an open seat in the November 2006 election because Cannon might lose in a primary, there is unusual interest among potential candidates.

Acceptable Quotes
The fact that Weld is the leading contender speaks volumes about the state of the New York GOP. How can there be no homegrown contender groomed and prepared to take on someone like Spitzer? The need for them to call on a former Governor of Massachusetts, a guy to the left of Pataki, when they know all too well that they are toast this time around if they don't field someone acceptable to conservatives is just amazing.
-
Amanda Quotes
We have a balanced, growing team just beginning to find its potential. Led by veterans Amanda Williams and Kelly Darby, who were joined by standout talent Susana Salazar, the Indians are looking forward to growing into a real contender by the end of this season. For the boys, we have a large crop of late arrivals that have recently come out, and we're hoping they help us rebuild our boys program toward where it stood in the league a few years back.

Dilemma Quotes
These seniors have three regular-season district titles, two district tournament titles and one region runner-up finish under their belts. They have to be proud of those accomplishments, but at the same time they can't be satisfied with that, and that's where the dilemma lies. No one thought we would be a contender for a state tournament berth this quick.

Again Quotes
North was down by nine in the third quarter and came back to make it a one-point game. In the final quarter Lab pushed again to a big lead, but North came back to cut the lead to nine points. Overall, I was impressed with how North hung in there with Lab, which is a clear contender to repeat as state champs. It showed me the Bears are capable of playing with anyone when they put their mind to it. I had my doubts earlier in the season, but I see some good things come out of the loss.

Accustomed Quotes
All my life, Americans have been accustomed to thinking of theirs as 'the richest, freest' country in the world. By most measurements, it was long a contender for that honor, and - among the larger countries, if equal weight were given to wealth and indices of freedom - probably did deserve to be so described.

Again Quotes
It's great to be a contender for the championship even if I only have a slim chance, ... The team believed in me from the start and so did PacifiCare so I am glad to give them all the podiums so far and especially the win in Montreal and put them in the position of fighting for another 1-2 finish in the championship. There are two races left and two opportunities to win and were going to try our best to do this. Bruno brought PacifiCare wins in Montreal and Australia last year and it would be nice if I could do that for them again this year.
-
Attitude Quotes
Any time you come into an organization where guys on the team are used to winning, I think the attitude is a little better. I think it gives you the opportunity to be a part of a contender and at the same time try to find out where you fit in and what can you do to help this team win. He's fit in well with this team.
-
Behind Quotes
If you've got five starters that you perceive to be terrific starters, then go get a sixth because that depth is going to come up; there is no doubt about it. From our perspective we feel very strongly about being a perennial contender and that means the strong guy on the mound and the relievers behind him.

Gotten Quotes
I just think if something were to happen and we were to lose he doesn't want us to look like a failure. Because we have helped turn this program around. I think he is trying to point out that even though we haven't won anything yet we've made a lot of strides and gotten the program back into a national contender again.
