Baltimore Quotes
We felt like we made a lot of strides and are beginning to put some things in place that are going to help us become a winning team. We know we have a long way to go. Being in a tough division with Pittsburgh, Baltimore and Cincinnati will elevate our play and elevate our standards. In order for us to compete in our own division, we're going to have to get a lot better and a lot quicker.

Best Quotes
What makes Maria so tough is the way she plays, the way she competes. The best part about Maria is her focus. But not to be reacting when somebody's down on the ground, not to even move from the back of the baseline, somehow you've got to shift out of that mode. That's when her focus can look very unattractive.
-
Awkward Quotes
What makes it hard for us is that we're used to playing a fast-paced game and they're used to slowing it down. When we play each other it's a really awkward game. It's a battle of who imposes their game plan on the other one. They're a tough team to play against. You never look forward to playing them.

Bigger Quotes
Usually I schedule the girls to play tough teams so it will keep them grounded. This year nature is taking care of that for me. Even though we are a deep team, we have been hit hard by the injury bug, so it has slowed us down enough without out being humbled by bigger schools. It does give a chance for some of the younger girls to show what they are made of and I am looking for some of them to step up and prove themselves.

Fine Quotes
We're motivated just on the schedule we have: having a tough schedule and wanting to prove to people that no matter if we have a tough schedule or not, we're a good football team, and we're going to win games. I share the record with Lenny now, and I'm not a greedy person. If we can win the game and I don't get a touchdown, I'll be fine with that.
-
Against Quotes
With their size, we need to pressure the guards and get some transition points. Any slow-paced, half-court game is going to favor them. But we'll go with our usual stuff. We'll try to trap and fight through picks. This will be a tough game, but we've had our backs against the wall before.
-
Care Quotes
We're going to do a lot of things to try and guard Slaughter. I don't think you can just put one guy on him and expect him to take care of him. We're going to try and make him work for everything he gets. We want to contest his shots. He's going to get shots, we just want to make them as tough as possible.
-
Changed Quotes
We faced a lot of tough teams on this road trip. But we changed a lot of things before this game and played better defensively. We had better control of the puck. It's like we started from scratch. I've seen the changes, I think we can turn this thing around. We've got most of our guys back (from injury). Hopefully this was the start.
-
Alien Quotes
We experienced a deconstruction of our personal lives. Coming home to a familiar setting and being alien to it created a sense of isolation from the people we're close to. There were all these invisible barriers that were tough to reach through. So we ended up with songs like 'Alone, Jealous, and Stoned,' about how our emotions propel us toward these conflicts and away from the people we love.
-
Compared Quotes
We're expecting a pretty tough first half of the year -- tech profits will be up about 10 percent this year compared to 30 percent last year, ... But by the second half of the year, the economy may brighten, earnings comparisons are easier and we could start to see an easier tech tape.
-
Allen Quotes
We?re just playing together, we?re playing with a greater sense of urgency, and Allen is leading us. I really feel like he?s the key. He?s the leader and he?s been playing great. He?s been a lot more vocal. He has a different look in his eye. And when he has that look, he?s pretty tough to stop.

Continue Quotes
We're just playing pretty solid hockey right now and not making too many big mistakes. Five on five, we're making it really tough for teams to play us. We're skating, and we're not giving them a lot of opportunities in our end, for the most part. We have to continue to play like that.
-
Brilliance Quotes
We're just not playing on all cylinders. We're misfiring here and there, with moments of brilliance and moments where we're just not good. But we've got a tough game (today). Harlingen High is going to be ready for us. We're the ones that knocked them out of the playoffs last year, and I hope my girls are ready because they look good this year.
-
Ball Quotes
We're getting better and better. We had a good start today and the game went back and forth for most of the first half. Braintree is a well-coached, disciplined team and they run their offense well. Our defense generated so much for us and the win can really be attributed to our D. Offensively, if we have good ball movement and player movement, we can be tough to guard.
-
Against Quotes
We're a young team and we're still growing. I'm proud of the four wins we got against the defending county champ. They're a tough team with three defending county champs and another two who are ranked. They wrestle all year all over the county. We were more mentally prepared today. We knew what we were in for, and we went after them. I'd say we're still four to five years away. We need the kids who are in fifth and sixth grade to come up.

Aggressive Quotes
We knew this was going to be a tough stretch for us having to come up here to Central Michigan and then go to Eastern Michigan Saturday. I was happy with the way we started, but disappointed with the way we ended. We just weren't aggressive enough in the second half and we didn't match their intensity.
