Anthony Smith Quotations

Make free throws. I told the girls, 'Let's make some free throws and don't foul.' That's how I felt. Let's make those free throws, and B.T. and Miranda made two of them. Not just one of them, but two of them, and that was great.

Nikki is a kid who has battled injuries her whole playing career here. She has never been like, 'I've got to take time off. I've got to be a starter.' Exactly. She just goes in and does what is asked of her, plays and has fun, and I think her best playing days are ahead.

He keeps his head up, and that keeps us going. It lets us know we still have a chance. That's been real good for us.

It has been a long wait and at last we seemed to have an outcome for the commuters on this line. What we needed was a clear way forward; this is very unsatisfactory.

Lauren definitely has the skills. I saw her shooting the ball the other day, and she can still shoot it. I think next year, she's going to surprise some people because you're talking about a kid who works so hard. She brings up her confidence, she'll be fine.

Our goal is to win the state championship. That is the goal, and as a program, we've said that we want to contend for the state title every year. We know what we need to do to reach that goal, and it's about perseverance.

Right. We've been trying to tell them all season long, whenever you get into the game, don't worry about coming off the bench, not starting, whatever. When you do get in there, it's about making something happen. Those two came in and made it happen or else we would be coming back home today.

That could have created a real big spark. That could have put six points on the board. But I couldn't get it. My eyes failed. I was seeing too much green in front of me. I didn't see the ball.

That was big and that's what Camille can do. She's a great defensive player. Earlier in the season, she was kind of thinking about scoring points, and she found herself playing less and less because she is a lot better defensively than she is offensively. But she came in today, did what she does best, and I'm proud of her for that.

That was just heart. We wanted it today. That was tremendous the way we shot free throws.

We came out trying to score 20 points in one possession. They were trying to get everything right away, trying to do too much too fast.

We definitely had chance after chance. But then we'd turn the ball over or miss an easy basket.

There hasn't been a night where he has not showed up and put it on the line for me, even in the games we lost. He's always a positive kid and an emotional leader for us, too.

The rail industry is going to have to work hard to demonstrate that these rises represent value for money.

When you get hurt, you start to lose out knowing how to play the game. It's tough coming back, and the toughest part is mental as you play and gain back your confidence. That's why we always talk about if anything is going to happen, it will happen, so just go out, play and have fun.

This was our year. We should have won it this year. We'll get it next year.

Right now, we have about eight kids who could say they're the person to start or be in the game. Sure, everybody wants to start, but I keep telling them to play team basketball. It doesn't matter who starts, it matters who finishes. That's what I would want to do.

Offensively, I don't know where we were today. Defensively, we did a pretty good job and I'm proud of that. It wasn't pretty, it was pretty ugly, but that's what it takes to win sometimes.

Ballgame? What a ballgame. We didn't draw it up like that, but we will take this. A great win for us, and it has been one thing after another all season long. It has been a grind-it-out kind of season for us, and we'll take whatever comes next.

That's what Tate does. She's a scorer and that's what she likes to do. She likes to shot and score baskets.

Young people are increasingly viewing sexual activity and relationships as commodities to be acquired and discarded. Clearly, people's sexual cultures are changing and better and more effective sex education is required to keep up.

A lot. It's a lot better than '93. We won. It's a very special thing to be a part of, and I'm not quite ready for it to be over and done with. I'm loving it.

It's not like they were doing it in school. It was kids drinking on the Internet.

It's the same old thing. Whenever they focus and come out ready to play, they can play, but they tend to lose their focus at some point.

It's getting kind of nerve-wracking. I'm just trying to make the best of it right now.

It's pretty bad. Now we know how some of the past teams felt.

It won't be easy, but it's up to us to turn it around. It's time to go back to work.

It was just a great ballgame. Both teams came out and played hard.

That midseason, end-of-season type of slump we had, we kind of took that time off. But now we've come back from that and we're playing hard, and we had to earn this win tonight.

The kids got the whole feeling of being inside that big-time place. That's something they all worked hard for, and to see them down there enjoying that time and enjoying that moment. Only eight teams around the whole state get to do it. It was good to see.

I know they like to play five guards and they like to get up and down the floor. They like to trap you, press you and do all of those things. They're an offensive-minded team.

In this class, you can unwind. When I grow up and have my own house, I want to know how to plant flowers and trees in my yard.
