Bill Devine Quotations

Usually at the end of the season there's a league meeting where coaches meet to plea (a) players' case. But I couldn't make that meeting and the other coaches named Julia to the team because they recognized her talent.

Shelby (Hooper) and Julia (Gregory) had to step it up a bit and they did. Lately I've been putting Julia in a more defensive spot and she sacrificed her scoring, but with Nadine (Meredith) in foul trouble, I had to make adjustments.

Monica ran strong legs on both of those as well. She also anchored our 4 x 400 relay team to a time that is second best in the north.

I will miss all of the girls who'll be graduating this year. But, we have some good returning players that should give us a good nucleus for next year's team.

I was really happy with the way the girls played, in spite of the outcome. It seemed that we couldn't buy a basket in the late going but still, I think it's the best we've shot all season.

This was a great meet for us. The distance runners really pushed the envelope in their respective races and the relay teams show signs of beginning to gel. I couldn't be happier.

This was an incredible breakthrough for her. She now knows that she can compete with anybody in the state, regardless of school size.

Don't ever give up on your kids. And do not be afraid to confront them - I can't tell you how many times we get calls by parents who want us to do something about their kids, but don't want their kids to know they called (the sheriffs).

It was a shame to see the looks on the faces of the seniors as they came off the floor. They didn't need this to happen in their final home game. It's too bad.

Oh no, we can run just about anywhere and have since last Monday.
