Mike Wright Quotations

We hope we can keep the intensity going and hopefully earn a trip to the state tournament.

We've won three games in a row with Cocke County up Monday and we've got a little momentum, which is what we're looking for heading into the district run.

She's saying that she was raped by her father, he threatened her, he threatened her and her mother if she told anyone.

Matt Stiles stepped up huge. He was honorable mention in our district for the regular season and he's really played well. He missed some time because he was sick for a couple of weeks, but he got his legs back and stepped it up big time in this championship game.

I feel that we have a serial, a true serial pedophile off the street.

I found out about it at 11:15 this morning, but it doesn't change a thing for us. In fact, it will strengthen our programming because the marginal UPN programming during that two-hour block will be replaced with stronger WB programs.

Gibbs is our money free throw shooter. Down the stretch, there's not a guy on the team I'd rather have with the basketball in his hands than him. He's got ice in his veins and knocks those free throws down.

I always had that goal in the back of my mind to reach the NFL, ... to find out if I could really do it. It turns out that I can.

He'll either enter a plea of guilty and be sentenced or will stand with his plea of not guilty and the case will be set to go to trial.

He congratulated me and said the easy part is making the team, ... But the harder part is sticking around. Now is the time to start the real work. That really meant a lot coming from a guy that good.

I was actually told by the equipment manager (on Sunday), ... He asked me if I wanted a new number. I said, 'Does that mean I'm on the roster?' He said, 'Yeah.' I guess that's how they do it.

We estimate A & B's investment to be around $650 million based on our plans right now. This could be a six to eight, possible a ten, year project by the time all the residential is sold.

We fought hard and had a chance to win it in regulation but the shot wouldn't fall.

You know when you're playing a big rival, especially on their home floor, that they're going to come out with a lot of emotion and intensity and they're going to make runs. You've got to weather those runs and regroup and get it going on your own. We settled down and played our game.

UPN-BCS gives us another outlet for community service. For instance, the programming will be conducive to running announcements for March of Dimes or promoting our annual food drive.

Those were just little setbacks that didn't stop me from achieving my goal,

We are winning the battle upfront at the line of scrimmage, ... We're not going to change anything for the second half and just keep playing how we have been playing.

This tells a lot about the company's attitude toward safety. They clearly didn't learn much since March 23.

We expect our results for the remainder of the year to be in line with the earnings per share range that Wall Street is carrying for the second half of the year, representing another record year of double-digit sales and earnings per share growth,

Both of them lead by example, but Jonathan is more quiet. He goes out and plays his game and makes shots. At the end of the game those are the two you want with the ball in their hands.

The workers in the plant, the public and certainly the victims and their families really deserve to know everything that OSHA found before some of it was traded away behind closed doors.

It was an ugly game and we looked a little like we were dragging from Monday's game against Cosby.

The boys have done a great job of finishing ball games and at no time do you ever get worried they won't.

A lot of people confuse us with mall management or the concierge. They think we're part of the mall.

It's a wild, chaotic place. You can only rely on yourself.

It's not unusual for there to be several continuances in a case like this. I'm surprised that the case has moved this quickly to the circuit court.

They've really bought into the system and flung themselves into it full force.

That's all I wanted. That's what everybody wants, a chance to reach their final goal.

Instead of seven guys preparing for a game and eight feeling like they're dummy players we have everybody getting ready for game night.

If you were to ask me who our MVP is I couldn't tell you because it's all of them. Regardless of the situation, we can put anyone in the game and make things happen.

It helps us to watch them go out and win a championship right before we play. The girls have really turned it on the last couple of weeks and it inspired us to see the effort they gave. The boys got to see them win a title and it gave us a little bit extra fire coming into our game.

I just think it's the freedom that they all have to shoot the ball and play. Everybody on the team knows they have a chance to go in every night and play and make a difference.

California is getting very serious about this age group and restrictions. The reason is that it saves lives.

He stated his wife was having chemo treatments for breast cancer. She wasn't around the house a lot and he was 'lonely', was the word he used.

If I hire any of these people, I would resign as county commissioner.

All I knew was nobody came up to me to pull me in the office, so I had good feelings about it, but I was just waiting to see if my stuff was still in my locker.

The first thing we've talked about all year is effort. This is a group that plays hard and together. They do everything that we ask them to do. When you get all of that working it usually generates into good things.
