H. Hunt Year Quotations

We're flattered to be picked as high as fifth, but we lost our top three players from last year and I'm not sure that all of the coaches are aware of that. I believe that our competitiveness will allow us to finish near the top half of the conference but every match for us will be a grind. Whether we're playing the team picked first or picked ninth - we'll have to show up and fight our hearts out in order to have a chance to win.

Our team believed that all year long (we were the best in conference). Even with the two regular season conference losses we truly felt that it was our tournament to win.

We're all aware of it (the streak). But we're not really concerned about last year or anything that happened before that. We're focused on this season right now. The only thing we remember from last year is Buffalo Island (Central).

We had a strong feeling about Jordan after meeting him last year at Road Atlanta. Obviously BMW feels he will be a top competitor and represent their brand well, as noted by their selection of him as a BMW Junior Driver for the 2006 season. As a team, it is our responsibility to help develop his skills to their fullest potential and put him in a position to excel both on and off the track.

We've heard nothing at all about the graduation contract since the 2004-05 academic year ended. Nothing has happened at all.

Ed took an interest in Maurice last year and did a lot as far as getting him to practice before the season,

The women had an outstanding day in placing second at the McPherson Invitational on a windy day. Six out of seven runners improved their times from last week's meet. Overall, the women ran about a minute faster on the Rolling Acres course compared to a year ago.

The three days in jail he's had now could be like a year for some. In jail I worry about his ability to deal with what is going on.

Powerful restraining forces are impacting the consumer, and this will result in slower growth in the latter part of this year and into 2005,

They enabled him to do a lot of things that maybe he wanted to do that we couldn't do the year before.

This is our biggest game of the year right now. For the seniors, this is the biggest game of their career. A lot of the seniors haven't played in a game like this.

Andrea Courtney is a freshman and has been playing No. 1 all year. She's an All-Conference player, but playing No. 1 as a freshman is not easy. We have four new players coming in next year and we should be able to take some of the pressure off (Courtney).
