Davis Quotes from:
-
Andy Quotes
Andy had informed us that he was considering playing in our qualifying tournament, as direct entries were closed and our wild cards had been distributed weeks in advance. However, he did not commit and after careful consideration following training today, Andy told us that he would not participate in the qualifying tournament. He instead will remain in South Florida and resume training for the upcoming Davis Cup tie. We were obviously looking forward to Andy's participation, we wish him good luck next week and we hope he will play next year.

Arena Quotes
Dr. Lott managed significant reductions in state funding over the first four years of his administration without cutting funds to the arts. He secured funding for the construction of the Jefferson Davis Campus (JD) Arena Theatre in Gulfport and the renovation of the college's existing arts facilities. Finally, he implemented a leadership-development program with a strong connection to the arts. All this made him an obvious choice for this award.
-
Cup Quotes
Sometimes these Davis Cup doubles are on a knife's edge, especially when it's a 1-1 scenario, it shows how pivotal they are, but this was a good effort, tough players those two guys. You've got Max ranked three in the world (in doubles) and the other guy's a hell of a hitter of the ball. These are not easy to win. That was a very good performance.
-
Barbara Quotes
Santa Barbara is a very good team. They are currently ranked No. 10, and more than anything, we will expect them to be really physical. This will be a good opportunity for us to see if we learned and improved upon some things from playing Davis because it will probably be a similar type of game.
-
Best Quotes
After lengthy discussions with Antonio regarding his physical condition and his general sense of disappointment over his personally difficult year, we have concluded that it's in the best interest of both the organization and Antonio Davis to simply release him at this late point of the season.
-
Acquire Quotes
Adam Davis was one of the players that I liked watching when he played against us. He moves the puck well, is intelligent and can really skate. He wanted to come here. When a guy wants to play in Laredo I try to accommodate him because I know he will play hard for us. We actually were trying to acquire him last season prior to the trade deadline for our playoff push.
-
Accept Quotes
Coach Davis assumed one of most difficult challenges any coach can accept -- following a legendary predecessor. He has responded to these challenges with character, graciousness, with concern for the welfare of his players and with a determination to raise our program into the ranks of the very best in the nation.
-
Against Quotes
There wasn't a big difference between Davis and Salisbury during training camp, but it was obvious after our first two games that we needed to play better in the first quarter and be more solid in our decision making. We did those things against Los Angeles and won. Chad's experience was evident and we need to build from this.
-
Buy Quotes
At Davis Properties, we buy houses, typically that need repair, do the work and resell them. We buy houses from people in all different kinds of situations, houses that are going through foreclosure, divorce, any need to sell the house. Typically we make the repairs on them and sell them with owner financing or we work hand in hand closely with the mortgage broker.
-
Excited Quotes
It's a testament to the organization and to Mr. Davis that they're willing to go out and do those kind of things and get guys like Randy in here, re-sign Jerry, getting LaMont. It's a great feeling for me. I'm excited about the year. I'm excited to work hard and just see how good we can be and how we can all put it together.
-
Awkward Quotes
It was an awkward match to go out there and play. I knew I was heavily favored to go out there and win, but with Davis Cup, I've been in enough big ties and been the underdog in that many big matches that it's a different kind of pressure and it sort of levels itself out ... the competition out there.
-
Areas Quotes
Davis was a tough loss, but we are not going to dwell on it. There are areas we need to improve upon from the Davis game, and we are focusing on those things this week in practice. Having quality games this weekend at Santa Barbara is good for us because it gives us a chance to get right back into it.
-
Body Quotes
Davis has that big body and is a big guy. He wants to keep his body on you all the time. So I knew I had to keep moving, which was the mind-set I went into the game with. I tried to help with rebounds and defense and do what I could. Most of those shots I took tonight were shots I make often.
