I felt like we really stepped it up a notch. I'm real proud of the kids.

I felt like Steve was missing some shots and they were making shots on him from the outside. I have Kyle on the side as my relief guy and he stepped up and did an excellent job and that got us back in the game a little.

I felt like our girls stepped up and hit the shots when we needed them. We'll try and enjoy the win, but we have to be ready to turn our attention to GAC.

I feel like we are at a point where we can match up no matter who is out there. People stepped up at crucial times tonight. We have young guys that aren't that young anymore considering the minutes they are playing. They are a huge lift off the bench.

I feel like today I played a lot better. The other night I felt like I was just a second or two off in my reactions. Today I felt like I stepped it up a little and was more consistent and was in control of the points more.

I did nothing wrong, ... I had nothing to do with the day-to-day operation. It was my idea to form this group. I helped to organize it. I have other things to do. I stepped away and moved on.

I did nothing but theater until, I guess, '99. I was all the way through college the first time that I had stepped in front of a camera. And it's weird; it's definitely a transition.

I can't say enough about my girls. One of my starters (Morgan Monroe) wasn't here tonight and that made it difficult, but the other girls stepped up. They executed our game plan, just about to perfection.

I can't say enough about Austin. He stepped up and ran the point and played good press defense full court the entire game and hit shots. He had a great game.

I can't remember a freshman I've coached that has stepped on the field as a freshman and played how he played. You have to be somebody special (to contribute as a true freshman).

Give credit to them because of how disruptive they were on defense. Once we made a run their defense stepped right back up.

Give credit to (Stockton). They really stepped up their game, and it's disappointing for us since every point means so much right now. I don't think it was a situation where we came out and took the night off. I think our guys played hard and we gave it everything we could. It just wasn't one of our nights where things went our way.

Getting him experience for Vancouver is part of the equation. But he also is a guy who has stepped up at every level. The bigger the event, the better he performs. On a pure competitive level, he's the wave of the future.

(French) was in control. He stepped up and played the best game of his career so far.

From a selfish standpoint, for me, he's a great basketball player. But for the franchise, and for everything Ronny has done in this state, it's the biggest one we've ever had. And he hasn't even stepped on the floor yet.

From such defensive, separated worlds some youngsters have indefensibly stepped across a moral line and taken up their lethal rucksacks, ... The deeper alienations that lead to terrorism may have their roots in these young men's objections to events in Iraq or elsewhere, but the closed communities of some traditional Western Muslims are places in which young men's alienations can easily deepen.

I don't think anybody could have seen the way Willie has come on, but he stepped in when Jerome and Duce were hurt and took advantage of the opportunity, and we've been able to take advantage of his speed and his big-play ability.

I don't think we slowed down their speed, we stepped up and played with them. We made some adjustments to our offense and I let the defense pick the style they wanted to play.

I enjoyed playing with everybody, no one particular person. Everybody shot the ball. The second half we stepped our defense up and we just went out there and played the right way.

I enjoyed about 25 minutes of that game. For that time we matched the intensity of the Florida Lady Gators. But at that time their energy stepped up - probably because of the mistakes we made - and they were consistent.

I don't think it was fatigue. They just rimmed out, hit the back of the rim. When we really needed shots in the end, guys stepped up and made key shots.

I don't think it was as much Ben, ... Certainly, he finished strong, he got us down there and we scored on that last drive. That's one encouraging thing that came out of it -- when we had to have it, he stepped up and did it. He handled it very well.

I don't think it was a lack of effort, it was a lack of execution a few times. I'm really proud of the way several of our kids stepped up tonight. They became team leaders, not only on the football field but in the locker room too. We did some things that have not been done before that this team needed. Some in-house soul cleansing.

I don't think it took a goalie change to do anything. After the second period, things were going good. It was just a matter of time. It was just the team's work ethic. And Jaromir Jagr stepped up for us.

I don't think I've done that this year. Last year I did all right, but this year I've been struggling. I stepped it up a little bit tonight.

From the opening round to the final hole, Seth had a great tournament. He gave us exactly what we need and stepped up in a big way. I'm very pleased and proud with how Seth battled.

For three, four minutes, their defense looked impenetrable. But then we settled down and made shots. Guys stepped up like champs.

Glen just stepped up and carried us today.

Glen Dorsey stepped up. He's going to be a great leader and a tremendous player for us inside.

If it was a rookie or some guy who had never started sitting behind Boller, I think there would be some concerns. But knowing what Wright can do -- he's been in this spot before -- that doesn't concern me too much. When he stepped in on Sunday, he kind of picked up where he left off.

I give them all the credit in the world. They stepped up, kept them in the game and carried them. They did more than carry them. They had the lead.

I got a little tight. So, I just stepped out and let someone else pitch. Everything is fine.

He was throwing lazy jabs at me with his chin up. I stepped in with my jab and fired a right hook, then a straight left and it landed on the button.

He was the hero of the day. We were battling Montrose for second or third place, and Jake passed two Montrose kids in the last 50 meters to make a huge swing in the points totals. Last year he was our 7th runner or top JV running, so he's really stepped up and filled the gap.

He was the heart and soul of our program the last two years. He started as a sophomore, but he was young then. The last two years, everything surrounded him on offense and defense. He stepped up to that challenge and put us on his back during that period and got Grove City back on the map in basketball.

He's a young guy, but he stepped up. That's what we needed.

He had a tremendous defensive rebound and they fouled him. He had missed his last three free throws, but he stepped up and drained them both.

He has been a consistent performer over the last three years and he performs in the very big matches. He has really stepped up for the biggest games at Twickenham.

Greg really battled and made some great pitches to get out of some jams. The bases were loaded against him without the ball leaving the infield and it didn't affect him. He stepped up and showed his maturity and poise as a pitcher.

He (Healy) really stepped up his game. He took the team on his back, trying to take up the slack with Sam (Barnes) out with a sprained ankle.

Heidi stepped in for us and had some great serves for us. We got a lot of points off of her serves. I think just her placement (was excellent), she was probably the most accurate for us.

He has stepped in and performed at a very high level,

He (Eden) has been big for us rebounding, defensively and shooting. I wouldn't say a surprise for this year, but he's a kid who has stepped up over and beyond what I expected for him this year. And David Spencer had a heck of a game. He's a kid that's getting better and better every night. He's a junior that's only been playing since eighth grade, so he's going to get better and better as the year goes on, too.

He'll play 40 minutes, and then he'll come back and won't want to sit out at practice. He is a competitor, and he's stepped his game up here recently.

He may have gotten a little bit tired, but I thought he was a factor for us, because he could go get the basketball. I thought he helped us a great deal defensively a couple of times. He stepped way out and tried to give us help on Paul, so he couldn't have the lane to get on top of the basket.

He must teach evolution exclusively observable scientific fact, not beliefs or religion. I fully believe he will comply. He just stepped over the line.

He came in fresh and ready to go. He's good at doing that. He was seeing things and made the big plays. The receivers stepped up with him and helped him out.

When he was thrown into the fire as a freshman, he stepped up to the plate and delivered. Anytime he had the opportunity to throw, even though it was a run-oriented offense, we made big plays.

We've gone as much as 10 deep (players off the bench) in games and Corey's really stepped up for us.

We swam pretty well, considering it wasn't a big meet. I thought they stepped up and raced against each other. This meet was a good chance to see the new kids. I have 17 freshmen this year and I need to get a feel for what they can do. We know a meet against Rosary is going to be very tough.

We swam extremely well. We had 44 personal best times and raced competitively. A number of kids really stepped up. We did some good things.

We think both the governor and the utility stepped over the line. This is getting into real sticky territory.

We thought we were quicker than they were and I thought we could wear them down. Defensively, we just had five kids coming at them the whole time. Offensively, Darrell is instant offense, L.J. stepped up tonight and I thought Charles Miller was outstanding.

When I played, teams didn't have as many (pitchers) who slide stepped (to home plate) as they do today,

When I played here, we never faced them (Sewanee). For several years, there was so much bad blood there the two teams didn't play. Thankfully the right people stepped in and got things going again.

Today I felt like I stepped it up a little bit better and was more consistent.

What you saw tonight is not unusual for Roy. This was a big stage and we've had trouble winning games in this park. He stepped up, and took control, and did a super job.

What you saw tonight is not unusual, ... Boy, he stepped up large for us tonight and just took control of the ballgame. He just absolutely dominated the game.
