Charlie Williams Quotations

If we continue to postpone funding, not only would we lose money, but we could be in violation of our contract.

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). He knew what he wanted to do when he came here. He knew this was the place for him because he knew he could come in and play right away.

He was very well-respected as a major league ump, but I always imagined it had to be tough for a young African-American to work his way through the minor leagues in the '70s,' Reed said.

We lost the game, but I'm somewhat pleased with the effort. We've got a lot of young players. We have a lot of first-year players.

I was a librarian years ago, and I really liked reading the fun books (to kids) because the kids would always run and check those books out later. It did get them excited about reading, and I'm happy to see that.

Just because the Teamsters are a universally recognized union doesn't mean they will have any more rights than the FOP had. That may be something they will have difficulty adjusting to.

I thought it was very interesting because I learned new things about him.

That was a win we've needed for a while. This is the best we've hit the ball all year.

That was out key component tonight. We played better defense tonight.

Too many errors and walks, the later it got the more errors and the more we threw it around. It was a win, but it wasn't a pretty win.

We got a little more aggressive at the plate, we're not looking at so many. It was a good win for us and it might build our spirits up.

They knew about (the losing streak) because I told them. I wanted that ball. But Travis pitched a good game, and I gave it to him. We're growing, but we've still got a long way to go. I'm extremely proud of them. We're trying to build this thing back up where it needs to be.

They out hit us. Errors caught up to us. Our entire outfield has little experience. Our left fielder (Jackson) is a 10th-grader. Our left-center fielder (Tori Paxton) is a 10th-grader. Our right fielder (Jones) is a track star. Our right-center fielder (Sara Waldrop) has had a little experience. We've only got three players with any experience. But I think we're going to be OK.

It's easier to get public sentiment for police and fire than most any other type of employee. The thing I hope the Teamsters don't do is come in here with a big bat and spend all the public relations that have been built up over the years. That would be easy to do.

It's already been tried. St. Christopher's in Richmond applied to join the VHSL way back, but they were rejected.

Everybody makes noises when they're kids. But when you reach a certain point, you stop so you can be gainfully employed.

It wasn't a legal battle. What we had to use was public sentiment, public relations and politics. It was a discussion where one side had all the power, but the other side had a tremendous amount of good will. That's what you fought back with.

They just out-hit us. Our pitcher was doing a good job and even took the ball to the outside, but they were hitting that too.

I'm proud of my team tonight with the way they fought back and showed me they have heart. We got some clutch hits tonight, but we cant seem to put a complete game together.

I love the Cardinals, and I think they are getting overlooked a little. But the White Sox do deserve a lot of credit, and people are just giving them their due.

I have yet to see any tests predict the success or failure of any teacher in the classroom, ... Passing the bar exam doesn't mean that you are going to be a great lawyer. Obviously, passing the bar exam doesn't mean you are going to be a good politician either.

I'd rather lose outright than come back then loose like that.

He plays exactly how he practices - full speed. He's very confident in what he does. He listens. He learns. He works to get better every day.

You can stand up in front of a bunch of four-year-olds and just say 'toilet,' and they'll start laughing.
