Gene Watson Quotations

Our kids kept us in the ballgame and we probably could've been closer if we had made some easy baskets in close. I told the kids they played hard, they played their guts out, and took a good team and made them play hard.

It was an outstanding race for so early in the year. Stephen is not in his best shape at all yet and to run 49.8 this early in the year is great.

There's a comfort level that the other classes don't have. They don't feel inhibited to ask certain questions.

John and I are good friends and we've performed from the same stage before. I don't know how his part of the concert is set up, but I'll take mine from 'Love in the Hot Afternoon,' the song that got me started, and bring the people right up to date. I'll be skipping through the career and covering as much as we can in the allotted amount of time we have.

This is the best we have run as a team under very difficult weather conditions. We're closing the gap on Carbondale. We've picked up points on them over the last couple of weeks. We'll give them a run for their money at the conference meet.

I was very pleased with the efforts. It was an outstanding start. We've got to get in shape and get Jeff healed up. There's a long season ahead of us.

Our two freshmen ran exceptionally well. Down the road, they could help us out on the varsity team.

She's a high-strung, high-intensity individual. She's an excellent student, too. She's intense, she's very competitive, and as hard-nosed as any kid out here. She bangs and bruises, will play hurt, and will give you everything she's got every minute she's there.

I thought the kids played hard the first quarter. I think they caught Althoff a little off-guard. They actually had to play a little bit in the first half and didn't quite know how to deal with it.

Stephanie had a real solid game and carried us for a while. We did real well as a team in the first half, we just couldn't put another half together to go with it.
