Paul Wright Quotations

Our bench looked like an emergency room after a train wreck. We fought until the end but could not capitalize on any opportunities.

The second half I tried out a few new looks.

I'm not surprised at all by how we played. We have a lot of talent this year, and it's great to open the season against a team like Fenwick. You are able to find out right away where you stand.

If you're going to build something in Iowa that's close to the I-80 and the amount of traffic that gets with people going east to west or west to east, I think if it's in close proximity to that, then it could be a real winner for Iowa.

The $95 was for a group in Chicago where everyone pitched in $5.

Most of the instruction will be hands-on. We'll demonstrate how to use the equipment and they'll be able to follow.

You can't just stick one of these things anywhere and say it's going to work. If it's going to be done anywhere else, it has to have some empathy with what is in the local area itself. Linked with farming or whatever.

I thought we should have taken the tournament. It's nice to have a tournament at the beginning of the season because you can try things out and let the chemistry develop, but it's hard to work on technique and tactics with no practice (time). I think everybody is physically drained.

These guys work real hard together and have been willing to take on new roles for the benefit of the team. The team is unselfish and stands behind one another. Even with all the injuries we are constantly having people step up and answer the call.

I see an industry that's really washed out in most areas. Expectations are low.
