S. Walker Played Quotations

If we have more heart and desire than they do -- and I believe we do -- we'll do OK. Baseball is not a game played on paper. On paper, they win.

We're playing real well right now. We seem to be peaking when we need to. These girls have played together a long time, and next week is when it counts. Everyone's record is 0-0. Hopefully we can keep it going.

We met a lot of people in Detroit and we all got along really well and we were all like-minded. I played bass with the (Detroit) Cobras for awhile and I recorded on the first White Stripes record and sat in with lots of other people. We all kind of came up together. It's an honest association. It's a small collective group of people who played music and were into the same thing before all the hype. We all have the same roots.

I thought both defenses played better than the score indicated. I think our defense, which was much maligned, gave us a chance to win. They made some plays.

I was mad I got in foul trouble the past two games. But my team had my back in those games. Coach told me to not put my head down and the team needs me. So I went back out and played hard.

Our mind-set as an offense is to keep the ball away and try to control the clock. If we have the ball, we feel we can control the game and the game can be played at whatever tempo we want it to be played at.

(Lockett) played solid. It was one of her better games of the season.

We played extremely well. Anything under 300 is really good golf. I thought we might have a chance at doing it.

This will be a test for us after spending the better part of a month on the road. We haven't played particularly well at home. We should win more games here.

The pass rush from our front four was awesome, ... We played the entire final quarter with a four-man rush. Josh Edgin, Andy Eshleman, Warren Gilchrist and Vince Shetter really stepped it up. They put pressure on their QB to make bad decisions and we had our share of sacks.

When we played them before, we didn't bring our heads, our bats or our arms. They brought themselves, and that's it. I was dumbfounded, really.

Facing Dallas, it's bigger than your biggest rival ever in college or high school. It's a real rivalry and we haven't even played in a regular-season game yet, so it's something just growing on its own.

We wish we could have started the second half better. We dug ourselves into a hole. But these last five, six weeks, we've played great.

Baseball is not a game played on paper. On paper, they win.

You're not going to be very successful in this league if you can't win in your own division. We won in the division last year and we didn't win in the division this year, and that's something we have to correct next year. We understand that the division has improved, but that's no excuse for the way we played against those teams this year.

This is the best defense we've played all year. Their linebackers are incredible, their front four is dominant and their secondary is fast.

There's a lot of new players that I haven't played with. I didn't know half of the team when we started.

For 35 minutes we played very well. I said to my players at half-time I couldn't believe what was happening out there. I think Cove had seven or eight chances and scored six.

It's unfortunate 50 points will have to go into the record book. I thought both defenses played better than the score indicated.

I personally didn't overlook them, because we overlooked a game last year and we ended up losing. I don't think the rest of the team did because they understand that this is our last game to get to Peoria. I thought we came out and played hard.

I don't know if I've ever had a game quite like that one. We've played a lot of games like that, so I guess I should learn to expect things like that.

Before that I had one day's work in The Bowery Boys Go To Africa. I played Tarzan. The Bowery Boys were about to take Jane back to civilization, and I discouraged them from doing that.

The coaches make the decision. I'm a lot younger. BC has played in big games. Book has played against the Ohio States. I'm young. The only thing they can do is build my confidence as a player.
