I think we're all cognizant of the fact that we have the most beautiful spot on Earth, but the real draw are the people in Hawaii. It's the aloha spirit that people feel when they arrive here. We want to do all we can to support that. |
I think were asking a little too much to think about it having that kind of impact. But it's not going to do any damage whatsoever. It would be nice to see some effect from it. It's going to be a pretty important final month for Matt. |
I think what's great about the award in general is that it wasn't something that we went out and manufactured. It's something that happened because of the work we were doing and the fact that people were paying attention to that work. |
I think, especially in our business we meet a lot of people, and sometimes you spend so much time being nice to strangers, and so, you know, keeping a clear head and just being nice to each other. And that's all the advice I can give. |
I think, No. 1, he has a deep desire to teach these youngsters. His players and his students come first. He gets excited and motivated when players want to come and want to work hard. That's what kept his juices going all these years. |
I thought coming into this we were evenly matched. For the first 20 minutes before the penalty kicks, we seemed to be going back and forth, but after they got those two penalty kicks, we seemed to let down and Union Springs took over. |
I thought everybody used the 12th Man. I can't believe they're really serious about it. I know for me, as a defensive player, our 12th Man is huge. I need the 12th Man. They give us an advantage. I just hope this thing just goes away. |
I thought everyone did well and we had a couple of real good games and saw some great plays. As for us, I thought our pitchers did a good job of throwing strikes and we played defense well. We got on base and scored when we needed to. |
|
I thought in the first quarter, we looked pretty good. But when we started to go down a couple of goals, we got some bad penalties. We have to be more aware of where their shooters are on the field, especially in a man-down situation. |
|
I thought that we got into [our] transition offense, but they were doubling in the post and they were very physical. They just got back [on defense]. Some days that is going to happen, you are not going to get as much transition-wise. |
I thought that we really adjusted well from the first half to the second half, which is a good indication of how well these kids do at adjusting. We did a much better job of defending penetration and we got on the boards a lot better. |
I thought that would be a normal safety measure that would be installed. Whatever they cost, you have to compare that to the cost of a life. If we could have prevented the accident a few weeks ago, it would have been money well spent. |
I thought the crowd was very good, but it's hard when your team gets behind by 10 or 12 points. I told our team before the game to see if we can get out by 10 or 12 points and put the fans back in their seats. We were able to do that. |
