I think the sectional has really been great preparation for us. We had three really different scenarios, and we had to come through the tough half of the bracket. I think our kids really focused on what they had to do. I think our schedule really prepared us for what we were going to see. |
I think the way we played was the most important not necessarily the outcome of the game. We had a poor performance (Friday) night, taking nothing away from Minnesota, because they had a lot to do with that. But we really needed to come out with a good team effort, and that's what we did. |
I think there are major risks in sales and margins when you're a middleman. More and more companies are buying direct and don't see a need for Helen of Troy. Their brands are not that powerful, ... This doesn't mean it can't bounce back. They have to be shrewd and quick to right the ship. |
I think there's a negative psychology in technology, and we're not out of October yet. I think there are mostly continued concerns on technology in general, but particularly on spending on telecom. When you look at which parts of technology are the weakest today, you see networking first. |
I think they're pretty well in step with other counties. The state just rolled out its voter education program last week. There really isn't anything they could have done. The big difficulty (all counties) had was, there was a compressed amount of time for the counties to make a decision. |
I think we can say something good about high school basketball. Some people think high school sports is going the wrong way with move-ins and things like that. We're a community team. These kids have known each other since the third grade. We can be a role model for how it should be done. |
I thought Angelo did well considering he was thrown in there with no notice. The one thing about being a backup is you have to prepare like you're about to play. He does a great job of preparing, and (linebackers coach) Don Blackmon does a great job of preparing the backups like starters. |
I thought he'd be a pretty good prospect. He had the heart and determination to learn. He was kind of like a sponge - he wanted to learn everything. Everything he's accomplished, he's accomplished in four years. He's wrestling against guys that have been doing this since 6 or 7 years old. |
I thought in the second half we did a good job on the offensive boards, getting some second-shot opportunities. That gave us a few easier baskets. Kirby and Lauren did a good job in the post area. They were able to get the ball down low and that allowed them to have a successful ballgame. |
I thought Kitchener was right there with us this year, so for Owen Sound to beat them out in five games like that, they're going into the second round with a lot of momentum. Teams like that are dangerous. They think they can beat anybody and you know they're going in playing good hockey. |
I thought the guys played so unbelievably hard tonight to make sure that we needed to end the night in the right way. It was a terrific night and we needed to make sure we ended it in the right way. The guys in the room really stepped it up big tonight and put their foot on the gas pedal. |
I took my script first to the British, then to the Americans and finally to the French. Nobody wanted the material. Peter van Eyck was the Cultural Officer for the Americans and he gave me to understand, in broken German 'that we Germans could forget about films for the next twenty years' |
I used to get 10, 20 bunt hits a year a long time ago. Now I get five or six a year. I kind of pick my spots. I'll probably attempt a lot more than that. Guys still play me in at third base and in a little at second base. I always look. If the opportunity's there, I might as well take it. |
I want to give helpful advice as far as a career in the industry. I'm looking forward to being back in Woodbridge. Virginia can be described as 'the heartland,' and there's a lot of talk in the industry whether people in 'America proper' are being served by or talked down to by Hollywood. |
I wanted to take the shot. I usually make my shots from that spot, so when I got the ball I knew it was going up. I live for situations like that. I'm not going to let us down, not going to let us lose. I love my team. We have a mission, to win the state, and we won't stop until we do it. |
