It was pretty tough out there with the windy conditions. When we started off it wasn't as windy, but as we got along, it got really windy and dry. It was tough. I was really pleased with the score I had, and I had a lot of opportunities out there to even better it, but I'll take a 68 today. |
It was really great to get help from the Coast Guard. Saturday, the ships and tugs were kept down to three knots. Sunday, they shut down ship traffic altogether so the wave action would not flood the houses on Puget Island. That doesn't happen too often. Everybody has been very cooperative. |
It was really surreal when we were sitting in the fourth quarter and we were down by two scores, and you think you're going to win. You're playing a team that has won 34 straight games, and momentum is turning, and your defense is struggling. But we never thought we would lose the ballgame. |
It wasn't an easy decision to leave out Bobo, because I could have done that with two or three from the back four. But there's a limit to the players you have and the changes you can make. The reality is we're not defending well enough. But we just have to plug on. There's no magic formula. |
It will not take a modern Victorian specialist long to admit that liberal cultural heroes like John Stuart Mill, Arnold, Carlyle, Newman, Macaulay, Ruskin, George Eliot, and even Dickens had definite views on race and imperialism, which are quite easily to be found at work in their writing. |
It'd be great. That's what we're striving for, but not just in Boston. The goal is to get the U.S. back to where it was because we kind of became the joke of distance running internationally. And I can't stand for other countries to look at us like we're these 'lazy Americans.' I hate that. |
It's a bit disappointing [to not make the league playoffs] because we had such a great year. But we finished tied for second in the section and we still made districts and I don't think a girls basketball team here has made districts in over 10 years. So you can't be disappointed with that. |
It's a complicated system. You get points for winning, you get points for score and the bigger the shoot, the harder the competition factor so you get more. Looking at it all, he's got close to 300 points in this event. As long as he hits on some of (the other tournaments), he'll get there. |
It's a great feeling. I'm still reflecting on it. It's a huge win for our program. It's been a long time coming. A lot of people put a lot of effort into getting us into this position -- not the least of which is the kids. They are the ones that got it done on the ice. It's very gratifying. |
It's a great thing in recruiting, playing our first game on national television at a time when there is no other game. But I don't know if this game can get much bigger. Florida State and Miami kind of speaks for itself. Guys know if they want to be famous just make a big play in this game. |
It's a little frightening what's happening in Pickens County. Pickens County relies on the textile industry probably more than the surrounding counties as far as per capita employment, and as the economy adjusts to the China trade issues, it affects us here in Pickens County more than most. |
It's a long season. Everybody's tired, nobody is healthy, really. When (Harris) came off the injury, he was really never 100 percent. He's trying to feel his way back into playing basketball. Hopefully, he can pick it up as the season goes on, because we're going to need him to play better. |
It's a lot of, frankly, unexciting basic blocking and tackling. From an information security perspective, we have to make sure we have an understanding of what information is where and how it's protected, and make sure agencies responsible for data believe in the controls that are in place. |
It's a sobering realization when one fully absorbs the real impact that heart disease has on our lives and the lives of the people we love. We want to do our part to raise the level of awareness in our community and assist the local Atlantic County chapter of the American Heart Association. |
It's a tribute to their character that they just refuse to lose. They know they're not playing as well as they can in a seven-inning game, but when the chips are down, they rely on each other and they're not afraid. They don't believe they're done until the game is over. It's a unique team. |
