He knew what he had to do in the classroom to get back on the court. And he worked hard to do that and now he's back helping us win games. |
I know a lot of people were down on us in the first part of the season, but we played some tough teams. We played Peoria Manuel, Danville, Lincoln. We didn't play the 'Weak Sisters of the St. Teresa.' I think that prepared us for this playoff run. |
I think that is fantastic. You don't need any more time than that. |
If you want to get this drug, you can get it, |
It didn't matter where we had to come to to play this game. This team is coming together at the right time. |
It was ugly. I came home a couple times to see 'For Sale' signs in the yard. It was rough. |
One concern with this plan was that these children would be labeled as Lillian Emery children. Has that been a problem? |
Right now, I'm almost at a loss for words. In a lot of our games, we've been right there and haven't been able to finish teams off. It happened again tonight. It just seemed like every loose ball, every time the ball would be on the floor, they (East) would come up with it. They just wanted worse then we did. |
She just loves school, ... She is a school person. She loves children and life. She is a very good example for the kids. |
The United Way organizations are an example of hope in what they provide. |
This is an unbelievable feeling. Coming in and knocking off the No. 1 seed and advancing to the sectional with a losing record. It's going to be a nice two-hour yellow bus trip home. |
We have been playing tough since the playoffs have begun. We didn't have (guard Anthony) Watson for the first part of the season. He was ineligible for the first half. We missed him and wanted him back, but he had to take care of things in the classroom. He did. He worked real hard to get back. |
We have over 11,000 students in our corporation and many of them have needs. We know reading and literacy is so important in whether a child is successful or not. We can do these things with the help of the community. This is a community effort. |
We just tried to play solid man-to-man defense. Early in the game we weren't rotating the way we needed to but we made a few adjustments and played pretty well in the second half. |
We like to have our professional development days early because with a system this size, there are so many new teachers. We want to make sure they get off to a good start. We also want to use what we learn during professional development days, and this gives us time to do that. |
