At 14-0, [the game's] still manageable. At 21-0, we're in trouble. |
That's amazing. This is a huge meet. It's a big meet for Sam and a big accomplishment to swim with the best talent in the state. |
This [move] shows that the TAAC is growing. Adding the two teams gives us a fuller schedule with six league games instead of four. We have more competition, and there's also more interest in the league since it is spread over a wider part of Northwest Ohio. |
Twenty million dollars is a lot of money. It goes very, very quickly when there's a lot of hands out there. |
We didn't come into it – this is going to sound bad – to win it, to beat Snider. They're a top-eight team in the state. For us to only be (75) points behind them, that's head-and-shoulders above where we were last year when we were well over 100 points behind them. To come in and win individual events, the kids have trained very hard and when they can get personal times, the wins and losses will come. Our goals are best times and state cuts. |
We knew we were going to have major problems stopping Mitchell. We had two girls on her, but we don't have two that are as big and strong and as athletic. |
We never looked at aerial or ownership maps. I do that on purpose because I don't want to know. I don't want to be influenced. |
We're on the upswing, and we have a lot of good athletes in the program. On the line we have a lot of experience, and we have some good skill players as well. |
