I think youth is not a panacea. In Eric's case, he had an understanding of what we're tying to do. He has good communication skills, an ability to understand and identify problems, an ability to teach and develop. Finally, he has a thirst and desire to not only manage, but to be part of a leadership team to help turn things around. |
I thought our girls played absolutely wonderful. To go on the road and play a top team that close was great. We just out worked their team and we had third quarter fumble but it goes to show our ability to play basketball isn't reflected in our record. Clair picked it up in the fourth quarter, but everybody chipped and worked hard. |
I thought we had a great meet. Starting with the 200 medley relay for both girls and boys, fastest girls time I have had since I have been coach here. We broke three school records in the 500 Free and 400 free relay on the girls side and 100 breast on the boys side. I always want more, but I thought we did a great job of competing. |
I took an oath, not to protect unions, but to do what is in the best interest to protect the welfare of the citizens of Palm Springs. When I look at the people who are employed there and the million-dollar tax base it's brought in, how could I in clear conscience say no? I am a Democrat to the core, but I am an independent thinker. |
I walked up to the customer, and said, 'I think I know what she wants,' ... They bought the rug and he never said another word about me not selling. He was born in America, but was an Armenian man from a different era. He adapted and accepted the idea of a daughter in a non-secretarial position, and he complimented me to everyone. |
I was hoping for a few more. But there's not much you can do about that now. Our section has been one of the tougher sections in the south over the last four or five years. You need to have a good tournament, and those five did. That's why they're moving on. Now they have to go and put another good tournament together this weekend. |
I was never happy that my injuries cut my career short and ultimately forced my decision to step away from tennis. I have enjoyed my time away from the court. However, I miss the game and the challenge of competing at the highest level of tennis and I want to gauge whether I can stay healthy and compete against today's top players. |

I was really anemic. We still haven't figured out what happened, but as I started training harder and breathing more heavily and intensely, scar tissue started cutting my lungs and I started bleeding inside. I kept racing so it never healed. I have been working on with a breathing machine the past six months to strengthen my lungs. |
I was really uplifted here. There are heroes to this story and they are the local leaders and private citizens who banded together in the individual communities that were devastated to just get the job done in the initial days, with no help in those initial days coming in from outside, they got it done and they are the real heroes. |
I was winning the fight with one eye. If I was him and I would've seen me, I would've gone for broke. But he didn't because he felt the wrath of what I carry in my right and left hands. A very few minor adjustments and I will knock him out this time. He knows I was winning. The world knows I was winning. I was winning with one eye. |
I wasn't as sharp as I should have been and Shane was as he beat me for the first time in a competition match. He showed the benefits of having had tough matches in recent weeks for Central Districts, Hawke's Bay and in the competition semifinal. I haven't been pushed this season but that's not an excuse ... Shane deserved his win. |
I would compare it to reading a book and not knowing what you read. When you sat down and reflected on it, you weren't quite sure what you read. I think there's a science and an art to everything and I think the more experienced and mature you get, the better you're able to understand exactly what you see and how to interpret that. |
I would think if we can beat Norris City (Tuesday night), I think we can get one of the top four seeds. Benton will be one of the strongest teams in the complex. They beat (Hamilton County), we split with (Hamilton County), and our other two losses are to Marion and Carbondale. I think we're one of the top six teams no matter what. |
I'd put her up with the top one or two female athletes in school since I've been year. She'd probably start on the football team if girls played football. She can do anything. She's a true athlete, a gifted athlete. She could be a Division I keeper. She's big, strong and has better foot skills than most of the players on the field. |
