Finishing Quotations | Page 5

Last year we didn't shave or fully taper until state and we went from being ranked in the low 20s to finishing eighth in the 200 free relay. This year, who knows how much time we can drop. I don't know if Fenwick shaved and tapered for sectionals or not - I have no idea. But we're shooting for No. 1, and I think it's an attainable goal.

Just not being a new race team. Pretty much every guy on this team was here last year. That allowed us to work on our cars and be prepared over the winter time. I can remember a year ago the night before Bristol, finishing the car late at night on Thursday night and then come to Bristol.

J.P. wants to win. When you have a GM like that who isn't willing to settle for finishing third every year it causes a lot of changes. Last year we did the best we could to get in it and stay in it but it's nice to see that after the year we had, the first half we had, it still wasn't good enough, that we wanted to get better.

I think I went through my phase of feeling sort of invisible when I left my small hometown in Canada and moved to the big city of Vancouver. I kind of had to decide right there in that moment what I was going to do with the rest of my life and make a thousand decisions after finishing high school. Fortunately, I chose acting.

I can't say enough about the play of Jordan Angeli . It was really just an experiment to move her to the forward position. She has done a fantastic job. Finishing two quality goals against the team of the caliber that we played tonight showed what a great player she is.

I can't fault my kids for their effort and their heart. It seemed like we were one little play from finishing it off and we couldn't do it.

Growing pigs is not a difficult thing to do--being able to do it profitably and make a living, however, is much more difficult. This course will provide independent producers as well as contract growers with the tools and know-how to most effectively manage and operate their finishing facilities.

When my family did shy away from Indian food, we'd eat a lot of Chinese. We'd use the wok a lot. I never had a problem with Brussels sprouts or broccoli growing up. I always grew up with the mentality of finishing your plate.

I started a novel back in high school. It wasn't very good. It was the opposite of good. The writing itself wasn't too bad, and the characters were interesting. But the story was a mess, and it was full of fantasy cliches. Dwarf with an axe. Barbarian warrior. I don't ever think I'd bother finishing that. It's just not worth my time.

Our kids gave it everything they had today. We won three state champ?ionships today, and that's a good performance by any standards. Memorial just had a little more than we did. Our kids had another outstanding season. There's nothing wrong finishing second at the state meet.
