Rick Clark Quotations

We?re in the ballpark. We?d have to play really well (to win today) and they?d have to be a little off, but we?re there.

We are going to have to key on (Kyle) Irwin and (Wesley Dickinson). They are a good team, with a pair of really good teams.

We really have seven starters. It just depends on the match-ups, and I thought both Ryan and Philip did a nice job. Really, I thought Adam Pier did a nice job also.

This puts us back in the hunt for the MIC. This is a nice win, we hit free throws and we handled the press well.

We had a very nice third quarter. Our shooting came around a bit. Taylor is a tough defensive team and they play hard.

We were close. I figured that if we could make them think they might lose, we could win.

Mo has reached the level I hoped she would be at. She?s great on defense and comes up with a lot of steals from her forward position, and that?s pretty rare.

If the tournament started tomorrow, I think we?d be all right. But there?s still three weeks. Our main focus is just to remain sharp.

I thought what a waste. We have to do something with that view.

I think what we're really looking for is a plan, ... I haven't personally gone through the buildings so I'm not sure exactly what all the conditions are inside.

I was uncertain about some of that, and with his experience with the board, that was a big issue I talked to him about,

That?s what happened last time. Against a team like this you can?t have a 3-minute letdown.

We've made some investments in the area, so we believe it's a very strategic property and want to see it developed properly. It will be something thousands of people drive by every day.

We have had a rough road recently. We are now 5-2 in the conference and have our 11th win. This will be our 20th year with a winning record so we are proud of that. The kids have worked hard and I think this five game stretch is going to help us in the long run.

We need to have some time to get some practice in now. We need to get a little rest and work on our timing.

We needed to get off to a better start. This game was much different than the one against Twin Lakes. There was a lot of tough man-to-man defense and apparently they weren't fouling. We had our chances, but we didn't hit the open shot when we needed it most.

We did a very nice job against their press early. Then they dropped out of it and started giving us trouble in the half court. We just stood around too much in the second quarter.

We had a 6 1/2-hour ride home one night during a storm. Another time our game was postponed and we ended up playing at 8 a.m. We left York at 5:30.

(Twin Lakes) likes to press. So you're never really safe against them.

A steeple is a beacon for the community,

Defense has been the strength of this team for three years.

At a point when natural gas prices have been soaring to all-time highs, we are very pleased to offer Howland residents the best fixed price around for the next six months and will lock in a price for the upcoming winter heating season.

It was senior night, and I always look for those guys to step up. Philip did a good job with his quick hands deflecting passes.

It?s been an easy year. The kids are great. They?re all very intelligent girls, well-behaved and they like each other.

It's great to see. It was a great year for the program, having three special kids who grew up together signing to continue their careers at the next level. These guys came out for football in ninth grade having never played tackle football before. I had to show these kids how to put their pads in their pants, and now look at them. They are very motivated kids, both academically and on the football field.

They did a nice job really to lull us to sleep in the first half. There were doing what they needed to do. We decided to press in the second half. We did that just to get things moving which was what we needed.

It was just nice all around play tonight. The kids got a lead and then kept their composure. The Peru game really helped prepare us for Western's pressure. We now have control over our own destiny in the conference.

Against a team like this, you can't have a three-minute letdown. You're going to pay for it one way or the other, at the foul line or easy baskets.

I have no problem with our defense. I know our defense is going to make them work. My concern is that we have to be sharper and more confident on offense. That?s a big concern.

I love our kids. They worked hard all year and they never gave up. I am very proud of this senior group. I can't tell them anything that will make them feel better right now, but they should know they had a great year.

I played a lot of different combos than I usually do, because I wanted to make sure the seniors got a lot of playing time. I put some players at different positions just so I could get them in, so it kind of threw our offensive movement off a bit. I was pleased overall with the effort, and we got out of it with no injuries.

Gray was a very good game for us. It was a good way to bounce back after Lake Region. We had a lot of balanced scoring and we played solid defense. Part of our offense comes off our defense and if we lose that, we?re in trouble. We had both going for us against Gray.
