Troy Taylor Quotations

(Mack is) about 6-foot, her work ethic is good and she can shoot the jump shot. A couple colleges were at the Centennial game (Mifflin won 65-55 on Dec. 16) and they really like her because she can run the floor really well.

(Playing in the district final) was an excellent experience for us. We had nothing to lose going up against the No. 1 seed. I thought coming in that player-for-player we were OK and we were a lot quicker, but our shots didn't fall.

Like I've told people, don't feel sorry for us because we're going to compete. (Hinkle is) a great player and we were just trying to slow her down. We wanted them to beat us from the outside and were just trying to fly at them. When they got it back down to within five or six, we had to maintain and had to be poised.

Who in their right mind would use the downstairs one? ... If you heard footsteps overhead, wouldn't you hurry up a little?

We've got some scouting reports on them, and I think we kind of match up well with them. We're going to have to come in with our 'A' game. It'll be a big game and we get pumped up for the big games.

We're up there (in the ranks of weird spots and stories). Of all the books I've written, this one was the easiest. I could have written four times as much.

We had too much bad tackling and bad mistakes. Their scores were off what we did wrong.

The grass is so dead - you might as well have matches sitting out there.

Puppies are going to cry and dogs are going to bark. That's just the way they are. I don't want a $50 fine every time someone calls and complains about my dogs barking at a tractor going down the road.

For at least a few hours, they can forget about the troubles of the world and enjoy a nice atmosphere without having to deal with the stress of the holiday.

It's not a social event for people who go to their games. And I will absolutely be there watching them again next year.

They kept blitzing the 'A' gap. They were bringing too many people for us to handle.

They will have the experience when they get back there so they know what to expect. Everything about the tournament won't be new.

I believe in ghosts. I just don't believe in everything I hear. I've had enough unusual experiences of my own to know there's something out there. ... Most people grow out of it. I never did.
