E. P. Thompson Ball Quotations

We did everything we were suppose to do but put the ball in the hole.

We went into a period there where we could not hit the broad side of a barn. We knew we had to shoot the ball well, since they are so much bigger than us, we knew we would not rebound.

We were down early in the doubles point because we are used to them being aggressive and coming to the net, but today they were staying back and lobbing the ball more. So we were the ones who had to be aggressive in order to get the win.

We shot the ball for about an hour and a half after school today; it's a good thing we did.

We played pretty well the second half. We got a good game from Lee Turner. He rebounded the basketball well and I?d say he was close to our leading scorer.

Football and television are like the couple running in slow motion at each other on the beach. They form the perfect marriage.

They're just staying back on the ball and hitting to all fields. I had a lot of these guys in summer ball growing up, and that's the way they've always done it.

I heard a great explanation from Debbie Colberg, the volleyball coach at Sacramento State. She said the reason coaches scream is not for the kids, it is for the adults. If a kid screws up, yelling lets everyone know that, 'I didn't teach the kid to do that.' There's a feeling that I've got to yell or people won't think I am coaching.

I think the kids were more relaxed and they had a chance to time him. We've been working hard on keeping the ball down. Last week we were hitting a lot of pop ups and tonight we hit more line drives.
