Amity Quotations

Perhaps the strongest signal of reengagement with Southeast Asia was the U.S.'s accession to the Southeast Asian Treaty of Amity and Cooperation.

Certainly it was tough to lose, it was a great game though and I credit Amity because they played a great hockey game against us tonight.

Franklin High is here and Amity added some tough kids. Look at New Milford. They were second last year and they're fourth this year. Fourth with a good team that is top 10 in the state. We added some tough teams to the tournament this year.

Just not relax and say we beat Dayton and Amity last year, we made it to the playoffs so we'll make it again this year because we have all but four guys back. We still have a lot to prove. We can't just relax.

It is a challenge when you only have three defensemen and sometimes they have to play both ways. The guys get tired, which is why Amity scored both their goals off of turnovers.

I thought we got lucky. Amity's playing a lot better. When you're a ranked team everybody comes after you and that's what Amity did. We were lucky to keep enough composure to get out of here with a win.

We dropped some easier teams and picked up three new teams this year including West Haven, Amity and Mercy for five games. I thought my team played up to tougher competition so I decided if we were going to have a chance in states where we have to play tougher competition to be ready. It's definitely a tough schedule but I hope we can rise to it.

We had what I thought was a very good day. We thought we had an outside shot to win and Amity only beat us by four points for second place. I thought it would take seventy points to win and we scored sixty-one.

We tried to make it like a playoff game knowing that Amity was already in the playoffs and the kids remembered losing to them early so this was a huge game for us. We really stressed tightening up our defense and for the most part we did but we still have a lot of work to do.

This is a new high for our kids transferring to the State Open. It has been a very good day. We were in a tight race with Amity but had a good semifinal and also did well in the quarters.

Do not have any misunderstanding amongst you.  All of you should live in amity as the children of one mother.  

It's impressive. Amity Cares is a diverse group of people ranging from Amity high school students to churches and synagogues to businesses and lots of individuals. It's worked great to bring the community together.

I'm happy with the seven wins. We're one game away with four left and if we play like we did against Amity (a 10-6 loss Wednesday), we could win all four. We just have to do a better job of keeping the puck out of the (opponent's) net.

In the first half we built up a little of a lead, but we took some risks. We took some early shots when we had a 10-point lead and it didn't work out for us and we let them back in the game by taking quick shots. Amity came down and scored. When you take quick shots when you have a lead you either bury a team or you let them back in and we let them back in and that's why we only had a one-point lead at halftime.

Amity itself can only be maintained by reciprocal respect, and true friends are punctilious equals.

A harmonious society should feature democracy, the rule of law, equity, justice, sincerity, amity and vitality.

The first quarter we played extremely well. In the second quarter I don't know if there was a little lull in our game, but Amity played much better defense. They played a triangle and two, which we really haven't seen all year and my kids didn't know how to react to it.

Amity was missing swimmers and divers due to illness and injury. We had an early commanding lead and never looked back.

Amity played extremely hard. It may not show it on the scoreboard, but they forced us to execute on offense.

Amity is improved. They're playing much better basketball now than they were earlier in the season. Defensively, they came out and caused us problems. We didn't make a 3-pointer tonight. We didn't get that many looks. They took away the things that we like to do. We had to make some adjustments and go inside a little more. We were pretty successful getting the ball in and getting the foul. But they do a good job of taking away the things that are your strengths. Bruce does a really good job of that. He knows what you like to do.

Amity is a much-improved team. They kept battling the whole game.

There is a great amity between designing and art.
