Decided Quotes
I think we're probably the first school to try to play all the Division I schools in Florida . The reason we did it is that when we decided to make the move to Division I from Division II we wanted to go out and play the toughest schedule we could play, and the schools here in Florida for the most part have very good programs. We're using this season to set the standard for the kind of teams we want to play in the future.
-
Events Quotes
I think what makes it's a big accomplishment because we're not hiding him. He is racing different events and doing a full training schedule all the time. It's not by design; he just does not like to lose. That type of streak would be like a quarterback not throwing an interception for three seasons.
-
Almost Quotes
I think that we definitely try to get those strong teams on the schedule. It's a hard concept. I think sometimes your strength of schedule can help you or hurt you. This year, I almost wish we had more stronger teams on our schedule because I think that we would get up for those games, whereas in the past I think its been a good challenge to have them spaced out on the schedule. So I hope the team is up for it and ready to compete on Sunday.
-
Acceptable Quotes
I think that just like with many other things in our society, certain things are much more acceptable now than they were five, 10 years ago or longer. I know a lot of pregnant teens who have had no problems staying in the regular school environment, trying to maintain their regular schedule as long as they could.

Add Quotes
I will be setting up a rough training schedule for myself that will include long bike rides, some hill training, and other exercise including my simultaneous Boston Marathon training . . . I will be embarking on an 80-plus mile ride to Connecticut later on this semester. I will add in a ride or two to Massachusetts or southern Rhode Island. I will also be biking in various kinds of weather to get used to all kinds of situations.
-
Focused Quotes
I think the sectional has really been great preparation for us. We had three really different scenarios, and we had to come through the tough half of the bracket. I think our kids really focused on what they had to do. I think our schedule really prepared us for what we were going to see.
-
Benefit Quotes
I think the schedule has toughened us and I've seen team go both ways on that. You can take hits and after a while your confidence erodes and you're not as good, but if you have the resolve to back it up you will really benefit from the level of competition you're seeing, and I think that's what we've done.
-
Against Quotes
Jeannette's awful good, Greensburg Central is no slouch and neither is Greensburg Salem, so I think that's our only five losses to smaller schools and I think you have to look at the tradeoff and that our kids are battle-tested against stronger teams. I think sometimes, if you don't play a strong schedule you don't get a sense of who really are and we're ready to play.
-
Conference Quotes
Our schedule is very challenging. The early portion of the schedule will help us to identify our strengths and weaknesses and better prepare for the most important part of our season the conference schedule. Obviously, we want to become as successful as possible. We also want to improve and develop as much as possible as we go along.
-
Above Quotes
Our schedule is tougher than last year because of the addition of a match against Carmel on April 11, but I would expect the team's dual record to remain above .500 this season. While Cathedral remains a solid favorite to repeat as team champion in the City Tournament, we are optimistic about our chances to finish in one of the top two spots. We should compete for a couple of the individual City championships as well.
-
Ben Quotes
Our schedule is getting tougher now. But our seniors, Ben Lane and Ben Anderson, are starting to take that leadership role and that's a good sign. But since we're the defending state champions we're going to get everyone's best shot, so we have to stay physically and mentally prepared. A lot can happen over the next few weeks.
-
Believe Quotes
Our schedule is competitive and our games will be fast paced and exciting, ... We play each of our division rivals twice at home which will give the fans some familiarity with our rivals and lead to a great first season. Plus, all of our games besides Sunday games will start at 7pm - which I believe is the perfect start time for families to come out and enjoy the entire ABA entertainment experience.
-
Against Quotes
Our schedule has been balanced. There are generally times when you have to play those guaranteed games. You wonder what it does to the mindset of your players, but we've played on the road at Providence and Miami and up in New York against Syracuse and Wake Forest. I think we've been tested.
-
Conference Quotes
Our schedule allows us to play our traditional local rivals, as well as some national powers, before we get into the conference schedule, ... We travel to Duke and Virginia Tech, play a full slate at the Garden and play in the Holiday Festival. This will give St. John's fans a great opportunity to follow our team, which features a lot of new faces this year.
-
Adding Quotes
Our success both on and off the pitch, particularly last season, has put us in an excellent position to grow our business. Adding both Sunderland of England and the L.A. Galaxy of MLS to our schedule speaks volumes about the growth of the Portland Timbers. It's shaping up to be a most exciting season.
-
Backup Quotes
Our whole goal is to play better heading into our second game in district schedule and we didn't do that, but it gave some of the backup guys some time to play and we were in some close ball games. You can only practice and simulate that a few times. There's no substitute for that. Hopefully this can be something we can learn from as we start district.
-
Alabama Quotes
Playing quality schools like Alabama and South Florida are always good to have on a schedule playing-wise. Conference games are definitely the most important. Stephen F. Austin and Texas State are some of the standout games, and we want to play them hard to garner the respect of the other top tier teams in the conference.
-
Downs Quotes
Playing in the Big Ten is a lot of fun. The games are just so fierce and so competitive that you hang onto every at-bat as a fan, as a player, and as a coach. We're looking forward to it. We feel our team has grown through ups and downs in a very challenging February and March schedule and that's going to position us to do some exciting things in the Big Ten.
-
Against Quotes
Our non-conference games are going to be really important for us this season. Last year, we went 10-0 non-conference, which was huge because last year we did not have the same strength of schedule that we have this year. Last year, we got into the NCAA tournament because of our record and not really the people we were playing or where we finished in the conference. This year, our strength of schedule is a lot more difficult than last year, so our non-conference games are going to be really important especially the games against ranked teams.
-
Best Quotes
People have been saying we have the best schedule for the wild-card race, but I don't know that's true, ... These guys are tough, and we still have to play the game. Anything can happen, and obviously tonight Roger didn't have his best stuff, and they capitalized on it and we weren't able to stay in the game.
-
Ahead Quotes
That expense is going to reduce the amount of reserves that we would otherwise have accumulated, but because we are ahead of schedule in the accumulation of reserves in this current fiscal year, I believe we are on a schedule I am comfortable with to put the reserves back where they need to be,
-
Almost Quotes
Many families are frustrated and overwhelmed by working hard only to see their debt grow instead of their savings. This is a large group of people who are one late payment away from receiving punitive default rates of almost 30% on credit cards and other loans. If you are at the edge, default rates will be devastating. If your credit card bill comes at the end of the month when there is no money left, contact your credit card company to change your billing schedule to fit with your pay schedule.
-
Beat Quotes
Logistically, it keeps us in the chase to make states and win the Patriot Division. Emotionally and for our confidence, this proves we can play with everyone and beat anyone. There's no one left on our schedule that's better than Trenton. Even three or four years from now, we can bring this game up and hold it up as something you can do if you execute properly.
-
Against Quotes
I think coach said it perfectly. Our backs are against the wall and now every game will determine whether we play in March. It doesn't get any easier from here, that's for sure. No doubt we can get better. We don't have any choice. The schedule gets tougher. You can't lose at home and expect to win the conference, so we've got to hold our own on the road and make sure we win at home.
