Bill Duffy Quotations

We tried so hard to make use of the advantage that we had with the wind, that maybe we pressed too hard. East Noble just kept trying to get the ball out and they stayed wide and distributed the ball well in the first half.

I am really proud of the job the girls did in the second half; we talked at halftime about

It can only be categorized as par for the course in the N.B.A.. It's been a wild year. Antonio is under contract so he really doesn't have a whole lot of latitude right now.

I think we have to watch hockey closely. We don't want to fall into that. The PR is so bad. If hockey gets real ugly from the PR aspect, I think basketball will get lumped in with it. Both sides have to be real careful.

Overall, it was a great team effort. We're very proud of them.

That first goal that Reimer put in the first half was absolutely nothing,

I think some are going to look at it more closely now.

I think if you asked any of the offensive players, they will tell you that they have time to go to work and to find a way to dissect the other team's defense because of the players that they (CC) have playing defense behind them.

That's the way we do business, ... This was our ninth shutout of the season. What you saw tonight was us at our best. A big maroon line in the back that South Side couldn't figure out. They (South Side) had no answer for that defense tonight.

We're really proud of our kids' efforts tonight. Kids came off the bench and helped us - we had a really good night.

We are in contact with our management team there, but we are still trying to track down our employees, ... We have heard from about half of them.

We'll get legal counsel to deal with (the lawsuit). That's par for the course.

This was good effort tonight, but South Side is not Homestead, ... We're going to need this and more. This is something we've hoped for to be in this position. It's going to take our best on Thursday night. But I'll tell you what, I wouldn't bet against these Lady Eagles.

What is more interesting is the agents over the years who have stolen money from players. I don't have a history like that. I think I'm up about $900 million in trying to get contracts for these guys.

The same was true with Angie Roy's goal. Coming down the wing she was not to be denied, ... If there had been a wall in front, she would have gone through it or around it. That's what we are going to need when we go against Homestead on Thursday night.

Awareness at work has transferred to awareness at home.

You should itemize a whole litany of requests, which become bargaining chips. You may have things that you're willing to throw away, but your opponent doesn't know that.

This is probably the best Norwell team that we have played against, ... They are aggressive and they attack the ball.

It was a very good night for us. Kendra Reimer's hat trick was wonderful and Emily Saillant broke out of her scoring slump, and we're very excited for her.

It was a really good night for us. We had a really good second half and a lot positive things happened.

I told our girls, that I hope and pray that we get to see these people (Luers) again (in sectionals), and if I am Bishop Luers I surely don't want to see Columbia City again.

It opened up a can of worms. I think the league wants to prevent something like this from happening again.

It's more or less classic Lady Eagle strategy to wear them down. We tell the girls they can stay with us in the first half, but not for 80 minutes. And they (Norwell) didn't.

It's going to happen. There appears to be enough bilateral support now.

It's good to come to a sensible resolution of this matter, especially where good people are involved. You have two strong, wonderful families, and there's no reason why a heated moment should divide them.

It's really interesting. Everything's happening and it's unfolding just like it did at the Thurston shooting, but again at a smaller scale. One thing that isn't different is the shock, the anger, the hurting, the students that are scared and the staff that are scared. That's not different.

The North Side Relays is the best meet of the year possibly before you get to state for us. You look at this field and it's pretty scary, but I feel like our kids just did a great job.

The numbers he's put up this year, any way you slice them, are unbelievable.

It threw off his balance as far as running was concerned. It was especially hard to learn how to carry a baton with that thing across your hand, but he figured it out.

They (CCHS) had a choice in the second half, ... The choice was to continue at that level or to let down, get sloppy, let South Side in, and be happy to be ahead by one at the end of the game. But that's not what they did. They keep that intensity level up. It's one to be proud of tonight, that's the bottom line.

The kids gave a tremendous effort, and I'm very proud of the effort they gave. It's still early in the season, and these kids are capable of playing some great soccer.

In many ways it's a perfect fit. If healthy, Houston is already a playoff-caliber team. There'll be less immediate pressure on him. Plus, with the style they play, he should be able to step in and contribute right away.
