Dave Powell Quotations

We played terrific defensively. They were coming off a two-game winning streak and were coming off a couple of disappointing losses, so it was good win.

We were getting a little nervous in February. It would have been grim if the storms didn't come back this year. But we've had a great winter.

We didn't really expect to go this long without one, to tell you the truth, the way the season started. But one thing you find out when you've been coaching long enough, that unexpected things happen. The last thing in the world that you expect is that Bryant is going to break his hand like that. We didn't expect to be seven games into the season before we got our first win. We're very grateful to have it.

We feel like the kids are playing well and getting better, but it has been two tough games away from home to start the season. We couldn't quite get over the hump.

Each game was a grueling game. Whatever you hit to them they seemed to be able to dig. They were pretty good, the kids were excited to beat Newton.

The salaries are confidential and we keep it confidential.

The story of the game was they were so balanced; they had five different kids score at least 10 points. We still have to work at creating more balance and take a little pressure off Chris.

There might even be some people who are interested in donating lots.

At least we went down fighting, you know? You've got to be proud of kids that fight that hard.

In concept, what we are looking to do is, once the land trust gets rolling, we'll go out and look for areas where we can get the money to buy additional lots.

By the time the house is built, we'll be able to take it and give (qualified homeowners) a 99-year lease.
