Gene Watson Quotations

She's a high-strung, high-intensity individual. She's an excellent student, too. She's intense, she's very competitive, and as hard-nosed as any kid out here. She bangs and bruises, will play hurt, and will give you everything she's got every minute she's there.

John and I are good friends and we've performed from the same stage before. I don't know how his part of the concert is set up, but I'll take mine from 'Love in the Hot Afternoon,' the song that got me started, and bring the people right up to date. I'll be skipping through the career and covering as much as we can in the allotted amount of time we have.

I thought the kids played hard the first quarter. I think they caught Althoff a little off-guard. They actually had to play a little bit in the first half and didn't quite know how to deal with it.

Our kids kept us in the ballgame and we probably could've been closer if we had made some easy baskets in close. I told the kids they played hard, they played their guts out, and took a good team and made them play hard.

Our two freshmen ran exceptionally well. Down the road, they could help us out on the varsity team.

Stephanie had a real solid game and carried us for a while. We did real well as a team in the first half, we just couldn't put another half together to go with it.

I was very pleased with the efforts. It was an outstanding start. We've got to get in shape and get Jeff healed up. There's a long season ahead of us.

We had a lull there in the third quarter where they pushed it out but we came back and fought back and played pretty well the fourth quarter.

We're excited about the foundation we're building with these kids. I'm impressed with what I'm seeing.

We just played very well as a team. Once we got the lead we never let it go.

We went on a short run there and extended the lead and then just kind of took a deep breath. We have to come out and play hard every game, no matter who we're playing. Goreville played well and deserved to win the game.

It was an outstanding race for so early in the year. Stephen is not in his best shape at all yet and to run 49.8 this early in the year is great.

This is the first time this group has played together as a unit and they did very well. It's what you always hope for and something we hope we can build on the rest of the year.

This is the best we have run as a team under very difficult weather conditions. We're closing the gap on Carbondale. We've picked up points on them over the last couple of weeks. We'll give them a run for their money at the conference meet.

There's a comfort level that the other classes don't have. They don't feel inhibited to ask certain questions.

They both ran well. It was a good beginning. Justin won his heat and Kevin was right there.

I have been singing all my life, so it is pretty much second nature to me.

Connie Smith and I have worked a lot of shows together in the past, and it will be nice to do that again

I love truthful songs that tell a story and talk about people and their lives. If a song calls for a tear, then we will cry. If a song calls for a smile, then we will laugh. That is what I like to do.
