Jim Myers Quotations

The other team played better than us today. That's basically what it came down to.

We're a young team, and we're working hard. A lot of these guys have never played or came up from modified. We didn't have a modified team last year so they haven't played in a year. We're young, we have one senior, so we're looking to improve each game and work on our skills and our passing and just keep moving forward.

We are thankful for the efforts. But the question is, 'Why didn't it happen earlier?' Especially with (Hurricane) Katrina.

Let's face it, we did a great job getting back here. But we lost six seniors and now we're counting on two or three freshmen and a couple of sophomores to step up. And they did a great job for us this year.

She pitched excellent today. She had good control on the outside corner and changed speeds a little bit. She was pretty much throwing the ball by them. We're going to win some games if she pitches that well.

If we could figure out if that's happening here, we'd be way ahead of the game.

For some reason, our area has been a stepchild for a long time.

I'd vote for her in a heartbeat. I didn't think that before seeing what she's about.

I thought coming into this we were evenly matched. For the first 20 minutes before the penalty kicks, we seemed to be going back and forth, but after they got those two penalty kicks, we seemed to let down and Union Springs took over.

I think it's terrific. A lot of people in my neighborhood have been saying, 'Oh my goodness gracious, we wish we had a movie theater.' They don't want to have to drive up to Sarasota.

I think people are starting to know their roles. It's not just Inger (Hodgson) and Katie (Sutter), although those two can carry us if they have to.

We had a lot of kids who got a lot of minutes out there tonight. I think our depth is starting to develop a little bit. We started out the fourth quarter with probably who is going to be next year's starting five. And they did alright.

We have more of these groups of apartments concentrated in our area than any other area of Houston, and their problems are not new. Someone should have seen this coming.

We have to work on our shooting. We've had our chances but we don't capitalize on them. Other teams do and that's hurting us.

We're still working on getting digital microscopes and computers.

We had some pretty good shots but we didn't make them. You have to give (Belleville) credit, they played hard all night long.

Ellie Radke can do it all. She's a player you can build a program around.

The start was definitely the difference. Jumping out like we did. The kids played great on defense. I thought they moved their feet. They were tipping balls away. Then on the other side we were finishing.

The second quarter we did a better job on the trap and rotated the ball a lot better and got our hands on a few steals.

It's not a coincidence that we did it with her on the team. It was a lot of her doing, a lot of her drive and drawing everybody along with it.

Everyone knew him. He was just special. The school and sports fit his life perfectly. We did some things to help him, and he did a lot to help us.

It used to be that you count your fish when they go out, wait a few years and count them when they got back, and that's all you knew.

These suppliers and subcontractors are valued partners in helping us develop and build the world's most sophisticated, leading-edge space systems and the most powerful and efficient high-energy lasers. Our 2006 recipients have demonstrated the kind of ongoing commitment necessary to meet our standards and those set by our customers.

That's asking a lot. It certainly will make it tougher to get to state.
