Joe Rodriguez Quotations

The people who don't train get tired, and they start wailing, and that is where the fun starts.

We were dealing with the issue of, this thing is not really progressing the way we want.

My job is to protect student's rights. As was dictated to me by the University Interscholastic League (UIL), the UIL states that when school boards rezone, the students are given the opportunity to go to their newly zoned school or stay at their old school.

I don't want the guys with excuses. I want the guys with guts and heart. The guys who'll go in the ring.

If it weren't for the students, I would have been closed years ago. I wish more would come here. A lot of them go to the larger gyms. They're never going to get in better shape then they would here.

We were really looking for two weapons, but we never thought we'd find 800.

We're thinking it's from the World War II era.

The time for the thugs and the street fighters is over in the ring.

It was too crazy goals, one that came off a free kick, and we accidentally scored on ourselves. They never really broke our defense. Both goals were kind of a fluke. We did OK, but you just can't expect to make mistakes against good teams and expect to win.

The boys did a good job of bouncing back from a tough loss to Lufkin the other night.

It's a good start for the team. We knew this was going to be a very competitive tournament and that's why we came. We gave some good challenges to good teams and just fell short.

It's hard to judge a match before it happens. It could be two kids I've never seen before, and they're going to put on a tremendous fight. Or one might be better.

It was a good experience and a new experience. It allowed the kids to grow and bond as a team. It was a great team builder to just get away. We are thankful for the support of the principal and athletic director. It's their support that let us get to where we are.

It's very easy access for a pedophile. To go on there, click on a picture that they're interested in and start a communication with them. That's the bad part.

I'd say that out of the three years that I've been head coach at Conroe, this is the best group of bench players we've had. We have a strong bench and that's the one positive thing that we have this year that we've been lacking in the past.
