Steve Rice Quotations

She (Martin) is ahead of schedule. She already surpassed where she ended last season.

She (Martin) has been very focused. She knows what she wants and works hard to get that. She still knows she can attack the hurdles harder.

I was impressed with both of them (Barrett and Hermanson).

He (Mack) has some excellent leaping ability, and had a couple awesome jumps where he was way over the bar. He is good solid all-around athlete. He likes competition and is not afraid of it.

It has been a long time since a shot putter has thrown that kind of distance for Lead-Deadwood.

We're trying to tell our kids the Ds are not going to be a picnic.

There is room for improvement for everybody and we have some kids that want to go after it. I am excited and I think it is going to be a fun season.

Offensively, I like the looks of our line even though we're young. We have pretty good size from tackle to tackle.

A lot of guys come in here who think they're tough already.

It will be a good year for her. She is a lot healthier and she is taking care of herself a lot better.

It was just one of those days for him. He will get there.

Anyone we help is someone who wasn't helped the day before, and that's what this is really about. There's a lot going on and multiple opportunities for people of any age to participate in, and the dash is one of those.

I hope those guys can hang in there this year and produce another state championship.

He threw mostly fastballs and mixed in a little curve. We just didn't hit the ball very well. He throws pretty hard, hit some good spots and got us to chase pitches a little bit.

How his vehicle came to be where it was will be explained.

For our first meet - and throwing in the fact that we haven't been outside a great deal or had a lot of quality workouts - I thought things went very good. Some kids stepped up and did some very nice things for us.
