I thought our kids played as hard as they could play. We had the game won several times; Eureka had the game won several times. We left everything on the floor. We didn’t get the...

They still made some, but at least we knew where their shooters were. The first half, we didn’t know where they were.

It makes a great difference if you have parents who are supportive. It is a very expensive sport and it takes a lot of time, and if you don’t have the support at home I...

When it was time for a player to go, he went.

Christine is really striking the ball solidly. She’s a hard-working girl, pounding balls and working on her swing. Cheryl is very good around the greens and has very good imagination. She’s excellent at scrambling. Chelsea’s...

probably seven or eight teams that can shoot well enough to win.

I thought Jeff Higgins came in and gave us a real big lift because we were really dragging. He did a good job on both ends.

I always hated to throw a guy out of a game but sometimes it was necessary to keep order.

The big deal was, they did anything they wanted to in the second half offensively, and we didn’t have an answer for it.

I don’t talk about winning nine straight. All I talk to the kids about is trying to get over their bad shots, putting them behind quickly and keeping on an even keel emotionally. We’re not...

If you commit six turnovers you should have won the basketball game.

I went to PE classes and started getting kids out there, … They’d say, ‘I’ve never played golf before,’ and I’d say, ‘I don’t care.’

It takes the pressure off of your better players to know they don’t always have to be on top of their game for the team to do well.

But they played real good golf in critical situations yesterday and today. Our six-person score was pretty impressive both days.

We lost Marisa (Milligan), who set all the records at U High, but all the other eight kids were on the squad last year.

Golf is really important at U High, and kids work on their games,

We won because of our depth,

All eight kids are legitimate varsity candidates. On any other team in town, they would be vying for a high playing spot.

We have seven kids (including junior Erica Woodall) who are really close in average, and I think that gives us something a lot of teams don’t have. This is the first time I’ve felt we...

Our ball movement wasn’t good, and that’s a credit to Quincy Notre Dame. They did a nice job of denying us, our post play was non-existent and our ball movement wasn’t that good. Our shooting...

The course was much tougher today because of the wind factor,

We didn’t have a single stop or rebound in the first quarter. We changed our defense, did a good job of staying in front of the ball and were able to stop their penetration in...

helping the girls program come along.

I’ve got a really good group this year,

Brittany is a lot stronger. Her swing is more consistent. She’s getting to a good place in her backswing. She struggles around the green some, but her chipping has improved.

All we’re really worried about is the kids competing on the course and not giving shots away because they’re so emotional or upset about something they’ve done wrong, … Obviously, they’re a really talented group.

Excellent. It’s a good group, … We won last weekend (at the Decatur Eisenhower Cleveland Invitational) and shot 311 and 320. Those are good scores. It was ideal conditions. But the kids played well. The...

As long as our kids can focus on playing their games and not worry about what everybody else is shooting at them and they take care of attacking the golf course, I think we’ll be...

The conditions at the sectional and state tournament are different. Sometimes pressure does weird things to kids, but they’ve handled it all year.

Each of the kids has a teacher they’ve worked with, and they’ve had them since they were younger. They have consistency in what they’re learning.

Boys, I’m one of those umpires that misses ’em every once in a while so if it’s close, you’d better hit it.

The call that always seemed the toughest to me was the slide and tag play at second. You can see it coming, but you don’t know which way the runner is going to slide, where...

Every kid out there has worked hard on their game this summer. They have improved a lot.

She’s a more mature player this year. She’s able to handle adversity better this year,

Lisa is coming around. She’s played varsity for four years and never had to compete for a spot before,

I think the depth of our team was a factor. We’ve got six kids that can count, at any time, and we have a lot of consistent players. I thought the conditions were tougher today,...

both improved a lot as players over the years.

All the rest of the girls are within two shots of each other, … We’ve got pretty good depth.

He’s always had good timing and a good knack for the ball. He’s not a very good jumper, but he’s got a nose for the ball. Tonight he did a real good job on the...

I think they are going to be strong again this year.

It’s always nice to get a win on Senior Night. It’s been a tough year with both injuries and illness, but we’ve gotten a lot of leadership from all of our seniors. Matt Anderson has...
