I was proud of our team's effort. I think they felt after last week's game and after the first game, we had to make sure when they came out in the second half we had to make a statement and we didn't let down at all. I was very pleased with both sides of the ball. Our offensive and defensive lines, I thought, dominated the game. I couldn't be prouder of our effort.

We have our first area game on Thursday. And we are looking forward to getting that underway.

Will that happen? I don't know. Ten years ago nobody would have said NBA All-Star game would be on cable. We hope to have events like those on TNT or TBS for sure.

Those guys are upset that they lost Game 1, but they're not too concerned. I was in that situation, and it's never over until that team wins that fourth game. What we did in Game 1 doesn't mean anything unless we come out and take care of business in Game 2.

Yeah, it's a place that I'm pretty confident from. But it feels a little more at home than the right side sometimes. At the end of the game there's some kind of focus that you get into that you really don't worry about what's going to happen afterward.

We're known as a physical team, and we went out and try to establish rhythm in the game and let them know that we were there.

We've been putting all three phases of the game together.

We weren't executing the way we planned, and it showed. We lost the game in the third quarter no matter what calls were made and what things happened before or after that.

At halftime, there was no sense of letdown and there was no sense we had the game under control,

It was certainly a lot better than last Saturday's performance and maybe the lads have recovered their self belief. I've made it clear however that there's no point in us raising our game against Rangers and Celtic if we can't produce results against the teams in the lower part of the league. I know its going to be a roller-coaster ride for the rest of the season - there will be plenty ups and downs but I'm enjoying every minute of it.

It looked to me like we had the balls delivered where they were supposed to be, we had the right patterns called, and we didn't execute or make the catch. When the game is on the line, we talk about who can you count on when the game counts, and we didn't come up with a play to win the game or at least a play to keep the drive going.

They were the better team (Sunday). If we played all game like we did in the third, I don't know if they're a better team than us, but hats off to them.

The game tomorrow will give the bulk of our fans a chance to see some of our new signings in action although a reasonable number travelled to Berwick.

I was sat at home watching it and thinking that I have missed the best game in Northern Ireland's history,

I think we have the best two teams in the state.

It has been just awesome playing with these guys. I can't really describe the bond we all have, but day-in and day-out all we wanted to do was win. It didn't matter who scored or was getting the publicity. We all just wanted what was best for the team. There was so much talent on one team that people doubted we could put it together. Well, we did, and nobody can ever take that away from us.

Pitching was our strength. We had two 12-year-olds (Kyle Hughes and Ryan McCarthy) who were just dominant. Pitching and defense is what carried us in the playoffs, and the kids played their best when it mattered most.

That was my goal -- to stay on top of him, ... make it tough for him and really not let him get off. I did my job the best I could.

That was just an amazing game. I think it's the best one I've ever been a part of.

You kind of have to do what's in the best interest of your district and your students, and I understand that. We're going to do what we've done in the past. We're pushing forward like normal.

We are a club that is on the up and we have no intention of selling our best players.

There are always best and worst case scenarios and we don't know at the moment just when he will be back.

These (soldiers) are trying . . . to do their best for their country. They know (the graft is) going on, and they're powerless to do anything about it.

It's the best girls I've ever played with in all my life. I love playing with them. We all know each other's game.

They insist we eat with them and the pork, chicken and beef dishes is the best I've ever had.

I'm real comfortable running the point. I like to move around. He'll definitely get space and open looks (when they are out on the floor together) because it puts pressure on the defense. He's one of the best shooters in the league.

I flew out to D.C. to see the guy who did my other surgery (on his thumb last year). It was in my best interest to have it done now. They said if there was a month or maybe two months left in the season, I'd be fine.

The likely scenario is that we'll wear down even more by the end of the day, and that's actually the best thing that could happen, ... A slight pop by the end of the day won't move us out of this range. You want it to get down enough that the sellers get flushed out and we set a tradable low, then maybe you can see a summer rally.

Watching her in Salt Lake was so great I watched her work so hard, and to see a dream come true was just great. Now that Im actually on the ice, and shes up in the stands, I know how she feels, and I guess she knows how I feel.

So many students have respect for him because of his hard work on the language and on Wales, but also people have respect for him due to his hard work promoting peace and his involvement in CND Cymru.

She is a classic case of how to be more a part of the team. She is popular with the girls and boys (on the team). She's a great kid to work with. She is very balanced, athletic, smart and social.

One of the main reasons our defense has played so consistently is our work on and improvement in our tackling. We haven't had the missed tackles that we've had in the past. That's something the defensive coaches emphasized in the spring and have continued to emphasize in practice now. By making sure we stress the fundamentals, and that's one of the things we do each week, that has paid off with how well our defense has tackled compared to previous teams.

Part of this day really is a celebration of all of the work the motorcyclists have done. They've worked all year long - they don't let anyone off the hook.

I was proud of the kids. We still got a lot of work to do because we are not taking care of the responsibilities that we're trying to get across to them. We're hoping to come out and get a good week of practice this week and try to get back on the right track.

We don't want an opt-out and what we do want is a proper balance between work and family life in Britain and every other member state of the EU,

We don't think there will be any environmental degradation, ... It's basically going into areas where you've already got stuff happening, where you've got existing NEPA work that had been completed. We think in many cases this is just duplicative work.

was a master of a number of theatrical dialects, but his work was always characterized by a profoundly humane spirit. Derek believed that the theater could really matter. In a brief but extraordinary career, he demonstrated just that.

Distanced from the work by crowds and railings, they may listen on their Acoustiguides to the plummy vowels of the Met's director, Philippe de Montebello, discoursing like an undertaker on the merits of the deceased.

Council received approximately sixty calls during the night and each team had to work in very trying conditions.

Stress is like any other illness or injury - it affects different people differently, ... I do know that stress that public safety personnel encounter in the course of their work is something that's very real and it's something that can have a detrimental effect on people.

It's a lot of single people who are new to town. People who work as programmers during the day and are looking for a wider social scope.

As a coach, you always strive for perfection. Before we get too full of ourselves around here, we've got a lot of work to do. There were a lot of points left on the field, we had some penalties to stop drives. The good thing is Derek Javarone has been fairly consistent. He's been 100 percent scoring points in the red zone. That's been the difference. As I told the team, be happy but not satisfied. We have a long way to go. The strength of our schedule is ahead of us. We certainly can't sit back and start feeling too good about ourselves.

I'm hoping that we can work things out for all parties. I'm an optimist with that. I certainly can understand their frustration. We've been in this for a long time, and I'm optimistic that we can work with our private schools to come up with a compromise that will work for all parties.
