attack bit blew boy came chris crowd early fortunate great heart learned learning maybe walk youth
Maybe some of our youth came out a little bit in that. But I think they learned their lessons. We were fortunate enough, like I said, to be able to walk out with one even after we blew that lead. It's all a learning experience; it's fun. I mean, a great crowd and the boy were into it -- I told Chris Newsome I thought he was going to give me an early heart attack and I'm too young to get one of those.

We felt this time we took a bit of a leaf out of Lance Armstrong's book. They looked at a bit of video of his mental preparation ... I think the boys got a little bit out of that sort of thinking.

We don't feel we are putting that roadway in any significant danger at all and don't feel that this has any significant impact on the city of Eastport in any way other than the visual impact of seeing the ships go by.

Our first match in the group could not be more difficult,

Our field-goal percentage wasn't good and our free throws weren't good; 14 of 23 (at the line) wasn't good.

Manning's a big, strong kid and Cole doesn't get to bang much down low. That should be one pairing to watch.
