everybody finally game hard key kids played plays reality realize sink state talks tournament until within
Now it's big for (the team) to realize - you know when you first get started all everybody talks about is the state tournament - well now you're within one game and finally reality can sink in. If we play hard we could do this. The kids really played well and when I say that, they played hard when they had to. We made some key plays, we made some key buckets. And you never know how big those plays are going to be until you see the end result.

We're very concerned. I don't think we're the problem. We want (the ramp and its availability for bass fishing) to be here for our kids and their kids. I'm heartbroken that they're going to close that ramp .... It's a very nice lake, and it's a shame what's happening.

Tulsa was the kind of place where you could go to any door and borrow a cup of sugar. Everybody knew everybody. Truthfully, I don't even remember dealing with any racism in our town; we all got along.
