They just want to play for Addison High. These guys are more team-oriented than any I've ever seen.
It's not only about getting stronger, but looking strong, trying to develop a body to make it look like you're strong. Even if you're not strong, you've got guys who bench 185. I bench more than them. They look real strong, but they're not doing a lot.
You want to win, but (losing) will help you if your guys can learn from it. Hopefully the little mistakes that happened tonight we won't make later in the year.
I've been in this defense for five years, so I feel like I know it pretty well. Other guys have done the same, so it's easier for us during practice, if we see a younger player do something wrong, we can pull them aside and tell them what to do. In our freshman year we were all new to the system, so there wasn't a lot of player coaching going on. Now, there is.
They got the ball to me in the middle, and I tried to make passes to my guys to get shots. We knocked down shots and got ourselves the lead. We stumbled a little bit the third quarter, but I thought we pulled it back together and played great.
It really is a very good barometer, we think, of how active employers are.
As a New York-based sports editor put it to me,
That's been one of the knocks on me, ... that people think I'm not strong. So that's one of the things I want to work on in my last year.
They started cracking jokes, and I said: 'Ain't nothing funny when I have to work the next day.'
This is his hometown. What better way of honoring him?
Energy costs have just gone sky high on us as everyone else. Anything the school system can do to try and conserve energy we are going to do.
If you are cold at night, let the promise of my love cover you like a warm blanket
He played a lot of footy and knows a lot about the game . . . the three of us have been taken aback by his enthusiasm and knowledge.
They expect us to have some bond to them, to be working with them on their community associations, to be active in their community and the kinds of areas and events that are of concern to them.
