“Everyone was jumping on top of me. Unfortunately my leg got caught up in a weird position, and I started to scream. Joe Gramke, a teammate who also had played at Moeller, started pulling off the people. Then I got out. That field goal was the greatest thrill of my life.”

“When we were practicing for Italy that was one of my main things I talked to Coach Sue and Coach (Cori) Close about - how do I bring that leadership in that two spot? I think it's still coming up and being encouraging and still being positive and energetic.”

“The hurricane seasons in 2004 and 2005 were devastating. They brought terrible destruction to coastal areas of the United States. If you took what those storms brought, and combine that with similar expected in coming years, it puts us in a position where we must explore options to better manage our exposure.”

“I believe that all the stakeholders have to pull their resources together to get the team out of its precarious position. The players also need to focus in the remaining games and start picking points. What I can tell you is that we've a coach who is brilliant and is in the same class with the best in the country.”

“It's disappointing that as hard as these guys played the outcome didn't go in their favor. They played their hearts out. They banded together, guys changed positions and were willing to do whatever it took to get it done. In three years of coaching I've never been more proud of a team than I was this weekend.”

The pupil of a goat's eye is elongate like a cat's, but if you look closely you'll see that it's in the horizontal position, and if you look closer still you'll see that it's less gracefully shaped, more of a ragged slot, dirty yellow. And you'll see that the white of a goat's eye is all black.

“We give up a couple of weight classes so we struggle in dual meets. But as individuals, our guys are starting to peak toward the end of the season. I like the position we're right now as far as what we have to get done between now and regional postseason time.”

“We're in a position we haven't been in a lot since we've been at Searcy. This time of year, we're usually trying to finish the conference strong and find out where we'll be sitting for the playoffs. This year it didn't happen like that, but these guys will continue to battle. This team has guys with high character.”
