against conviction courage decided efforts great played reward shot team wasps weekend
I thought our team played with great courage and conviction against Wasps so we've decided to reward their efforts and give them another shot this weekend against Saracens,
advantage huge lose player position quality team
I think any way you look at that, for them to lose a player of that quality in their team from that position in their team should have been a huge advantage for us.
against best bets defense defensive definitely good halves points quarters
That was one of the best first quarters we've had, one of the best first halves we've had, and definitely one of the bets defensive (efforts) we've had. The defense was really good for us tonight; obviously, they only got 31 points against us.
left scent tough
That's a tough one because there just isn't much scent left out there in flowers.
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.

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

I think they might have some more to come yet. You never know, do you?

My teammates were great today. I'm especially proud of C.J. Knowland. I think he scored a big upset out there. I've spent a lot of time with him in the wrestling room, and to see him do this well in a big meet is great.

Like the rest of my companions, I expected to die in the conflict.

Our guys know the court's the same size we have here.

I think it's great that enough interest is there with the city of Ames and the community to improve things,
ball felt good strikes throw
I felt good out there. My change-up was working well, and I was able to throw strikes and put the ball in play.
great second seven start tournament until wins
Getting the seven wins was a great start to the day. We were in second place after the first session, but unfortunately the tournament doesn't end until (today).
perspective
From our perspective it would be a positive.
