best game good job kids matter people preparing pride scenario themselves thinking week whoever
We're going into this game thinking worst-case scenario that Christen doesn't play. We go into the week like every week preparing our kids the best we can for whoever is on the field. I'd like to think that we're not a one-man team. There are a lot of people out there who do think that Hilliard Davidson will go as Christen Haywood goes, but our kids have a lot of pride and they'll do a good job in preparing themselves no matter who's playing.
hurricane last months normal production serious six took weeks
Even if there's no damage, it's going to take at least two weeks for refineries to come back. It's at least as serious as Hurricane Ivan, which we had last year. And it took six months to get production back to normal in that case.
heard nonstop tournament vegas week
Las Vegas is the place all of us wanted to go. For the first week of the tournament there's nonstop basketball, and we heard that's the place to go.
across check church city commitment complete couple finding hope next people perhaps tired week
I think what we're finding across the church is that people are tired of just writing the check for the mission. They really want to do it. We made a commitment to the city to put up 50 roofs over the next couple of months. We hope to perhaps complete 25 this week with the crews that we have.
against central dropped everybody expect friday hopefully kids last nights notch opener playing poorly practice quarter realize second shown since step talented terrible week
If, in fact, Christen is not playing this week, then everybody is going to have to step it up a notch and I know they'll do that. Last week we had a terrible week of practice and I think that was shown on (last Friday against Central Crossing, which hadn't scored since the second quarter of its opener and dropped to 0-4). Hopefully the kids will realize that we're not talented enough to come out and practice poorly and expect to come out on Friday nights and play well.

I'll tell you on Saturday afternoon if it was an advantage to play two weekends in a row before this match or not.

I'm excited that the team understands the importance of this game. Maybe this weekend was a wake up call for us.
almost bus carpet columbia cool country developing flying hope parts proverbial red rolls spend taking weekend
The cool thing is that these are young professionals who are developing their careers, who will be driving, flying and taking a bus to Columbia from all parts of the country to spend a weekend here. So I hope Columbia, like we do with almost everything, rolls out the proverbial red carpet and welcomes these young professionals.
complete estimated job originally peak stayed weeks within
We originally estimated it would take 37 weeks to complete the project. PEAK did the job in 19 weeks and stayed within the project's budget.
defense great means second week
D-Y has great skill-position people, which means our defense is going to have to come up big for the second week in a row.
writing wings bird
The mind travels faster than the pen; consequently, writing becomes a question of learning to make occasional wing shots, bringing down the bird of thought as it flashes by. A writer is a gunner, sometimes waiting in the blind for something to come in, sometimes roaming the countryside hoping to scare something up.
writing murder obscenity
Shocking writing is like murder: the questions the jury must decide are the questions of motive and intent.
media roles news
The most puzzling thing about TV is the steady advance of the sponsor across the line that has always separated news from promotion, entertainment from merchandising. The advertiser has assumed the role of originator, and the performer has gradually been eased into the role of peddler.
