came fought fourth lull played pushed quarter third
We had a lull there in the third quarter where they pushed it out but we came back and fought back and played pretty well the fourth quarter.
lead played
We just played very well as a team. Once we got the lead we never let it go.
deep deserved extended hard lead matter played run short took win
We went on a short run there and extended the lead and then just kind of took a deep breath. We have to come out and play hard every game, no matter who we're playing. Goreville played well and deserved to win the game.
bangs excellent kid minute
She's a high-strung, high-intensity individual. She's an excellent student, too. She's intense, she's very competitive, and as hard-nosed as any kid out here. She bangs and bruises, will play hurt, and will give you everything she's got every minute she's there.
carried game half solid team together
Stephanie had a real solid game and carried us for a while. We did real well as a team in the first half, we just couldn't put another half together to go with it.
bit caught deal half hard kids played quite
I thought the kids played hard the first quarter. I think they caught Althoff a little off-guard. They actually had to play a little bit in the first half and didn't quite know how to deal with it.
ahead healed jeff pleased season shape
I was very pleased with the efforts. It was an outstanding start. We've got to get in shape and get Jeff healed up. There's a long season ahead of us.
ballgame closer easy good guts kept kids played team took
Our kids kept us in the ballgame and we probably could've been closer if we had made some easy baskets in close. I told the kids they played hard, they played their guts out, and took a good team and made them play hard.
amount bring career concert covering friends-or-friendship good hot john mine people performed song stage time
John and I are good friends and we've performed from the same stage before. I don't know how his part of the concert is set up, but I'll take mine from 'Love in the Hot Afternoon,' the song that got me started, and bring the people right up to date. I'll be skipping through the career and covering as much as we can in the allotted amount of time we have.
freshmen help ran
Our two freshmen ran exceptionally well. Down the road, they could help us out on the varsity team.
building excited foundation impressed
We're excited about the foundation we're building with these kids. I'm impressed with what I'm seeing.
best early race run shape year
It was an outstanding race for so early in the year. Stephen is not in his best shape at all yet and to run 49.8 this early in the year is great.
singing has-beens
I have been singing all my life, so it is pretty much second nature to me.
nice past together
Connie Smith and I have worked a lot of shows together in the past, and it will be nice to do that again
