investors looking meeting might months second three
You have to show your persistence. Investors are looking for that persistence. You have the second meeting and keep talking, and three months later, they might write a check.
bad board budget committee easy hearing sure task time
This is the first time the board is hearing this information. When there are budget constraints, it's never an easy thing to consider. But a committee or task force, I'm not sure that's a bad idea.
compliment continue forget greatest group guys knocked looks people record tend
This group of guys has been knocked on their backsides and they continue to get back up. I think that's the greatest compliment I can give them. Everyone looks at their record this year, and that's something they've earned, but sometimes people tend to forget what we went through to get to this point.
came effort faced great journey prior reality state teams three
This has been a journey. But the reality of it is, in a state tournament, we faced three teams prior to this and the journey came to an end for them, and unfortunately for us, the journey came to an end (in this game). But it didn't come to an end without a lot of great effort and a lot of tears.

The wind resource is there, it's the transmission constraint.

Our defense played pretty well. The kids did a good job of getting their hands in the passing lanes.

Matt's basket at the end of the first half was a big lift for us. He's a guy who just worked his tail off to get in position (for the offensive rebound) and then finished the shot.
glass good job monster situation step throughout
Monster three. But, he also did a good job on the glass throughout the game. Once again, it's a situation where everyone has to step up and do what they do.
check writes
No one writes a check at this event,
against dominate second spells team
We didn't get a lot of second opportunities. A lot of times it was one and done. Against a team like West, that spells trouble. That being said, they did dominate the glass, yet we still had opportunities.
basketball fox neat night
I think it'll be a neat night of basketball for the Fox Valley.
certainly city deficit good instead main message news projected small
I think the main message is, it's certainly good news that instead of a $70-million-plus projected deficit (in 2005), the city now has a small surplus. We're not done yet. We have to keep going.
