boat definitely expected finding goals internal last similar weekend
We expected to do well, and I think we executed what we wanted to do. Our goals were similar to last weekend -- definitely finding that internal boat character.
family happy home hope last life months nice smooth transition
It's nice that my family got to be part of it. I'm just happy to be home and hope that there will be a smooth transition for everybody. It's been a different life for the last 14 months than we're used to.
boat expectation focusing guys internal worrying
We were focusing on our own boat and not worrying about the other boat. Guys had an expectation to find an internal rhythm, a boat identity.

We ran about every press. We tried to disrupt them. They did a great job as a team in not turning the ball over.

I was impressed by his enthusiasm and creativity and the record he had.

We've struggled lately from the floor, but tonight they felt good.
ashamed
We're 8-3. That's nothing to be ashamed of.
ball controlled extremely improved shooting sure time
That sure didn't help. Indianola is a very improved team. They were shooting the ball extremely well. They controlled the game. Every time we'd make a spurt, they'd have an answer.
boats edge extremely keeps people seat trying water week
I think this week is going to be really competitive between our boats on the water and extremely focused. There will probably be some lineup switches, some seat racing, and trying out some new guys, which is good, because it keeps people on edge a little bit.
run
That 9-0 run to end it did not help.
contacts program
Lisette really has made the program a success. She has the enthusiasm, know-how and contacts to get things done.
boat definitely difference expect next shifting trying
I expect the same for next weekend; it definitely makes a difference to have your boat together. However, there is something to be said for shifting things around and trying new options.
business chance changes company irons people sorry
We've been told that the company is doing well, but it can always do better. The business would be better because of the changes they're making. I'm sorry I was of the people that were let go, but I already have other irons in the fire. This will give me the chance to try something I wasn't able to do before in a 9 to 5 job.
east talented
We know how talented East is, but we also know we can play like that.
