I've seen growth every year on our side. We've done things this year that we didn't do last year. It's building ... we'll just keep doing the things we're doing. If we do that, the support will continue to improve, as it has in the past three or four years.
group last learned learning next pushed took year
Sometimes those learning situations, when you're going through them are difficult, but when you look back, are meaningful. Because the group that took part in it last year learned from it and pushed it through this year to the next step.

She's taken advantage of her opportunities. She played well last week at North Dakota for us. The big thing is she's adjusting well to the college game quickly and is building confidence each time out on the ice. I hope she continues to improve. She's a smart player.

I have been given the opportunity now. It is so fortunate. It is like a last chance. ... Hopefully you're playing the best golf at the right time. There are so many guys in the same shoes that have the same abilities. Sometimes it is all about getting the breaks at the right time. Mine came at Q-school.
came cap close double feather goal group last overtime year
It's a feather in the cap for this group of players. They battled from Day One and they had to go to double overtime for us to make that last step. We were very close last year and we came up a goal short.
came finger four heard last three together watching
Watching it all come together was pretty amazing, I thought. The first three to four minutes, you are kind of like, 'Dude, what are you doing?' and then in the last minute, it all came together. I've heard of finger painting, but only in the first grade. This was just amazing.

We're real excited about the opportunity this upcoming weekend. The game last night was very intense and certainly nerve-racking.

We did things a lot better than we did last week. We're better offensively than we have been in the past two weeks.
came capitalize close ends game games hard last meaning month next night played playoff puck score teams third tight trying weekend whatever
In the first game, the puck went in real quick. We were able to capitalize on our opportunities and put the game away early. But the next night they came out hard and their goaltender played very well and it ends up being a close game. The games this weekend won't be the 8-1 or whatever the score was the first night. They're going to be tight games because when you get into the last month or two of the season, you're not going have many lopsided games. Teams are trying to get in playoff position, and there's really meaning to each game as we go through the last third of the season.

When it got colder, we decided to wait, because they can't be sealed if the pavement is too cold. We'll have them sealed when it gets warmer.

We are urging local residents to avoid U.S. 69 whenever possible, ... It's a bottleneck right now and will be until probably the weekend.

These were people much like you and I. What is it in humanity that allowed it to happen?
challenged game linger period second team wrap
The second period was real big for us, because it kind of put the game out of reach. I challenged the team to come out and play like we wanted to win. It was kind of an 'eye of the tiger'-type thing where we ... let the other team know that we wanted to wrap it up and not let this thing linger on.
face girl
The wonderment in her face is the wonderment of the little girl herself.
