adrenaline basketball bit bounce days defense excitement feeling fine good high locker opening reminded room rough school settled start
I got off to a little bit of a rough start to say the least. There was a lot of excitement and adrenaline being my first opening day start. It reminded me of my high school basketball days when we used to bounce around in the locker room before a game. That was the feeling I had. It was fine once I settled down and let my defense work. It was back to the good old Henry.

I can't remember any team in high school playing the wishbone. In fact, I can't remember ever playing against it.

We also had schools that only played a game or two. Then there were entire schools that were lost. But we limped through it. Now we just have to go on from here, but it won't be easy.
affected along area best cancel decision felt games great membership played push require school teams
We're not going to require teams to play if they're in an area affected by the storm. That's a decision they should make, along with their school boards. If the membership felt it was best that no games be played this week, we wouldn't play football. There hasn't been a great push to cancel games.

This is probably the greatest amount of change since I've been in the organization. Not allowing a school to play up without a vote by the principals has caused a lot of this change. It's funny; at one time schools would fight to change districts.

blessed children given great habitat horrible impressed integrity life others school work
Homelessness is a horrible plight, especially for someone with a family. I have a great husband, great children who are healthy, doing well in school and are well adjusted. A lot has been given to me. I don't know why my life is so blessed and why others (that) work just as hard, for some reason, are not. I want to do what I can and I'm impressed with the integrity of Habitat for Humanity.

We talked about it a little bit, just jawing back and forth. He was telling me that he saw the game (against Jacksonville) Sunday on TV and he wasn't going to have any of that. It goes back to those old days.

We just happened to catch up with her. It seemed like once we got a hit it became contagious. All those runs were with two outs so we happened to bust out at the right time.

We miss Ashley really badly... we know what he can add to the team when he comes back.
among best both course earned field forget forward greatest including memorable ounce red reputation ring series wish
We wish Pedro nothing but the best going forward both on the field and off the field, ... He pitched with every ounce of his being for the Red Sox over the course of 216 games. Some of those performances were among the most memorable in Red Sox history. Who will ever forget the 1999 All-Star game? He has earned everything that he has accomplished, including his World Series ring and his reputation as one of the greatest who ever lived.
