I know our kids are really excited. Having that many kids from the greater Portland area, I know they're going to be ready to play.

Lindsey is part of a group that has come in and changed the face of women's basketball here. She's a great young woman and a super teammate.

There isn't one thing right now that she is not doing well on the court. She's become a terrific on-the-ball defender, and is just excelling in all facets of the game. ... The other thing is when the game's on the line is when she is at her very best.

Dear Lord, thank You for this microwave bounty, even though we don't deserve it. I mean... our kids are uncontrollable hellions! Pardon my French... but they act like savages! Did You see them at the picnic? Oh, of course You did... You're everywhere, You're omnivorous. Oh Lord! Why did You spite me with this family?

That's kind of the position we've been in the last three years. But as the season goes on our kids get better and they understand a little bit more and get more confidence in themselves and good things will happen for us. But right now we're on a bubble. These next few games will tell a lot.

That team over there (Edmond North), they were awesome. Coach Philbrick has got his kids playing so well. But our guys are tired of people saying they're not any good, that they're not going to be able to do anything this year without all the guys we lost.
