Lafayette Central Catholic was by far the quickest team we've played since we played Pike (a 62-40 loss) in December. We prepared for their traps, but their energy and excitement was there for 32 minutes.

Different populations can be declining for a number of reasons, including habitat loss, but populations in one place might be declining for entirely different reasons than populations in another place, ... Until we know where specific individuals spend the summer and winter, we cannot properly address the causes of the population declines.

It's a tough loss, but this game doesn't define our season. We've done a lot of good things, and we have plenty of basketball left to play.

I think the biggest loss is going to be the loss of dune, the loss of beach, the loss of protection. That's the scariest thing.

For need can blossom into all the compensation it requires. To crave and to have are as like as a thing and its shadow. For when does a berry break upon the tongue as sweetly as when one longs to taste it, and when is the taste refracted into so many hues and savors of ripeness and earth, and when do our senses know any thing so utterly as when we lack it? And here again is a foreshadowing-the world will be made whole. For to wish for a hand on one's hair is all but to feel it. So whatever we may lose, very craving gives it back to us again. Though we dream and hardly know it, longing, like an angel, fosters us, smooths our hair, and brings us wild strawberries.

I know she feels bad. But I'm not going to blame this loss on one play or one player. We had a lot of people, including Vicki, make good plays today.
