If my heart was at 100 percent before that game, then it was 98 percent afterward. That 2 percent, I'll never get back.

I know they have a great running back in Cameron Island. And they always have a lot of athletes at the skill positions. This is a great test for us early in the year.

Skyline is a big, physical team. But we had some big plays. For being a young, inexperienced group, we did a good job against a good team.

They created a police station in a box. There were too many out there. Insurgents overran them, and police died.

It's great. I can't believe you can pull that up that quick.

It's giving them choices. It's giving them competition. It's giving them something to do here. They are just looking for some change and BAA brings that to the table.

They have a great arsenal of talent. They have great coaches and a great facility at a great school. Why wouldn't you want to go there?

After all that's happened, the team is eager to get on the field and move forward. It's going to be interesting to see how we play and where we go from here.

After all we went through this summer, all we wanted was the'05 season to get started. I had tears in my eyes when I walked on to the field tonight thinking about all we went through. We could have lost by 700 points, but at least the'05 season had started.

Bolin hit some 3-pointers on us early. We told who we had matched up on her not to leave her alone. We were afraid she was going to go off and hit some more. Thank goodness she didn't.
