Quotes by Eric Thompson
It's not a tax. It's a utility. It is a fee proportional to their usage. If the utility is doing the job right, (taxpayers) should pay less.
(The two-run first inning) made us feel great. I'm sure it helped Lauren keep her confidence on the mound. I'm real proud for our girls, and we displayed a great team effort tonight.
It was nice to be able to get an ugly win out there. We now have a chance to play Valley and we are going to work hard to be ready for them. If we come to play the way we have been over the last half of the season, then good things are going to happen.
Everyone came around when we needed them tonight. Everyone made at least one big shot and we never let up the entire way. They went on a few runs, but we always came back. Tonight, we just weren't going to crack.
It's really frustrating. It almost seems personal because I had money and things in the car that weren't taken. It was like someone just cut out the emblem as a trophy.
They?re just a better team than we are. They all can do so much ... It makes it tough to defend them. That?s why they win so many games like they do.
We've got nothing to lose. I don't think most people thought we would get past tonight, and here we are. We're just going to keep playing hard as a team and hopefully it will work out.
