“Basically, we started the year without our top player from last year, and then we lost two of our top three scorers already this year. If we've had any kind of luck, it's been bad luck.”
Jerry Eaves
“Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.”
Dr. Seuss
“No player on our team started last year at the positions they played then. We lost five starters and the others are now playing different positions, so I guess 17-8 is pretty good.”
Mike Powell
“Basically, four of our top eight players were out for a large percentage of the year. We lost all of those guys, but to the credit of the rest of our guys, as the season wore on, they started to fit into their roles that had changed and they've come on pretty strong here down the stretch.”
Lance Maha
“I didn't expect this. Especially at the start of the year. We lost five of seven [players from last year's team] and I wasn't sure how far this team could go.”
Dan Bazzani
“We're flattered to be picked as high as fifth, but we lost our top three players from last year and I'm not sure that all of the coaches are aware of that. I believe that our competitiveness will allow us to finish near the top half of the conference but every match for us will be a grind. Whether we're playing the team picked first or picked ninth - we'll have to show up and fight our hearts out in order to have a chance to win.”
Michael Hunt
“Well, I have lost you; and I lost you fairly;In my own way, and with my full consent.Say what you will, kings in a tumbrel rarelyWent to their deaths more proud than this one went.Some nights of apprehension and hot weepingI will confess; but that's permitted me;Day dried my eyes; I was not one for keepingRubbed in a cage a wing that would be free.If I had loved you less or played you slylyI might have held you for a summer more,But at the cost of words I value highly,And no such summer as the one before.Should I outlive this anguish-and men do-I shall have only good to say of you.”
Edna St. Vincent Millay
