especially with the high cost of energy already an enormous burden for our farmers and ranchers.

We just didn't come out with any energy whatsoever. It wasn't one or two guys, it was most of the team. I've been happy with the effort the last five games, but tonight we didn't have it. We're not that good a team that we can just show up and win. We went through the motions tonight.

I was hoping we'd have enough energy to sustain. But in a rivalry like this, sometimes guys dig a little deeper than they normally do. They had more energy than I thought they would. This is a great win for the Cadets.

It's a concept that requires a bit of an investment of mental energy to understand what it is going to deliver back to you.

It was a good weekend, ... On Saturday the girls had more energy and really came together as a team. They kept working hard and that was the key.

They were a step ahead of us because of their effort and their energy and their absolute desperation to make the playoffs. When you get a team with that frame of mind, they are going to be a step ahead of you.
