This will help us mentally. To play this bad defensively and win helps.

I noticed the ball a lot more in play during the preseason tournament.

It will help us reduce our operating cost for the arsenal; it expands our employment base here and reinforces our role as the only government-owned chemical and biological defense arsenal.

(Hard play) will help us in the playoffs. But we can't wait until the fourth quarter. We have to play for four quarters.

There are large groups of residents that think differently and are there to help us out. And we are proud to live and work in this town. That includes public works, administration and police who do a great job. It's time for you to come, step up, be heard and try to help our town.

I'd like to stay and play and get some kind of finality to it. But that's athletics. It teaches us adversity and we have to deal with it now.
