Quotes by Bob McIntyre
Governor Bush's plan looks remarkably like the tax plan that was passed by the Congress last summer and was vetoed by the president on the grounds that it was targeted to rich people, and cost way too much.
I like the fact that Bryan has played a lot of kids, because it bodes well for the future for them.
I know they've been tough to beat this year, but they have been beat and we've got to get our kids to believe they can beat the top teams.
The best part is being able to get out on the court and being able to play after a rivalry-type loss.
I told our kids it was obvious from the crowd and Gallup that they were in a game. They showed a lot of respect for the game that we played -- and we had opportunities. We had some really good looks ... We played well enough to win.
I told our kids (the win) wouldn't be as big as a district game, because district games get you to the state tournament, and it obviously wouldn't be as important as a playoff game, but from where we were, at this point of the season, it was as important a game as we've played in a number of years this early.
They started a faster tempo. A reporter told me we got outscored 20-0 at one point. They came all the way back and led by four points. To make a long story short, it became a ballgame at that point.
They trapped us, make us get the ball out of our hands. Our kids did a good job. (But) we missed about half our free throws and some easy shots.
