H. Hunt Year Quotations

Our team believed that all year long (we were the best in conference). Even with the two regular season conference losses we truly felt that it was our tournament to win.

We're all aware of it (the streak). But we're not really concerned about last year or anything that happened before that. We're focused on this season right now. The only thing we remember from last year is Buffalo Island (Central).

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.

We had a strong feeling about Jordan after meeting him last year at Road Atlanta. Obviously BMW feels he will be a top competitor and represent their brand well, as noted by their selection of him as a BMW Junior Driver for the 2006 season. As a team, it is our responsibility to help develop his skills to their fullest potential and put him in a position to excel both on and off the track.

Powerful restraining forces are impacting the consumer, and this will result in slower growth in the latter part of this year and into 2005,

This is our biggest game of the year right now. For the seniors, this is the biggest game of their career. A lot of the seniors haven't played in a game like this.

Andrea Courtney is a freshman and has been playing No. 1 all year. She's an All-Conference player, but playing No. 1 as a freshman is not easy. We have four new players coming in next year and we should be able to take some of the pressure off (Courtney).

They enabled him to do a lot of things that maybe he wanted to do that we couldn't do the year before.
