S. Walker Came Quotations

I was already behind when I came to camp so I had to catch up,

Give those kids credit. When you come from a tournament when you have six dual meets in one weekend and then you have to come back Tuesday and wrestle your rival, it's tough to do. Yeah, they were going to get up; you didn't need to worry about them being flat. But they had a long weekend. Those kids had to come back and make weight. Give them a lot of credit for what they did and what they accomplished. We came out and did what we had to do. We just came up a little bit short.

We met a lot of people in Detroit and we all got along really well and we were all like-minded. I played bass with the (Detroit) Cobras for awhile and I recorded on the first White Stripes record and sat in with lots of other people. We all kind of came up together. It's an honest association. It's a small collective group of people who played music and were into the same thing before all the hype. We all have the same roots.

I think the bottom line is everybody came back and put their hard hats on and said we want to get better.

Last year I missed a free throw in a game against East. Just one, but we were down by two. So every single game now, I practice my free throws. I shot about 100 free throws this morning so just in case a situation like that came up in this game, I could knock them down.

Most anybody that came in contact with her has come to love her ways. They always give compliments to Miss Beasley.

We wanted to make sure we didn't have another loss here. We wanted to finish undefeated in conference. We didn't want to have any upsets like we did last year. We came out focused.

We came here with the attitude to leave it all on the court. And that is what we did.

We concluded we had higher priorities to invest in and health care came in at the bottom of the list,

Things are going our way and all of sudden, they came storming back,

The team really came out focused and it was nice to score in the first inning. We kept going and never looked back.

We all listen to the same music; we all came from the same place, standing on the shoulders of the same giants. I'd be willing to bet that The Rolling Stones are more envious of our lifestyle, living here in Kentucky, playing loads of different Americana music. That's what they were going for. We're closer to the source than they are, really. I think they would love to come down and stay in Covington with us and stay up until 5 in the morning, playing guitar and singing Townes Van Zandt songs and Leadbelly songs. It'd be right up their alley. It's no mistake that we have the same kind of thing going on.

That's when I came to realize how many people knew me, and I didn't know them from Adam.

I personally didn't overlook them, because we overlooked a game last year and we ended up losing. I don't think the rest of the team did because they understand that this is our last game to get to Peoria. I thought we came out and played hard.

Not to run excuses out, but I had it off the bat, lost it in the lights, it came out of the lights, and it was too late. Simple as that.

I didn't know if it was an earthquake, I didn't know if it was a bomb. I came downstairs, and there's a car in the house and a kid in the house.

I don't know if someone caught wind of it or not. But I mentioned it to a couple people. Tony called, we talked for a little while. The subject came up and he said, 'If you want to come out, come out.

It was just before we got (Sullivan) and we were struggling, so I came back early (from a groin strain) and it wound up bothering me for about 10 more games. There was a lot more pressure then, but there isn't as much now. I still want to get back as quick as I can, but the guys are doing really well.

It just popped out of place. I came inside so they (medical personnel) could pop it back in. Other than that, it's fine. I've never had the experience of it, and they didn't want to take the glove off because they didn't know if it was broken or not. It's just a little swelling, but I'm glad it's a dislocation instead of a broken finger.
