    I'm really proud of our girls and what they accomplished this year. Shoshone played a great game. They shot so well today. If Shoshone plays at that level, they're a better team than we are right now. But fortunately we've got everybody coming back except for three seniors.

    I thought it was a very well played game on both parts. Fortunately tonight, we played well and obviously shot the ball a lot better than we did last night against Shoshone (in a 36-25 loss for the conference championship).

    We just don't have the ability to keep scoring in bunches. We can spurt early in the game, but it's hard for us to keep doing it. We are what we are.

    Still, we've seen a 50 percent increase in 20 years.

    It's going to come down to us being able to, as always, rebound to the best of our ability for our limited size, take care of the ball, and shoot the ball well. Our defense is always there. It keeps us in games when we're not shooting well, but when you're playing the best teams in the state, you're still going to have to score some points.

    A year ago, the industry came out aggressive with pricing to the farmers. I think the farmers responded by planting more acres.

    Furthermore, there is always the fear that one more building boom will be the straw that breaks the camel's back. We remind investors that the cruise sectors maintained for many years that new supply would create demand until it didn't in 2000-2003.
