Biography
Toney was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan where he attended Cass Technical High School. He was performing with the jazz-fusion group The Blackbyrds when he received his B.A. in Composition and Jazz Studies from Howard University. Seven albums were recorded with the group, three of which were certified gold. Many of their hit songs including "Rock Creek Park" and the Grammy nominated "Unfinished Business" were written by Toney.
"When Kyle plays with confidence he is a tremendous player."
"We didn't have any flow because Hamilton County played their tails off. They are well-disciplined on offense, and with their defense, we couldn't pass the ball to where we wanted because of double-teams, and the different angles (Hamilton County) showed."
"It's not as if we didn't know Welch could shoot. Every time we made a run, our defense would let down."
"We have to make better decisions. We need to know when to be quick and when to be patient."
"We had two of our starters down for most of the game. I thought they defended Matt (Weeks) well. It was a pretty physical, fast tempo type of game. Keith (Jones) in foul trouble hurt us, obviously. Michael (Warren) in foul trouble hurt us still."
"Landers is a heck of a player with a nice package of skills. And if you foul him he'll knock down about 85-percent of his free throws."
"We picked up some quick fouls in the third and put them in the bonus very early in the second half. But, I thought the kids there at the end of the game played very hard and put on a show. They played very well."
"It was only three at the half. They were ahead a little more than that at different time of the game in the second (period). I was glad that we cut it back to three — a manageable number."
"Matt is a very special player. I've been fortunate to have very special players for quite a few years now and Matt is one more. Matt doesn't need much coaching. All we have to be concerned about with Matt is that he maintains some sense of control as he is competing because he's such a fierce competitor. He'll do anything to win, he's just an awful nice kid to coach."
"The final point margin was not indicative of the game. It was a much closer game than that. All it takes is a couple of those threes to drop that's worth more than six points to them because then everybody from Benton also gets into a rhythm and we start to question a little bit and as we get out and extend on those shooters, they're likely to drive and draw a defender to foul and it makes for much more complex defensive decisions that you have to make."
I don't wanna bite of more than I can chew, I'm lettin' go of a little bit of you, at a time. I think I go the faith of a mustard seed, To move this mountain of memories, so high. I took another picture down, It's a little less of you just hanging around. I'm turnin' loose one memory at a time, An' I'll say: Goodbye to '91. That summer was so much fun. Our love was sweet and young back then. An' there goes September '92, The first time we said: "I love you." By now you should be easy to forget. But time's not flyin' by, I hope I don't lose my mind. Lettin' go of you, A year at a time. Every Monday, I start out, another week. Seven days tryin' not to speak your name. I got a self-help book from my best friend. I'll try anything if I think it'll end this pain. Every day that's creepin' by, Is a little more hurt I leave behind. I'm gettin' further down the road each day, So I'll say: C'est la vie to '93, What kind of spell did you put on me? I'll never love like that again. Don't: close the door on '94, I can't go back there no more. Only in my dreams every now an' then. But time's not flyin' by, I hope I don't lose my mind. Lettin' go of you, A year at a time. Spent '95 through '99, Just tryin' not to lose my mind. Lettin' go of you, A year, (2000.) I cried a million tears, (O1 an' '02.) Lettin' go of you,
