This is the most physical staff I've had in seven years.

This 16-team tournament gave us a chance. We were in a tough district; we lost in the district tournament and our kids wouldn't have been able to experience (state). But because of this, we have a second life. Hey, we're thrilled. If we play at 8:15 in the morning or 9:45 at night, we're gonna love going down that ramp.

This is our third large effort. We try to move into areas and find something that will help people.

I've never called for an emergency but I bought one for myself. It's not something that's physical condition related.

We have to find a go-to guy. Our guys play hard, but we need to find somebody we can count on in the clutch. We don't have any stars, so somebody has to step it up.

We received a sample lamp several years ago at a TRIAD meeting. We started looking into the price but it was prohibitive so we didn't pursue it. Late last year we decided to get the police department and Echo Hose Ambulance involved so we could get the program started.

That was the longest minute of my life. Adrian did a great job of coaching in the last stretch. We were just lucky to have the ball at the end.

I thought Isaac did a good job. He pulls the ball out when it needs to be pulled out, and he goes when we need to go. He's been doing that for three years now. Kid's great.

He just started putting it all together. For them, it's a puzzle sometimes and he had to get the pieces and put them in the right place, and he's very close to completing the puzzle.

He's a great kid. I'm really happy for him. He's been a senior leader all year for us.
