A big positive for us is we have over 70 kids out. That's double from last year.

A bunch of us just saw a need. It's really all about teaching kids to develop positive relationships.

I told the kids not to get up or down on their performances. It's indoor. We just have to keep believing in ourselves and each other and good things will come.

As I told the kids on the way home, this conference is tough. We have to build mental as well as physical toughness to be competitive.

There was simply this bullying, reduction of 25 percent, which most of us in the community was malicious, and petty, and the sort of thing that most of grew out of a long time ago.

I'm proud of my kids. (This season) was kind of a roller coaster ride. For us to get here, I just shake my head. I'm kind of amazed we even got this far. We've gone through a lot this year. For our kids to hang in there and keep fighting, keep battling and give themselves a chance to play in a sectional is a tribute to the seniors.
