Being an old school teacher, I look at this as a final exam for my seniors. For the other 15 kids in that locker room, this was the first game of next year.

One game can make a season, especially when you have just four wins going into the game.

I'd probably say nothing. We'll see how it goes. It's probably better, I think, if I did that.

This is great for the school district and downtown Pine Bluff.

That's really been an enjoyable thing on my part. Those three guys coach with the middle school team. I don't know if the kids know how talented they are, but all three were some of the best in the state. We're very fortunate to have those guys.

When Penn State jumped, that had an impact on the EWL. That's a national-name school leaving the league. It always drew big crowds.
