Good character still counts in the Round Lake area and we want to reward it.

If we get through, beating Bloomingdale is going to be a reward. I think because we played in 4A the last two years, we didn't get as much credit, and now I think we're getting that respect from the other teams in the county that we had before.

They sent the material to me as an actress, ... I liked it so much, and I identified with the character and the script so much, I thought: I don't want anybody else telling me what to do, so can I please direct this?

We want to feel at ease, and be as professional as we can.

For me, the most exciting thing is the quality of employers and opportunities.

Don't worry so much about your self-esteem. Worry more about your character. Integrity is its own reward.
