He has such a positive effect on the other kids. His sense of humor and work ethic are great examples of how to be loose but also focused.

They're both positive role models for the younger wrestlers. What convinced me to make them captains was their work ethic, commitment and willingness to sacrifice for the team.

I really like our work ethic and the athletes we have. I'm anxious to get them on the field. I think we're very capable of being a quality team but at the same time we need to see them in action.

I have been very impressed with their attitude and work ethic.

Our attitude is still great. Our work ethic is great. We aspire to make the playoffs, so we still have a lot to play for.

Our work ethic, the professionalism and experience of our staff all go into that (optimism). Everyone has responded well. Having fourth-period athletics this year makes all the difference in the world as far as teaching goes.
