He was put in a tough position. We've got a bunch of young kids without much varsity experience. But they're playing really well right now.

A lot of kids came out and were excited about it. I think they're really going to work hard for him and it's going to be a good year.

I love football and have a passion to help kids learn and see them grow and develop. I lost my dad when I was 11 years old and was fortunate to have a number of positive influences from my coaches in high school. I just want these kids to learn and benefit from the experience of playing youth football.

These kids got some invaluable experience.

In my 20 years of experience, this is probably the softest market we've ever had. A lot of property owners and management companies have seen this coming.

This sets up for a real exciting district meet. We have to get ready for a totally different experience (swimming at Ohio University). After training over winter break there, I think we will feel real comfortable there.
