He's a beast. He's one of the few big guys you're going to see all year long that has more assists than turnovers.

Q is just so doggone speedy, ... He's one of the fastest guys on our team and to be able to get the ball in his hands with some space is a pretty good thing for our team.

As I told the guys, we still have a glimmer of hope. We just have to take them one game at a time. We have North Pulaski coming to our place on Friday. We haven't been playing well at home — for whatever reason. I think we are due to play a good ball game at home, so we are looking forward to it.

Defensively, we've got a little more depth, ... We lost quite a few good players Å  but we're deeper this year. We're still pretty young. The guys who are playing got a lot of playing time last year. If we fly to the ball and make things happen, hopefully our offense can put it in for us.

I think I'm ready for leadership. It's a big responsibility ... getting guys emotions up and getting everybody ready on the field. You have to make sure everybody is ready to play mentally and physically.

This league is getting big. We have way more 300-pound guys than ever before. That's not to say all the people in athletics who have died are 300-pound guys. There are so many different reasons.
