His attitude, just his presence was lacking early in the year. But he found it and now he's locked in.

We found the problem has occurred more often this year.

I found them to be an intimidating presence.

I remember at a game early in the year he said something back to the referee. I kind of got on him real hard. 'That's not how things get done here and at the next level.' After the game, I had him apologize to the ref. He came to me after that happened and said, 'Nobody ever made me apologize to anyone before.' He's a very good kid. He's become a good teammate.

The family ride will be special because last year we had 200 kids ride, but we found that a lot of kids were not included. As you know, Ms. (Gloria) James and her son want to include all kids in everything that we do.

We need leadership. Last year, we had leadership, but it probably wasn't enough. This year, we're locked in on that.
