I just wanted to follow successful programs and I always want our kids to play the very best competition. I want them to take pride in who they play.

The kids are ready to play. It goes beyond getting the pads. They want the competition.

It's important. We play that second one because in a tie that's how we see who goes.

There has never been a successful follow-up to the original 'Kong'; the 1970s remake tanked. The original film became such an unexpected success that there has never been anything substantial to add to it, and no possible way to compete with what was already achieved.

We know St. Augustine is a really great program. We had some nice individual swims from the kids, and we hope that's a good indication of how we can do next year. We were a little outgunned today but we still wanted to work hard and try to do our best.

We just didn't show up for last week's game against Joshua Springs. I told our kids that they (Excelsior) would come out and hit you hard because they have some good players, and you'll have to execute our game plan better than you did last week. The other teams are looking for that opportunity to beat us and have that second-place playoff spot, and we really need to step it up.
