I think we should have won by more (against Muncie Central), but we've been off (from competition) for a bit, and we're kind of rusty.

I think it was a little bit of bureaucratic infighting that led to this, but I think it was the right result.

We've been training for this all season and looking forward to the competition in our district. We have four of the better teams in the Northern Region in our district. We had to train a lot harder.

While the wage and benefit changes are difficult, they are necessary for our business to effectively compete against foreign competition.

I think our guys kind of stepped it up and maybe wanted it a little bit more and won some 50-50 balls in their third of the field. That's how we kept the pressure on them.

We want our girls to be exposed to this level of competition. It's good for building interest, and we have had about a 10 percent increase in sign-ups this year.
