I was pleased. The kids are coming along and we're headed in the right direction. We still have a little ways to go, but we're getting there.

I'm really happy for TJ and Chad. We're extremely proud of what our kids did and how they came through. We had to have three of them win to get that fourth-place trophy and that's what they did.

I think generally we're heading in the right direction, but we still don't have enough seats for all theses kids.

The program is heading in the right direction. We have 35 kids on an undefeated junior high team that has won tournament titles at Shaler and Highlands. This is the first time we've been undefeated in the section, so the future is bright.

I think the play from the bench tonight is a step in the right direction. Our kids are starting to understand that's an unselfish thing they can do for Galesburg basketball.

You can't just go to the voters and ask them to just do what's right for the kids anymore. You have to run a true political issue campaign. You've got to convince the voters. You've got to be talking to them. You can't just assume that community spirit is going to pass the issue.
