I'm excited that we matched last year's win total. We've got a lot of young kids and we've got five freshmen on this team. All have contributed this season.

This is the most progressive organization in the area, and I'm a better person for knowing the kids,

I told our kids before the game to take your walks when you can get them. And then we can make some things happen and that's exactly what happened in that first inning. The kids did a good job to get themselves on base.

There are so many great players out there that are untapped. Maybe it's international [golfers] or kids that didn't [play in] the AJGA. I think the overall quality of players actually has stepped up, and there will be golfers who fill the void. This will be an opportunity for more players to shine.

We have a lot of tough cases that come along, some involving young kids on their own trying to get along. Some people think that they are out on the dole all of their life, but that may only be 25 percent. Some might have lost a job. Think about how well you would be doing if you lost a job.

If you're only going to have one or two kids, it kind of focuses your attention on finding the name that is 'perfect,'
