It's a great bunch of kids with some great hearts. That's why I'm doing this. They've taught me so much. Sure they give me a few gray hairs and probably some heartburn, but they also keep me young inside.

I certainly want the kids to be the best they can, but if we don't win all the games, it's not that big of a deal any more. I'm equally concerned now with making sure these girls develop into wonderful members of the community.

We've never used the turf in this kind of weather before, but I suppose that's why they got it. Not many teams are practicing today. This will help us out down the road.

You have the kids' trust and they know what is expected of them.

It's fun. The kids enjoyed it a lot.

I was able to get every one of the kids a lot of playing time.
