It's the best feeling in the world to see kids that you've trained achieve at a national event. You work so closely with them, day in and day out, it becomes like a second family.

It was a great win. I know some of those kids over there. I was pumped for it.

Our kids just went to work. I was very impressed with their resolve.

It's hard for me to explain. I don't have an ego. I'm going to work to give these kids a chance to win. If we win, it's theirs. You guys are making this too complicated, believe me.

We're just playing well as a team. The kids work hard every week in practice. We're off to a good start but the season's really long and there's a lot left to accomplish.

We can play up the us-against-the-world angle, and it works well. I know our kids are comfortable in that role right now.
