The division between the schools was not snobbery, ... It was all about competitive sports. Ocean City really was better in sports, especially in basketball, winning championships.

We've been working diligently to introduce new, healthier offerings that give schools a broader selection of better-for-you-options than ever before. We're also providing incentives to our bottlers that will encourage compliance with the new policy. As an industry, we are part of the solution.

We have rules in place that limit the kinds of activities schools can organize in different sports during out-of-season times.

It's strictly 1A schools from here, and I think by the end of the year we can be one of the better 1A schools. We may not have won conference since 1998, but we've won three state championships since then. That's what we're shooting for now.

If we hadn't fought for them, our schools would have received an amount so low it would have again required cutting calendar days and other devastating cuts,

We are at a disadvantage to the larger high schools. At times, I feel like we really haven't been completely prepared for college.
