The football numbers are huge, especially for modified. We weren't sure what to expect. There was a bit of tentativeness at first. But now, there's so many options, we're exploding off the charts.

I think it's big. We're a small community and sports are huge here. Just look at the Friday night football. If you've ever been to Cato on a Friday night you know the town shuts down. Everybody's at the field supporting the team.

When it's football season, I'm all football.

There's still the fan support, still the community support and still the district support. It's all very critical to our success.

In football, like in life, you must learn to play within the rules of the game.

I've felt sorry for young people who didn't have an opportunity to play football, because I know what the game can offer.
