The kids played hard in a very good game and we really stepped up our shooting in the fourth quarter. Nathan (Mahomet head coach Nathan Seal) has put together a quality program over there so this is a big win for us.

I thought our kids gave them a hell of a game. We had them at halftime, but a lot of little things happened. We told the kids if we could hold them under 50 points the game would be ours, and they got 52.

We are not neglecting penmanship, but we have prioritized it in its proper order in the big picture of literacy. If we are in school for six or seven hours a day, it can't be an hour.

Stacey stepped up big for us. As important as her scoring and her defense is her leadership.

I am so impressed with the level that the kids are playing at.

I'm excited about it. The whole idea was for kids to be able to do a project that would count as the community service they need. This will give them something to show off in the public sector, something the community can actually see and enjoy.
