The kids use this as an opportunity for themselves. They're asking us for help, and they leave here saying they had fun.

We don't do therapy here in a one-on-one sense, in the traditional way. These kids are savvy. They've been there, done that.

Everybody keeps saying we're young because we lost 21 seniors. But we're not young, we're just inexperienced. For us, it's about executing the small plays. We didn't do that very well tonight, and it hurt us. That's my fault.

I think the school board felt this is a way to continue to help the kids in River Valley.

This is having a ripple effect. The students have the opportunity to work with Fairchild on something that will help the company function better and save money and it's being manufactured locally.

It is an opportunity for us to help them.
