The national media is reporting a housing bubble. Don't believe it.

My prediction is this: Building permits nationally will drop somewhere around 5 percent, but the Southeast and my markets will be roughly the same as 2005 unless some major events happen, such as a disruption in (the) oil supply.

I don't think Lexington is going to have a huge spike (in permits), but I also don't see it having an Atlanta-kind of decline (in recent years) of 35 percent either. It's a very stable market.

Even if the building inspector says there's something wrong with it, it's gonna stay there.

Our goal this year, just like every year, is to win the State Tournament.

It was validation that others would subscribe to our dream.
