We kind of like it, being below the radar. I think our kids have been working hard during each season. They've been getting better throughout the season, and that's what's allowed us to get to state the last three years.

Every year the kids are a little lazier than the kids before. Is it all the Internet? No, but that's part of it. Within 15 minutes, they get all they need, and their work ethic just isn't that good anymore.

We were out there for 3 or 3 ½ hours almost every night ... it's good for the kids to see some rewards for their work.

I don't talk about Jeremy a lot, ... I just tell the kids he gave his all every day and he didn't know what going at half-speed meant. That was his personality. He was pretty special. But we can't look back any more. We have to look forward to this season.

The kids were screaming, they were in shock and one kid definitely had a broken leg. Another kid, a cable that's on the street over there was wrapped around the kid's neck, he couldn't breathe, so we tried moving that out of the way, but I didn't want to move the kids because I was afraid that any movement would hurt them. I just wanted to make sure they were protected from any additional injury.

We have a new vaccine against diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis. It's called Boostrix [and it is] licensed for kids 11 to 18 years of age.
