We like to think that consumers are checking up on us to see how we're doing.

We are always looking to improve in all areas. Our Centers of Excellence, which include facilities for kidney, vascular and thoracic disease, have performed very well. We continue to look for the latest treatments and newest techniques to minimize risks to our patients.

It would make Oakdale's season to beat us and knock us out of first place. I believe they're feeling like they can do that. We've been noticing their scores and they're playing people a lot tougher. We're going to get their absolute best.

We're to the point that every game is a one-game season to us. I don't personally feel like Woodland is going to lose any more games. They may, but that's our way of thinking. We stumble just one time and we're tied and twice they win it outright. We have to stay sharp and get prepared to win every game.

It would certainly be a little easier to save a little gas by having us playing against E.B. Aycock, A.G. Cox and those type of schools. Especially when there's a big gas crunch and you're traveling all over creation now.

We have worked a lot harder on our plays this year. Our plays have helped us a lot. But to run the plays everyone on the team has to contribute. And when everyone contributes that brings you a lot closer together.
