We were trying to find some way of providing services and programs to kids in this community that would give them some opportunities that normally they may not have.

We want to bring everyone to the table with one goal in mind, to make the community better for kids,

We have the third highest youth crime rate in the state of Kentucky. We're trying to find ways to give them alternatives to better themselves and the community.

We're doing this for the kids. We're an independent group of community and business leaders, coaches and residents who are concerned for the future of our schools.

(Sisters) was trying to sub guys in every two minutes and shoot three's. Our kids like to play the passing lanes -- Chris Bailey did an excellent job getting out there (and getting steals).

It's been a grind. We're trying to work on things, and it's especially important for us because we've got kids who haven't played much together. But we're definitely getting some things accomplished.
