We've rebuilt the perimeter of the field and have been treating it with industrial grade detergent throughout the spring and summer.

We never got anything going on the perimeter. They certainly did, far better than anyone else we've defended throughout the tournament and throughout the year. Not many teams shoot 48 percent against us.

We couldn't do what we do without our sponsors. I can't say enough how important our sponsors play into this.

We have one of the best playing fields in the country. So far this fall, the field was used 88 times. It went from 13 to 88 in just the fall. ... It went from mud to state-of-the-art grass.

They have almost totally revamped their football field, but the construction work around the high school might cause too many parking problems for them to make a bid this time.

You can only do the best you can. We set the benchmark and everyone is trying to catch up with us. Athletes are treated with respect and professionalism. Nobody does it like Wheeling does. Wheeling is a great place to live.
