When me and James [Augustine] were sophomores, we had to win out. It's not a big deal. You just have to go on the road mentally ready to play. It's possible. We just have to work hard and believe we can do it.

But then, who does James (Augustine) guard?

It was a tremendous win for our kids and it's always a big deal around here when we beat Jasper. The kids are so excited about getting things started with a win. They're not really getting the big head about it either. We've had a good couple practices the last two days. This group is not hard to refocus.

It's going to be a big deal to try and get this accomplished,

I just threw it up and prayed it would go in, and it went in. It was a big momentum swing for us going into halftime.

You just don't give up. There have been times when everything seemed to conspire against getting a book done or printed, and I would feel like turning my back on the whole thing. But I came back and persisted.
