A lot of people say this honor validates my career, but I didn't work hard for validation.

I work hard for the audience. It's entertainment. I don't need validation.

Starting off as slow as I did, 0-for-32, the organization stuck with me and allowed me to work my way through that and feel comfortable, ... It was a great situation for me to come here and play every day, and, really, that was what got the ball rolling for me.

We all want to advance to the state. That's what all the hard work is for. The more people we can get there the better.

This is a great way for the Stanly County agencies to show people the hard work they do for our community. Sometimes people want to help or need help, but don't know what's available,

I've enjoyed seeing the program grow. It has taken a lot of hard work, but now more people want to play. Our team has a lot of chemistry and that really helps us be successful.
