After this kind of season, our expectations are high. Our girls have a shot at being in the top-three teams.

He's been working hard, and it's paying off for him.

That was the highlight of the weekend. She's really coming on strong.

Maybe I had a little higher expectations. It's kind of hard sometimes when you expect more girls to go out since we are a bigger school.

I told the girls that I don't want their expectations for the year to be any lower than winning our district. Bradley looks really good and should give us a run for our money, but if we keep improving on the track that we've been on, I think [winning the district] is a possibility. I think we're going to upset some people as the season goes on.

Both 'Freaky Friday' and 'Mean Girls' were movies, not unlike this, that you went into with low expectations, but I was delighted by. Romantic comedy is delicate, in developing the story, in casting, getting the right two people together, and directing it. In this one, even more so, because it deals with life and death, too. It could be melodramatic in the wrong hands, and (Waters) needed to balance these elements. I think he was able to let both things live, and that it had an emotional reality but it never let go of its comic heart.
