All of those years of hard work are paying off and both those guys have an excellent shot at going all the way. They're both peaking at the right time.

We're doing everything we can to make it safe and playable. There's a lot of hard work going into this and I won't be sleeping until Saturday. This was the largest stage ever built and the last of it didn't come out until [yesterday] morning. What we saw then was certainly bad enough for us to try to replace it. I made some phone calls.

Every day with this team we've gotten better. One day our hard work is going to pay off.

Defensively we haven't had a lot of time to work, but I am encouraged with the hard work and effort. When we work on defensive skills, they have worked hard. We have better team chemistry; they all get along. Last year it was an individual thing.

Ten long years of planning and hard work by many people is finally going to come to fruition. I am happy for the volunteers who have worked so hard, including the bingo volunteers who have been at it for 10 years.

We went to work. Hard work.
