Besides, I didn't have grandchildren in high school,

It was naivete at the time. In high school, you don't know what goes into it ... until you get into it and see what it's all about. Before the Atlanta Olympics, this was tougher than I thought.

When I was in high school, I earned the pimple award and every other gross-out award.

I'm looking at taking second or third in the small school championships. We have a lot of great stand-out guys who, if they perform well, should get us there. Overall, I was satisfied with the meet. We worked hard all year and they performed well. We're just lacking a bit of depth.

I don't think we need a school board in the sky. It's a local issue.

I've known him since he was about 5 years old. I watched him grow up. In his school, in his community, he was always willing to help and always led by example. He brought out the best in other people in athletics and I think he set the example in the classroom by performing and doing the things he was asked of him.
