Down the road, kids can hear their grandmothers and grandfathers talk.

We pressed, we ran, we played good, hard defense. These kids did everything I asked them to. They played with the heart of a lion, we just didn't come out with the result that we wanted.

I think our kids are excited to go on the road together. They have got to be able to dig down and do what we have done well all year and be better at some things. We need to play with confidence, play hard, play smart, and play together, and we'll live with what happens after that.

One of the mums has made a large sign that reads 'Kids On Road', which is permanently affixed to her recycling bin and we wheel this on to the kerb outside one cul-de-sac entrance. However, all traffic in our area now knows our Friday ritual and slows or stop.

It's always tough to win at the end of the road. I'm just so proud of these kids and this team. They were the first team in school history to beat Cleveland. It's tough to deal with tonight, but Lufkin Hudson is a tough team. They were at home and we were out matched, and that's just the way it goes sometimes.

40 years down the road you're still not educating the kids - and that's all that matters.
