For too long the voice of Mr. Kennard has cried, but no one has listened. In order for the state to clear its past, we must lift up the rug and sweep the dust.

He (Thames) said he's supporting us, and he hates Mr. Kennard had to go through that.

We just want to clear his name. We want his soul to be free.

We've been too silent for too long. This should have been taken care of a long time ago.

In order to have a winner, the team must have a feeling of unity; every player must put the team first -- ahead of personal glory.

In order to deserve, we must pay our dues and steadily work for perfection. We must relish in struggle, and relinquish pride. We must dispel fear and seek enlightenment. We must shun division and honor love. We must know our hearts and seek to understand others. We must try, live, create, feel, grow and love.
