Having made the adjustment to 4A last year, we are a little more prepared as to what we need to accomplish to get back to state.

At this point, I'm just hoping the younger players begin to gel with the older ones. Hopefully with Twin, we'll see where we are realistically -- if we can compete and possibly pull out a victory. A little confidence-builder, regardless of the score, could go a long way.

We're excited about that. Twin has always been a good rivalry, and the 7 p.m. start allows more people to come out.

I think offense will be our strength. We lost a lot to graduation in the back, so that's where we're trying to catch up.

There are too many things being legislated that should be left up to the DOE.

I guess rock stars are role models for the kids who listen to that music. My role models have all been geologists - you know, the guys who are doing fieldwork until they're 70.
