He does things to jump start us. He so active on the defensive end anticipating, creating tips and steals, that he acts as a catalyst for us and really gets us going.

It was a good win for us tonight. We have a lot of new kids out there and for their first tournament experience, I thought they handled it pretty well.

Tom has been pretty consistent for us this year. He's an eight-rebound, eight-point type of guy who plays some nice defense.

We like to match up and disguise our zones. We wanted them to become a perimeter team and give them the outside shot but always have someone in their face contesting every attempt.

We had two players coming back this year in Well and (Ron) Dunn. We were hoping that Jim would be able to step in a give us the outside shooter. Tim is more of a slasher and Ron is an inside player, so he gives us a nice mix. Jim's outside game loosens things up inside for our big guys.

This tax plan would give us probably another eight, maybe 10, years before we have to deal with a court case and the schools suing us again. What that does is put off the reforms that are really needed in our school funding system.
