I couldn't believe it. It's shocking. You see the fire into the distance (and) you hope it's not your house or anything like that.

Rankings don't mean anything to me, but it was fuel for the fire for our guys and I hope they go in with a chip on their shoulder, because I know we're talented enough to win the whole thing. However, you have to earn respect, it's not given to you, so we have to go earn it.

They both have that competitive fire in their bellies. Mark was one of a kind. He had that knack for shooting on the run. Sean has more power in his game. He'll knock you with his shoulders or hips and change directions.

This is in the very preliminary stages. We hope we'll have something this year to show people.

We do not feel it will happen again, at least not in 2006, ... We've been working with the fire department and may try some other things to help enhance the jamboree.

The biggest thing is they are all seniors. They were thrown into the fire as freshmen; now, experience is a strength. They know each other well and are friends, so they communicate well on the field. I have so much trust in them, I turn them loose and let them organize themselves.
