I have signed (initiative petitions) in the past, but the last round I didn't even bother. It just seems like every initiative has some baggage or special interest associated with it.

[Marshall] has matured physically. He's been a monster the past couple of weeks. He had 22 rebounds in a game recently, and if he gets the rebounds, then he's entitled to shoot the ball.

I told the guys if we could get past Polk, we have a good shot at surprising West Wilkes (22-1) in the second round. We've been doing that all year. We beat Myers Park, which is one of the largest 4-A schools in the state, at a Charlotte tournament, so we can surprise some people.

Well, we're catching the ball, so that is a start. We've had some difficulties fielding the ball in the past, but we've got confidence now in both (Thurman) and (Roby). So, it starts there.

He's got a lot more composure this year than he has in the past,

We've been known for our depth for the past few years.
