I think the competition turned out fine. We are going to look at as something positive.

You have to be able to compensate for the men. You have to compensate them with competition and scholarships to make sure they stay.

They're probably our best competition (in the district). I know they lost to Bradenton Christian, but I think they are just as good (as BC).

It's a positive thing because Howard is all about healthy, friendly competition, and it's a good way to get the students involved, especially the freshmen.

The 2004 elections proved that if you ask them, they will vote. The competition will build on that momentum in 2006 and refine youth-outreach methods.

I heard nothing but positive things. The coaches like the competition and the teams here. But a lot of people stepped forward to make it happen. It would be great to keep it here, but it's up to the ADs from both conferences to decide. This was kind of a trial year, but I hope they can keep it going.
