It took a long time last year (for Polytech to get its first win). We've got that one win out of the way at the beginning of the season, now we can go out here and win more.

When Ossie wrote 'Purlie,' he knew it would open doors that were usually kept closed. Sheldon made it clear to those of us who had certain characters that pushed the envelope that we were to take them to the edge. And sometimes it's difficult to get to that place.

I knew that if I wanted to make any sort of living, I had to go there.

There's a whole lot more confidence on this team, ... We want to win. There's a whole of kids that have grown up losing and we're tired of it - we're just sick and tired of it.

I was very worried that I wouldn't be able to play in the beginning of the season,

I'm ready. It's time. Shout it out loud, ... It's time. It's time. It's time.
