It's amazing how hard these kids can work day in and day out. They are starting to believe in themselves.

They want it. I know the kids want it. This is progress, but the kids want the playoffs.

We don't mind playing against teams that are bigger. Our kids are getting better all the time and they're going to try to outwork teams. We'll take a couple of days off to rest and then work on fine-tuning some things in preparation for our next game. Today, on a 1-to-10 scale, we were a 5 1/2. On Monday, we're going to be better.

Cell phones don't always work, so the cards allow kids to call home or call a friend.

The man you saw out here crossing your kids every day, that was Jim. He came to work every day with a smile on his face. He loved your kids.

We came in very relaxed. We came out and did what we wanted to do and the kids played with a lot of confidence.
