It's been awesome. I like it here a lot. It's definitely one of my favorite schools.

It's still relatively cheap compared to other schools and professional teams. The team will be worth the price of admission.

Some of the schools at the 3A level wanted to do competitions, but it never got off the ground because there wasn't a central hub organizing it. When somebody outside came in, it got organized and it will be a lot more successful that way.

I wanted to make a decision before the season but that was before I got into the whole recruiting process. Right now I haven't ruled anyone out.

When you see a 12-year-old hitting the ball at 75 to 80 mph, it just gets the team's juices flowing. If he can do it, then everybody else can do it. It's very inspiring to see him play the game.

Like healthcare preparedness that preceded it, schools are one of the two 'magic bubbles' where we seem to think our children are somehow divinely protected when we put them on the bus each day. We have infrastructure that is in some cases over 100 years old, and built in a time, and in a manner, for the era when chewing gum was the major crime on campus. Today, we have to appreciate that natural disasters are on the rise, as is crime, in and around school campuses.
