It's never an easy thing. It takes a lot of effort.

I liked theater, but I was a nurse, a mother, and later a school psychologist. I didn't have time to do this before, and I wanted to include as many people in the cast as possible.

This group is such a wonderful, friendly group. We're very nurturing of each other.

You are encouraged to be creative. I was creating something I enjoy, and it clicked with the script committee. You sometimes have a good idea on paper, but it doesn't work on stage. That's when it's great to have the wonderful and supportive people here. If they had a suggestion, it was welcome, and they helped put the show together.

This was a great effort by our guys. One of the keys for us is our defensive intensity. When we play good defense, we're a pretty good team.

I am happy for our kids, they are an outstanding bunch who have put in the time and effort this season. We are going to the second round and take one game at a time.
