I've got some wonderful kids. We'll respond and come back and play well. You're going to see a great game at 5:15 p.m.

This has been a fun bunch to coach. Other coaches have complemented the kids on the way they play and that's a great reflection on the type of kids these players are.

The kids also develop a bound with the dog and they really look forward to come back on Wednesdays. A boy that I have helped for 14 months now can't wait to come read every week. For a kid that did not like to read, this is quite an accomplishment. This is great.

Each year the recruiting is getting better. Better kids are looking at us, and we're getting more of the blue-chip players, so I think the improvements are still coming. I think the next couple years it's really going to take off.

It's a great win for our program, it's a milestone for us. We play a very difficult schedule early, and at this point right now it's great to be 1-1.

He accepts his role because he knows that's what we need to do to win. The main thing which separates him from so many other kids is he's such a good person.
