She got a lot of really good experience traveling and playing tougher competition. But it's really a blessing that she came back and played for us her senior year. I think she's really glad she came back out, and we are too.

The competition is making them better. They don't like it. They would like to say, 'Hey, I'm the guy, I'm the star.' And you want that. You want a guy in there that wants to be the guy. But it's making them compete, whether they like it or not.

We go there for experience. We get them competition experience and try to give them some incentive to keep working hard.

It was good experience for everyone. We have two seniors on the team and although this is their last competition it was a good experience.

Our store visits suggested that the company's various fascias were discounting earlier and more heavily than the competition and that is rarely a good sign at this time of year.

Thornton is progressing, has progressed this year. Matt has not only had limited big-league experience, but limited experience, period.
