The kids really stepped it up. We had some people step up and we are proud of how well we played.

The kids played tremendously hard. This was a tough one, but we are proud of the kids' effort Coal City played well down the stretch. They earned it.

Last summer I gave free clinics to kids. I would like to have 20-40 to participate.

We want the kids to show up. We want to be accessible for any needy kid. It costs $300-400 to get started because the equipment is so expensive. We want to draw kids across boundaries to start relationships.

LSU has developed a great tradition here. I think the kids understand what it takes to be champions. They know what it takes. They've done it. I think they're looking forward to giving their best effort to continue to be champions. That's very refreshing and exciting to me.

It has almost everything: from the latest titanium widget to basic safety classes for kids.
