They want it. I know the kids want it. This is progress, but the kids want the playoffs.

This will be a gauge of our progress.

It's amazing how hard these kids can work day in and day out. They are starting to believe in themselves.

We don't mind playing against teams that are bigger. Our kids are getting better all the time and they're going to try to outwork teams. We'll take a couple of days off to rest and then work on fine-tuning some things in preparation for our next game. Today, on a 1-to-10 scale, we were a 5 1/2. On Monday, we're going to be better.

We are concerned because we are not seeing the progress that we had hoped for this week,

I'm optimistic we are making the sort of progress that we need to meet our tight deadlines, ... We have come closer together.
