This has always been a dream of mine and this is as good as winning a state championship, but it would have been nice to win both.

I always put emphasis on being a scholar before an athlete. An injury can end a sports career on any play, but putting academics first is always a safe bet.

Right now it's my top choice. Middlebury is considered a Division III Ivy League school and it's ranked eighth in the top 10 of liberal arts schools in the nation.

You would think that his lifelong dream was to coach a team that won a state championship, but he wasn't really thinking about basketball when he started here. Once he took the job, he got so serious and watched and learned. His teams pride themselves on defense, which makes them fun to watch.

Sanborn will be competitive this season. Winning a championship fuels additional success. You don't win two straight championships without having a deep program.

It's been a dream of mine for a while.
