This is definitely the most popular fundraiser that we do. It beats selling fruit or the other things kids sell to raise money. Plus, playing in the stadium gives them something to look forward to when it's all over.

This is a huge win for this young team. These kids don't quit. There are no nails in the coffin just yet and we've really got nothing to lose.

The kids are really excited about this. This is the first time the band has been able to do something like this.

I will be a teacher as well as a coach and will try to teach kids how important a good work ethic is and how to handle adversity. Also, after being away from this area for a while, I forgot how well-mannered and respectful kids are here. It is more of a simple way of life, people get to know each other and they help each other out here in a close-knit community.

The way that this school is able to get kids to play at championship levels speaks volumes about the area and the type of kids that go to the school. Anybody can say they want to do it, but it takes pride, dedication and the will to work to actually get it done. And these kids believe in getting the job done.

Some kids do play a little too much. I have friends who stay home all day and play.
