This was the biggest team win we've had in a while. Justin did an outstanding job on the mound. The defense came through and we had two freshmen step up. This was a big win against a good team.

We're a little gun-shy in the infield because of the errors, but after the first inning we were neck-and-neck with them. I think we have things turned around. After the first inning, we played really well on defense.

The kids are doing exactly what they need to do to win games, be it the clutch hit or the big (defensive) play. We have a lot of inexperience out there, but these guys are playing older than that.

My philosophy is: Life is hard, but God is good. Try not to confuse the two.

To overcome adverse circumstances, you have to learn to overcome your own hang-ups, values, and idiosyncrasies in order to value other people, cultures, and ideas.

I never went to college. But the structure I grew up with was planted so deep that when it came to doing business, I knew how to be disciplined, create teamwork, and persevere. It set me up to be an entrepreneur and a successful franchiser.
