We thought it would be a great way for the kids to get involved. There are very valuable lessons to be learned.

I was kind of a frustrated cook. Being at home with the kids I wasn't working so I thought what if I enter a contest and win $50,000? Wouldn't that be cool. So I just tried it.

We fought hard all game. Our kids didn't give up. Poughkeepsie is a great team. I'm just glad our kids were able to hang in there for the win.

The kids hung in there,

I remember being down on one knee, falling to the ground with kids on top of me.

As soon as Devon gave the ball up, they'd scramble off and pick the other kids up a lot quicker than teams we've played in the past. Some of our players were looking for wide-open shots and they'd hesitate. Once we did that, they were on us. ... We just weren't ready to shoot the ball quick enough.
