We're moving more than a grade level a year. That's way more impressive than anything we've done so far.

That's what we need, some guys that have done well at their level. I tell them they're far more advanced at their age than I was. I couldn't play like they could when I was in my early 20s.

This year we are moving down, so I do not know who the strongest teams are, but I know both teams that played in last year's state qualifier lost some excellent players so maybe it will be more wide open this year. Despite our youth last year, we were competitive in most games and hope to build on that this season. Last year's experience should help us.

Once I got hurt my ninth-grade year, I thought that juggling two sports was too much, so I decided to give my all to track.

You've got a surplus so far for the year of just under an inch, which is good.

We should get that down to one pill by the end of the year. It's very impressive.
