When they play, they're doing all the fundamentals. And while they're doing it, they're having fun and lifting each other up.

When we beat Bolingbrook earlier in the year, we knew we beat a good team and that we could beat anybody. Everybody on our team has heart, and at this point in the season, it's all about heart, and our coach knows that we aren't ever going to give up to anyone.

They're darn good players. I'm used to playing on the varsity. They came in here and struggled in some ways, but they earned their playing time with their defense. They have heart, just like this whole team has.

God helped me, and it went in.

Dad's a trip, a true one-of-a-kind. He really was doing all those things at once. When I was still living at home into my early 20's, his office was above my room, and I'd hear him up there working at 2 a.m. He hardly ever slept.
