We started off all right. We moved the ball well and played good team basketball. But Price and Saxon are big kids and they just wore us down in the end.

This is almost a ridiculously hard course, one of the toughest courses we'll see all year. We really ran pretty well, and the runners gave in everything they had and left it all out there.

Our goal is to help kids find good jobs. Last year, contractors called looking for students who wanted to work in the trades, and several of our students were hired.

I think the audience is truly all ages: I don't put anything in there that kids can't see, or shouldn't see, but I have to keep it interesting for me as an adult

That's right, kid. Never play an ace if a two will do.

All kids draw some kind of cartoon characters. They just grow out of them, and I didn't
