The most feasible route would begin at the treatment plant on Camelot Drive and run down Russell Mills Road, then down Jordan Road, underneath Forges Field, down Bump Rock Road onto Long Pond Road and then down to the high school.

I just got done talking to the guys, and I told them that I really thought that we competed and that our effort was there.

We're looking for our guys to come out and compete hard every night.

It's almost like playing football, where you can physically get beat up. You're going to get physically challenged every night.

Because our lies matched. It was a sign.

I don't want to slow him down at all right now because he's excited about the possibility of coming back. I know he looks at it as his goal and I don't want to take away his dream.

That's pretty good.
