This situation is great for me and it's great for the kids. Lamar Christian has got a great future. It will only get better as time goes on.

To be honest, when I first took the job (at Lamar Christian), I didn't think about winning. I wanted to get a different look on life.

As far as the approach to coaching, it's no different. Basketball is basketball. The kids just want to learn the game.

We will also be planting native grasses and shrubs in the landscaping beds at Fortress Rosecrans. We are asking for volunteers to come out and help us with the project.

Once my dad starts something, he never gives up. The church has been important to my mother and father. Even though my sister and I have been out of school here for years, he still gave to educational programs so that others could learn.

We will be removing exotic plants at Fortress Rosecrans as well as on the greenway near the Overall Street trailhead.

I love to push the ball, love to run. The kids love that style.

I think we're still a young team. We still go through spells where we don't score, and sometimes we play down to the level of the competition. So we can definitely step it up a notch.

Last year, they were scoring about four points a game, now they're scoring 44 points. They never quit and they always bring a good attitude. That's what keeps them going.
