We did everything from raking leaves to gutting houses and I felt privileged to be able to help those who weren't able to help themselves.

People protested to help those who were really in need. The longer we were exposed to the travesty of the lower 9th ward residence, the longer we wanted to stay and help them rather than attend to those in the upper St. Bernard's Parish community.

It's pretty sad and gloomy. We're wishing this wasn't over right now.

We played a good game. It would have been a lot better if we won.

It is weird to look over there and see her shooting orders and calling timeouts. She's always shot orders at me. I never thought it would be at someone else.

I'm a little nervous, but I will do the best I can.

I don't think anyone ever likes to lose. She feels like she hasn't done enough for them, but she can't play for them.
