They don't need a ton of space. I know people are talking about the great backs in the state, but I think we've got a pretty good one in Ray.

He's going to run the offense, he'll audible some plays for us and he comes off the field and tells us exactly what the defense is doing to a certain formation. He's a very smart kid that has hung in here for four years and paid his dues to be the quarterback at Wayne Hills.

We're not ready to win a State championship with them, but I thought they passed their first test. What I really like about them is every scrimmage they got better. We have pointed out mistakes and every scrimmage they got better.

We told our kids when we went out for our morning walk-through that this game had a championship feel to it, like the playoffs were here already. That's how we approached it and our kids responded very well.

I'd been in bands for 30 years. When I met Len, I knew that he had it. I had no idea what it was, but his songs really spoke to me. I'm here because I want to be. You know, stories about lost love and broken hearts have been done a million times in country music, but there's a special quality to the way Len writes about it. It touches me, and it touches my soul.
