It shouldn't be up to somebody else you know. The President, the government, the township or whatever that change their businesses because they're not the ones in the business.

At first, our evacuation orders were just for the low-lying areas, but now it's the entire Calcasieu Parish. We've got buses running continuously to get residents out. We're trying to learn from other areas, not to repeat their mistakes.

We've looked up the squads that are competing [in the Girls' Sweet 16] and we think we've got a good shot at placing in the top four again. We've got an outstanding group of young ladies to work with.

Overall, we played a good competitive match.
