Our setters really did a good job of moving the ball around.

I think people are trying to give him the benefit of saying what is your platform and how do you differ from the lieutenant governor.

They're getting better. We're strong across the board now. The thing that most impressed me is this is really a tough tournament, I played 15 kids today and they all stepped up.

This year our team is going to get a chance to play in the state finals early. We get a chance to play Bedford (in the District). I think we're closer to them than we've ever been, but Bedford is the team to beat in the state.

I would say it's really for Christy.

I really like her. She's that grunt that gets the job done.
