We can come back and have a good season. If we can figure out a way to beat Franklin Central, there's no reason we shouldn't be in the hunt to win another conference championship.

After the season I did some soul searching. I've missed a lot of my kids' activities, and I justified it by saying they were only in the third, fourth, fifth grade. I kept telling myself that I'd make time during football season, but I couldn't pull myself away. I figured it might be a good time to step back.

Lawrence Central is a great place. The teachers and administrators are extremely supportive, there are outstanding assistant coaches, and I have a great group of kids.

Chuck has always been gifted, but he's much more disciplined. He attended some camps, got a good look at what great wide receivers look like and has been working his tail off. John Baldwin is a super possession receiver with good feet and great balance. They complement each other very well.
