Derek's time at the beginning of last season was around 22 minutes, but by the end of the year he was in the low 18's. He wants to knock another minute off that this year. If he improves on his sprinting, I think he's capable of that. By the time he's a senior, he could be one of the best in the league.

I don't really even want to think about Cooper. I'm so concerned with Central. They're a good basketball team. They're very capable of beating us and going to San Angelo is never easy. Cooper is not on the radar right now.

As the New Orleans area begins its recovery, we are pleased to play a part. Returning our employees to work and to their livelihoods will also help in the recovery process.

Our top five guys all finished in the top 30, so we're seeing improvement. It was the hardest course we'll run on this year, so the times weren't great.

Obviously on paper it's a lot better (to be 4-1). I'm incredibly proud of the kids and where they've put themselves. The kids have worked their tails off. Now we've got to finish it.

Kyle has really been working hard in the workouts and he's been running with the seniors, which is good.

Their attitude is they don't want the team to get really good after they graduate. They want it to be good now and later on.

I'm impressed with how well they're playing. They're quick, they shoot the ball well and they press. They play full-court for 32 minutes. If things are falling for them they're especially tough.

It was a very hot day, so our times weren't as good as we would have wanted. The race started at 1:50 in the afternoon, so it was the hottest part of the day.
