I can't see how this decision won't help Donovan. He won't have to be looking over his shoulder anymore.

For years, I used to make our offensive and defensive linemen, if they weighed over 275 pounds, lose weight down to 275 or under just for health reasons. Today, we've relaxed that a little bit because these guys have gotten so much bigger.

He was an offensive lineman on our 1996 state championship team. His weight wasn't a problem as a junior, but when he began to fill out, he gained too much weight. He didn't start a number of games because he wasn't at 275 or under.

When kids are going to gyms and working with personal trainers, you just don't know what they are feeding the kids. It's a scary thing because no one is real sure about what the effects of all these supplements are.

We're thrilled to have a coach of this caliber. I've been watching him since his days at Mendel. He has great integrity and is an outstanding coach. He'll make a great addition to the Mount Carmel family.

It was frustrating for us because we kept on having big plays that were offset by penalties. We just told the kids to come out in the first five minutes of the second half and set the tempo, and take their frustration out on Rice.

Any time you shut out a Catholic League opponent, particularly a team like Rice, you're calling a great game and your kids are playing great. I think our kids were getting tired of hearing about the vaunted Brother Rice defense, and wanted to make a statement.

I don't know if you can really contain him (Jones). The best way for us to contain him was to keep our offense on the field and him on the sideline.

He's the only person we interviewed. He's an excellent, excellent basketball coach and a person of great integrity.

You've got to improve. It's not about who we're playing. It's about us getting better.

The Eagles will get him out of there. We've always told Donovan and our kids that you can't have great chemistry with me-guys instead of we-guys. Owens thought it was all about him.
