Jeff Meyers Quotations

We're still in the middle of it, but in a lot of ways Thomas has broken through. I don't think it was easy. On a personal level, he had to have a persevering spirit. It was a battle of the heart.

We're not willing to strap a future school board with an unreasonable clause, and the me-too is unreasonable over a long period of time because we don't know what the future is going to hold.

He's going to be a steal for somebody. I fully expect him to be an early offer type player. He's already getting plenty of attention from all of the local teams ? Kansas, Kansas State, Missouri and others are already all over him. But I think he's good enough to play for almost anybody that can use a back in his mold.

I say he's the fastest kid in the state of Kansas. I say that because he took third in the state in the 100 as a sophomore with a 10.6 and the other two that finished ahead of him were seniors. He should win it this year. He just has that extra gear that doesn't let anybody catch him.

Right now, we've got a full-court press on to try to communicate as effectively as we can.

Now it's easier. Before you couldn't really hike up there with a camera guy and a video guy because it was just too much work, so if we can run laps through that area, then maybe we can get some good footage.

A lot of folks are baby boomers coming in from out of state that now have money they can spend on second homes.

It's a real feather in Coach Allen's hat to get a kid like Derek Miller. In my opinion, Derek is the best football player in the Kansas City metro area.

It's highly unusual for this kind of dispute about the inner workings of any appellate court to become public, as it has here.

Darren had much thicker hips, and he was able to run over you if he had to. D-Bell is a lot thinner and not as thick, but he has incredible speed and nobody can catch him. He doesn't have to run over too many people.

Every board member knew what was going on.
