John Goodman

When I was in high school playing against those guys I really didn't feel friendly towards them at all.

I have a lot of respect for them.

Jillian Rose Reed

Randy Fletcher

We're going to score some runs this year, you can count on that. Timmy is a big key to our club, but we have a really potent offense overall so we'll be quite all right.

The key is to tailor the content to the platform.
