The hotel already has a good reputation and the new brand will see extensive investment to bring it up to the standard expected of a top-quality Holiday Inn hotel.

These guys work real hard together and have been willing to take on new roles for the benefit of the team. The team is unselfish and stands behind one another. Even with all the injuries we are constantly having people step up and answer the call.

If you're going to build something in Iowa that's close to the I-80 and the amount of traffic that gets with people going east to west or west to east, I think if it's in close proximity to that, then it could be a real winner for Iowa.

I'm not surprised at all by how we played. We have a lot of talent this year, and it's great to open the season against a team like Fenwick. You are able to find out right away where you stand.

I'm really struggling at work, my job is physically demanding, and Ashley really doesn't need this right now.

They did not quit (after Prospect scored). I've seen Oak Park teams drop their heads when that happened in the past. They lifted each other up and rose to the challenge. That type of attitude will take them far in soccer and life.

As long as any memorial put on the mountain is just a plaque or a stone with a name on it, I can't see any problem with that.

The second half I tried out a few new looks.
