Our Gautier Rotary tournament is one of the best in Jackson County. Last year we had to turn people away. We always have a great time and it all benefits the community.
People compose the schedules they do out of the priorities they have; and someone who says otherwise is deceiving himself about what he really values. The same thing applies to money that applies to time. I make a practice of watching what people do, never what they say. Whatever is important, to anyone sane, he will make a place for it; people live out their values. Values are different in this respect from "ideals," which are typically vain and effete and thus exist mostly for the sake of promoting self-delusions.
OK, I feel you. But I know one thing. If a NASCAR driver ever got on the court with me, they wouldn't be able to keep up. That would be like me driving a bus in a NASCAR race.

The most improved player in the whole Valley. No doubt about it. It was all guts. He's not a kid that you sit down and watch lots of film with because he is what I would call not the most cerebral player, but he's the toughest player.
That was a 10. Even after 15 times it was a 10.
The second thing that happened was that we didn't get them the ball when we had our scorers open. It was kind of a double-edged sword for us.
People would game plan for Bryce because he could flat-out shoot the ball, and there was no doubt about it. What people don't know about him is his tenacity on defense.
One of the biggest reasons is to make sure the water flows away from the house. You don't want the water to break into the foundation.
