"Both Ms. Schreiber and I agreed that this year could be a
stellar year for this program," said Ed Jodlowski, who coaches the
team with Schreiber. "These kids have been part of this system now
for four years and are on a course to be very successful. For
motivation this year, we've spent a lot of time talking about the
tradition of Lincoln speech, acknowledging the success that Dan
McLaughlin brought to the school. We have told the kids they are
part of that legacy. The sky is truly the limit with this group of
kids, but we have a lot of work to do and they (the kids) know that
too."
