"I admire that HOUSTON area program to the fullest. BTW, I like the GCBC program, I like the Rookies, the Houston Elite and even the Swagger program... They all have made the best of what they have and showed up for battle. If the best in the state is there to compete all of the aforementioned programs will be there..."
