The underlying theme of the first question is that the Ainsworth brothers are the head coaches of football and basketball at Marshfield. Justin is the head football coach and Jesse is the head basketball coach. Dalton Milburn was all league in both sports last year.
GH is Gary Haliski
DM is Dalton Milburn
GH: I was hoping your head football coach would be standing next to you when I asked this question, but he's not. What is your favorite sport to play, football or basketball?
DM: [Dalton looks around for coach Justin Ainsworth]. Basketball, but if coach was standing here, I would say football.
GH: Now the toughie. Which coach is better? Justin in football or Jesse in basketball?

GH: What is your pregame meal?
DM: For lunch it's Subway. About 2 to 3 hours before the game I start chugging Gatorade.
GH: What music do you listen to on your Ipod?
DM: I start off slow with some country. About two hours before the game I listen to rap, and in the locker room it's all rock til we step on the field.
GH thinking: [Is Rap music?]
GH: Who on the team has impressed you the most so far this year?
