It keeps growing and we keep having to get a bigger tent for them. Anybody can enter but professionals are members of the International Federation of Competitive Eating and the winner gets $1,500.

the four-time Gold Glove winner said. ''The pain was the same as before, but it started to affect my performance. It was mental, too -- it really altered the way I went after balls.

You can't be a winner and be afraid to lose.

You can't be a winner every time. This hill isn't suited to me because it's so flat, and I had trouble with the light. So my main goal after I was sixth in the first run was to defend that position and I'm pretty satisfied that I did that. I wanted to make sure to catch 30 or 40 points.

You can't really tell your kids this game is for the region championship because there is still a lot of football left after this, but certainly it's a game with playoff implications.

It should be a tremendous experience for our kids on the Ottumwa team. Only a few of them have had a chance to compete on a regional level, but those that have had a tremendous time.

It's going to be an unpredictable winner for sure. It's up for grabs.
