Re: Cats Win -- Cats Win -- Cats Win

[Michael and Phyllis Pickens]

I don't think heart is the word to use here.  I think Stokes wants to win as
bad as anyone else. He just doesn't have that something special to will his
team to win.  Logan and Kenyon just had something in them that said my team
needs me and I will do what it takes to win.  I will miss Stokes when he
leaves.  I think he is a very good player.  He is just not your leader or
your go to guy.  I do believe Leonard is one of the few guys on this team
along with Hicks and Max who have heart but they just don't have that winner
mentality.
