00:00 >> Coach, we just reported that Kaisa Beers was put on scholarship.

00:04 Can you confirm that?

00:05 And then how did that decision come to be made by your staff?

00:07 >> Yeah, I didn't realize that was out, but yeah,

00:09 it was one of those deals where you have 13 scholarships.

00:14 And you've got an open one, nobody filled it.

00:18 And we wanted to make sure nobody filled it at the break,

00:21 kinda like they haven't did last year.

00:24 And then we looked at Max, Max has been here longer.

00:29 And when we gave it to Max, Max is on a really good academic scholarship.

00:35 So Kai needed it a little bit more than Max.

00:38 So we kinda sat the two of them down and discussed it.

00:40 And let Kai know that we were gonna give it to him.

00:46 I'm super happy for him, he's a great kid.
