    Adeajah, we are proud of you. Eagerly waiting for the final. This goes to show the young people of this Territory that hardwork pays off. This barely putting in any effort in whatever you are doing is very disappointing to those of us watching. The work has to be put in daily to make it to the top of the heap.

    Show them, Daej, how to go hard or go home.
