A couple of Kiwi Gardner notes

From John Rooke's GoLocalProv column:

"...Friar freshman Kiwi Gardner didn't win the slam dunk contest Friday Night at Alumni Hall (sophomore Bryce Cotton did, again)...but I swear he was jumping on a trampoline ..."

and

From Peter Gobis' Sun Chronicle article:

"... Coach wants everybody in the front of the class, sitting up in front is a requirement," related Friar freshman guard Kiwi Gardner of the new academic rules in place for members of the PC basketball team, taking to the floor for the first time under Cooley's eye as a team. "He's on us all the time about that (academics), but it's in our best interests. If you're not here to learn, then you won't learn wherever you go, it's on the kid - you've got no choice, but to do the work, so we might as well get something done ..."

"... "It's a lot of work, but not too bad," said Gardner. "Western Civ, that's my toughest class." Gardner has 8:30 a.m. classes every day so he better be awake ("I didn't get no break that way") and not miss a class because Coach Cooley keeps attendance figures. "We've got no choice," said Gardner. "It gets me up every day, so I'm ready for the day every day ..."
