[His posse of longtime proverb

 [His posse of longtime pals provides another outlet.] They carry on like your classic 'boys will be boys,' ... knows who his friends are.

 I never see any difference in boys. I only know two sorts of boys. Mealy boys and beef-faced boys.
  Charles Dickens

 It's just a very complex problem. One of the things I know about boys is for boys, it's just not cool. It's just not macho to get an education, to speak properly, to be the top of the class. Among our boys, it's just not macho to be that person.

 The boys without a doubt have to turn things around. The boys have been getting fairly well buried on the state level recently. We've had too many gaps that have killed us at the bigger meets. Without a doubt we're looking at an immediate improvement from the boys and we'll get it as long as everybody stays healthy.

 Middle school is a tough age, ... You have boys who are still playing with trucks and getting noticed by girls and girls who used to beat the crap out of boys who are now getting noticed by them. Out here, they're friends who laugh and tease each other and horse around. This is a good group of highly motivated kids.

 In the boys, Jamestown could have five in the top 13. After that, it's a logjam. There's a wider spread of boys from different schools. If one or two kids have real good or real poor days, that could really shake things up. Depth is our strength there. We believe our boys have a good shot at second.

 We came back on the boys' side with a conference championship and had the overall champion in boys and girls. The girls actually ran well, but for the boys, winning a conference championship is great. The kids really wanted it. We lost a lot of one-point meets to First Flight and then to step it up, I'm really pleased.

 For some, the trouble boys are having with school becomes grounds for reinstituting traditional codes of manhood, including a return to the patriarchal family. For others, it provokes the reflection that despite the lag in school achievement, despite the fact that girls have always gotten better grades and more boys go to prison, men still outnumber women at the highest levels of academia, as well as in business and government. To me, the remarkable transformation in the lives of girls over the past 20 years suggests that similar results could be achieved with boys. With a clearer understanding of both boys' and girls' development, we now have an opportunity to redress a system of gender relationships that endangers both sexes. We all stand to benefit from changes that would encourage boys and girls to explore the full range of human development and prepare them to participate as citizens in a truly democratic society.
  Carol Gilligan

 People expect teenage boys to drink. They have not historically expected girls to. Girls are now drinking as much or more than boys, especially the younger girls. They are drinking liquor. The boys are still drinking beer.

 That's a lot for two boys to carry,

 The weak boys got culled out and those boys that survived are hardier on average. They live longer.

 What happened to these two boys was horrible and devastating. I did not know the boys, but it does make you realize things can happen.

 I am just happy we finally put a disciplined game together. The boys did great. I think the boys singing in the background says it all.

 His boys are at that age where they're throwing the football, ... He sees there are the boys out there playing ball, and I'm almost positive that he went, `My dad used to be out there all the time.'

 I'd been used to working with an ensemble of six boys. When it became three girls, three boys, it changed things a little bit. We did a lot of duets as well as solos.
