Coach's Quote

"It is kind of weird to open the season against a conference opponent, but we are getting accustomed to the 'weirdness' of this season"

"Like us, West Iredell lost a lot to graduation, and it's tough to grasp a great understanding of what they want to do based off of one scrimmage. They have a good quarterback, who can throw the ball and is elusive if he gets outside the pocket. Their running back is big and strong. Defensively, they love to bring pressure so we have to be good at blitz pickups"

"Our goal Thursday night is to be who we are and do what we do. Our kids have had a great week of preparation and are itching to get on the field for what counts"

-Chris Powell
