From The Coach:

"We are thankful and blessed to be able to play another week. As a staff, we were very pleased with the way our guys played last week, especially with all the changes that took place. For us, this will be our first 'normal' week after playing a Thursday game and a Saturday game"

"Bunker Hill is a very good football team, Coach (Patrick) Clark and his staff have done a phenomenal job over the last couple of years getting that program turned around (and) this year is no different. They are very athletic and have a lot of play makers on both sides of the ball"

"Our keys to victory this week are pretty simple: execute in all three phases of the game, be sound in our assignments, and win the game in the trenches on both sides of the ball. If we do that, we feel we can be successful Friday night"

From The Coach:

"Patton is a better team than their record shows, they played a close game early on with Draughn. Their kids play hard and we have to be ready. I respect Coach (Mark) Duncan and he's trying to build a program the right way.

The key for us is to play our game, execute on offense and play disciplined on defense and win on special teams. Our guys are continuing to learn how to do things the right way. Every game is the most important game of the season and we have to continue believing in the hard work that got us to this point and continue the momentum we have"
