Coach's Quote

"We were excited to open the much anticipated season with a win last week, even though we did not play anything close to our best ball."

"This Saturday against Patton, we must do a better job on the offensive side of the ball. We have to start off better and not wait till the second half."

"Defensively, we have to be sound on our responsibilities. (Patton) does a great job of flying to the football so we have to execute our schemes, especially upfront."

"Patton and we are both dealing with a lot of the same issues in numbers and youth. They moved the ball at will last week against Foard and have the ability to make big plays down the field."
