From The Coaches

"We are blessed to be able to play another week. As a team, we got back on track last week with a win and hope to continue the momentum."

"There is a lot on the line this week: crosstown rival, competing for third place in the conference, possible playoffs. Our message to the guys is to control what you can control (and) focus on us."

"Draughn is well-coached and their boys play tough, it should be a really good game for our fans to come out and watch."

-Derrick Minor

"I've been really proud of how our kids have come together and played over the last couple weeks, rebounding after a couple hard losses have been what we needed."

"East Burke is a tough run team, our success defensively depends on our ability to contain and tackle. We have to get 11 guys to the football and make plays. Offensively, we have to be able to make plays with our dynamic playmakers."

"At the end of the day, it comes down to winning at the line of scrimmage. We have done that the last two weeks and must do it one more time. No matter the outcome, I'm so pleased with these kids and everything they have given this season. Couldn't be blessed to coach a better group."

-Chris Powell
