Abington is a really good team. Even with our quickness on defense, I thought we would have some problems containing their backs and their quarterback (Tim Wells). That kid is as good a quarterback as we're likely to see all year.

I thought we really stepped up in the fourth quarter on defense, otherwise we struggled the other three quarters. Offensively I was very pleased with what the boys did. They just seem to step up when they need to and that is something we've been doing all season. This was a good team win and I'm proud of them.

The thing I like about Martin's play was his defense. I thought with his four steals and his very good defense, particularly in that stretch where we went on that late run, was very important. Martin is a pleasing guy and he wants to please everybody. He had people here and he's from here and my guess is he pleased them all.

Foote is a very interesting kid. His idea of fun on a Saturday is digging a ditch, cutting down trees and splitting wood. He's a quiet kid, but we have to be careful with him at practice because he'll hurt himself with his conditioning. He's a team leader.

The SCC is as competitive as ever and all I am really looking for is improvement from last years three wins.

In the first half, my plan was to throw the ball quite a bit more, but at halftime all the kids and the staff felt that we could run the ball on these guys and eat clock and not let their quarterback, (Timothy) Wells, back on the field.
