Both teams were playing hard. As a defensive coordinator, it was a good high school football game.

He steps into that situation understanding offense, understanding defense, understanding players. Another thing is ... he understands the unique coaching requirements of single-A.

He was tired and we thought it was too far. We're just going to have to go for it.

I felt that we could stop them (in overtime). I really wanted to put it in the hands of our defense.

In camp we watched him and felt he was a good football player and he just gets better and better.

It's great to score first. It's momentum builder, it puts them down. That's what high school football is, a game of momentum.
