I felt real good. In the second half, I really started feeling like myself again. I had a lot of confidence. I can say I was 100 percent, to tell you the truth.

The good thing is I don't think there's anything this league can dish out that I haven't seen before. I'll be well prepared. I prepare every game like I'm going to start. If they need me to go in there, I'll be ready to go in there and help the team win.

In the second half, we went the other way from where we had been going and Murphy did a good job. The offensive line did a good job, especially considering that most of our kids play both ways. Most of Ashland's linemen play (either exclusively offense or defense).
