I think that's a lot to do with training camp. And our whole offense and our whole defense and special teams are in, so we didn't have to go back and put all that in.

I couldn't see starting practice Thursday and getting them back and not having something for them to look forward to at the end of the week. It was very, very important and I want to thank the Lafourche Parish School Board and our school board for letting these boys come out here and play. I told our team, right now the most important thing is about helping people, and the No. 1 thing we can do is, for a couple of hours on a Sunday afternoon, people can come out and watch the Hahnville Tigers and forget about everything else that's going on back in St. Charles Parish.

It's going to be tough because we're not in school. Obviously, I wish we were back in school, back to our routine. I think East St. John is going to school so I think that definitely gives them an advantage.

Our team really picked up the defense. We played a lot better defense and got some easy hoops.

Long Beach State just kept hanging around, even though we were dominating. We played very good defense and didn't turn the ball over as much as we did against them last weekend.

The ability of a defense to dominate and stop the run forces you into a one-dimensional game. You come out wanting to play ball control, field position, but by the second quarter, you're down by 17 and you're forced to throw.
