I'm sure the communities may feel that way. I have heard some about the rivalry. But I'm looking at it like we're trying to win another district football game.

It's always a good, clean rivalry. It's something we always look forward to.

For it to be a rivalry, you have to be able to beat them so we haven't done our part.

A rivalry is a rivalry. I don't care when you play it.

Schulenburg seems heads and shoulders above everybody else. They're 6-0 and they've put up a lot of points. But it's going to take the rest of the four weeks to sort everything out.

We're pretty fortunate at this point. We've made very few mistakes. We're not a wide-open, spread-out offense. We're trying to control the ball with high-percentage plays and move the ball down the field.
