In high school, it's a critical position. A bad snap is worth 50 yards of field position.

It was a rough game. They have good athletes, they are physical. We had our hands full, no question about it. But our defense won this game.

Another big thing that made a difference was we have a lot of seniors and we were able to hold onto our composure.

Experience at that position is vital. With nine games under his belt, and the leadership he's shown, he is a big key to leading the front seven.

He's a very physical kid and is one of our toughest kids, especially on the pass rush side of things.

He's 100 percent now. He went to conditioning classes and you'd never know he was injured at all.
