In the second half, with the exception of the one touchdown, we controlled the defensive side of the ball against the seventh-ranked team in 3A. We kept feeling if we got one big play we'd turn the game around.

We were not mentally prepared for this one. (The coaches) saw it prior to the game. Things were not business.

It's tough with all the new faces, but it's great to see them all out there. The coaching staff meets every day after practice to talk about depth charts. We have four full teams on offense and four on defense.

The kids are coming out in droves. We haven't seen that here in years.

Hollingsworth supposedly sees the building as unsafe. The Vestry is also aware that Cleveland Clinic wants the property for their own expansion. The sale would benefit the diocese. This priest urged the Vestry to go public. They seem reluctant to do so. The parish is current on all assessments. While very small, the parish has a rooted history in the diocese and serves the poorest of the community in outreach. The parish was combined from two parishes to one community several years ago. Clark Grew treated the parish with great love and care. Hollingsworth is very unpredictable and seems to be offering solutions to a problem the vestry does not see as existing. The overwhelming confusion is that this revisionist bishop seems to be treading on one of the sacred cows of ECUSA -- racism.

They started alright but a couple of the baton changes could have been better. We have to keep working before making a final call on the final four.
