I've been around high school football in the state of Alabama for 25 years, and I've never seen as much emphasis on one game as this one.

Football is like life and I know life.

It's great to score first. It's momentum builder, it puts them down. That's what high school football is, a game of momentum.

I think we'll find ways to win. I think we'll be a typical high school football team. That may not be good enough by Skyline standards, but we'll find out.

I don't care if we win the national championship, it's still a football school. It's the state of Florida, this ain't up north.

I felt we were the Oakland Raiders of high-school football.
