Ryle was picked to win the district. They're very disciplined and sound on both sides of the football.

Duran's a playmaker. He's a super athlete with a lot of talent. We have a lot of other talented guys, and Conner decided to take them away and blitz a lot, so Duran had room to make plays. He makes great decisions, and he's a total player from top to bottom.

We have a good scheme. We're causing some people problems. They've been the focus while our offense gets more experience.

It was a huge win for our program and our players.

Sharks are as tough as those football fans who take their shirts off during games in Chicago in January, only more intelligent.

We played some really good football in the first half. For the last 20 minutes, it was like the siege of the Alamo, but we defended really well.
