The kids all know each other, and it's a very competitive game. There's no doubt the winner of this game has the upper hand in district. It's a big game, no doubt.

Is it significant? I don't know. I doubt if they coordinated their activities. It does show that while Jim Black has to deal with these burgeoning investigations, it makes him less able to deal with other things. People may sense opportunity.

I had no doubt these kids would bounce back. They're a gritty bunch who just love to play the game.

Our seniors are very good leaders so far and we have a very good chemistry as a team. We are hoping our young guys will mature quick and we end up with a quality football team.

Tough non-district competition is what we need to play better and become more focused. When you dress out only 7 seniors, you've got to be ready to step up to the plate, regardless of the opposition.

He's a three year starter for us who knows how and when to make crucial tackles throughout the game.
