The Knights are very good at conserving their energy. I'm not saying they're not trying out there, but they pick their spots when to go and when to hold back. When you have horses like they do, you want to play those guys as much as you can.

There are definitely high expectations of him, he is saying the right thing, trying to please everybody. But the proof is in the pudding.

I'm not sure they're at our level, and I'm saying that because of what we had. They've got Chad and they've got Rudi. We had Eddie Brown, Tim McGee, Rodney Holman and Cris to stretch the defense. Then I could go into the slot and go downfield. Here, I'm not sure they've got that type of receiver out of backfield to get downfield because I ran routes just like a receiver.

I don't know if it was the holiday blues or what. We had no energy in the fourth quarter, which is totally out of character for us. That didn't look like the Bastrop Lady Rams out there. Offensively or defensively, we didn't play the way we are capable of playing ball. That's the reason we lost the game.

What we're saying is it's too close to call. There were a handful of tickets left, and we're trying to figure out where they were, if they were singles. Obviously, the computations, we want to make sure we're accurate. There were a handful of seats here and there.

We came into the game saying we're still the champions. We're just trying to carry on the tradition.
