This is just to get the kids ready to play. It's not about the score of the games. We want the boys to learn what they can from this. It helps the coaches see where we're at and what we need to be working on.

The kids are ready for this one. Games like this are what you play for. It's the same old Stanhope. They've got a good running game. They can throw it when they need to and they play good defense. Our guys know what to expect and what it will take to win.

The big deal is that kids can come here and play video games together. They aren't at home, sitting in front of the TV alone. It's fun and social here.

Like I told our kids, these first few weeks are like NFL preseason games. They have prepared us to play our district schedule. Next week, we'll start playing some people that are our size.

It's definitely a lot quicker. The kids have to learn to keep their sticks down. You have to have a lot of anticipation.
