We've got a busy week. We need to be more consistent, especially at the start of the game. We can't afford to fall behind early like we have done.

We were concerned especially with homecoming week and everything. Defensively, we played a great game.

This was a good start to the week. Wouldn't it have been terrible to come off this game 0-1 [in district] and then have to play Waco on Saturday? It's still going to be a challenge, but at least you go into it feeling good about yourself.

He makes everyone better, but he's especially good for me. He's been our most consistent player. ... You always want him on the ball. He's going to make things happen.

We had a lot of improvement on all three relays from last week. We're starting to come together, starting to make headway in all of our field events.

My whole game hasn't been sharp this year, but this week it was. I had a very good ball-striking week.
