You've got to give them credit. They're a great team. We're going to have to find out about us. This is a very humbling experience. We've got a big district game (against Cypress Lake) coming up and we have to pull together.

Defensively, they really played a solid game all night, and I'm proud of them. I'm real impressed with our defense; did what they said they were going to do: 'Try our best.' Played aggressive football — running to the football, making tackles ... they forced a lot of turnovers in the second half.

It's definitely a good rivalry. We don't have to tell the kids about getting excited, and I think they feel the same way. It's a big game for everybody. It's always real special.

Their next four years are hidden from us, but they are not hidden from you, ... You know the challenges and opportunities they will face. Give them a clear mind, a warm heart, calmness in the midst of turmoil, reassurance in times of discouragement and your presence always.

As things progressed, it seemed like those of us who stayed there the longest were no longer welcome.

Our first game here we could not hit a jump shot. Coach told us to make sure we take the ball to the hole.
