We knew our defense would be a strong point but I don't know if we thought they would play that well. We have so many kids back who have been through so much. They have the experience to recognize what's going on and anticipate the play.

I give West Canada Valley a lot of credit. They did some things on defense that took us out of what we wanted to do offensively. They came out and played with intensity and by the end of the first quarter we knew we were in a game.

I'm very pleased. I don't remember when we have come out the first week and looked as sharp as we did today.

They gave us a lot of different looks and spread us out. The no-huddle offense that they opened the game up with did not bother us all that much because we run a little no-huddle offense ourselves, I think it was just more of a case that they were ready to go at the start of the game. They had a good game plan and took advantage of some early mistakes.

The turning point was not letting them score again before halftime. It could have been 21-14. Instead, we knew we were getting the ball back (to start the second half) with a 21-7 lead. That was a key.

163

It's good to know that when we need to run the ball between the tackles we can. They were putting seven and eight guys in the box, but we still were able to power the ball and we know that, that will always be there for us.

149

We only ran 15 plays offensive plays in the first half and we just didn't get in synch. We were too anxious to get on the ball. We made our adjustments at halftime and we came out we were able to move the ball.

Brandon Dunn is a tremendous athlete and their entire team should be proud of the way they played. They played us tough and I give them a lot of credit because we were not able to do some of the things that we wanted to do.

I think this win says last year wasn't a fluke.
