They both had outstanding games on offense and defense. In order to share the conference championship with Charleroi, we had to beat them that night.

He's probably the strongest kid we've ever had in the weight room.

Robert made some big decisions in that game and we only won, 13-12. He really matured into a quarterback and could really read the defenses.

Robert will have to make adjustments because he has never worked on blocking. He was a quarterback and is quite familiar with pass routes. He has decent hands. Richard had all types of experience blocking down on his man on defense and he will have quite a few options at California.

We always hope to put together a pretty good season, but I think for us our primary goal is to try to beat Watterson. It doesn't really matter if we win the state championship if we don't beat Watterson. That's kind of the way it's become.

We've got a pretty good running back and he's going to do some good things. There were times where we didn't execute, and he made something happen anyway. Hat's off to Chris Thomas.

(Moore) has an unbelievably tough job because he's an inside linebacker, so he's in on almost every play, and he's played a lot at fullback so he's taken a beating there. He's been quietly plugging away, but he's also a difference-maker. He's made big plays every game on both sides of the ball. He's extremely fast, and just a great football player.

They run a 50 defense and pretty much an I-formation offense. They're very physical, a large (Division II team). We've got our work cut out for us.

Last year, our pitching wasn't as strong. Our fielding and hitting have improved.
