I think they're doing well. Kids are typically resilient.

That type of players needs to make plays and he did.

To make the move and have that kind of an impact is a great thing for us. He had a great season. He's one of those kids that plays a lot quicker than his size.

He was our best lineman all year long. I think he had a great senior season. He was the leader of our front five and being named to the first team is a great way for him to go out.

To watch someone that is basically 5-foot-7 go out and have that kind of year at the 5A level is quite an accomplishment in my opinion.

Looking at the numbers he had a great year. It was a really good deal for him.

You could have made a case for him as newcomer of the year if we had had one of those. I thought he deserved to be on first team looking at the numbers and the type of year he had.

What he was able to accomplish in one season is a sign of how talented he is. He is going to be one of those guys who goes to the next level and continues to improve.

People challenged him and he stepped up to the challenge. He solidified himself as one of the best corners in the area.
