I am more concerned than ever.

It's like a relief. It's a way for 60 minutes to get your mind off stuff that's going on. In a way, I think it's kind of good for all the people in Louisiana and Mississippi and Alabama who went through the hurricane.

I feel like we have to go out and earn respect, and the only way to do that is go out and play hard for four quarters and win.

It says a lot for the boys. They're not taking anything for granted and they're wrestling every match like it's their last match. They're going out there and dominating and we're going to step it up here the next couple weeks.

I'd like to have a situation where Coach Chavis and Coach Slade say I want you to be on the best receiver and lock him down, stay on him the whole game, don't let him touch the ball, smother him.

Right now the only thing that will beat us is ourselves.

We're starting the 2006 part of the season in dominating fashion and that's good.

Last game, and this, we've been eaten up by penalties. Don't blame the boys. It's basically coaching.

We're improving. And the good thing about this is that we haven't reached our potential yet as an overall team. In certain tournaments we have guys that do well and some that falter. But when we get everyone clicking together, which is the sectional, district and state, then we're going to be turning some heads.
