They came out in things we weren't ready for. We knew they could pass, but they came out and they spread us out. ... But our kids adjusted. They never said die and played great football.

It was close, ... They were on the 1-foot-line. They just kept hanging in.

I know I've had a lot of great coaches and a lot of great kids, ... It didn't come overnight. The key thing to our success in Walton is the program we have. We work on it all the way up through. The same system is taught all the way up. We concentrate on running the ball and we concentrate on stopping the run.

Some of those guys played two or three years, ... We average about four or five guys on offense back a year. You have to pick it up and move on. Hopefully our program can replace them.

149

We have some young guys coming up for us, ... That's one thing we never seem to lose at Walton. Some teams have good quarterbacks or wide receivers. We've been blessed with good dive backs and good-sized fullbacks. I don't know where they keep coming from, but I'm not going to knock it.

We're very happy with our offensive line, ... It's very big. Even with the two tight ends in, we're close to 250 pounds per man and they come off the ball well.

113

Defensively from last year we have four back and as far as points allowed, I think we were in the top three of the section.

111

I can't imagine Walton going through a year without playing Delhi, ... I was comparing our schedule to last year and I think our schedule is tougher this year and we're D. ... That's one thing when we decided to go D, I asked (Delhi coach and Section Four coordinator) Dave Kelly if we could still play Sidney, Unatego and Delhi, and he said they could arrange it.

106

Last year was an exception because we don't usually have a running back gain 1,000 or 1,200 yards like Wisey did, ... Usually we're more balanced. Anytime you gave Wisey the ball, he could break it. We're going to miss him. But you can't harp on it. He gave us two good years, but we have to move on.
