That's something that's hurt us a lot, ... Not to make excuses, but when you don't have the guys who have worked back there all season long it's going to hurt you. Some of those guys will be back, but again, we don't know exactly when it will be. It's a case by case deal.

We did pretty well. We moved the ball against Jenks and we moved the ball against Westmoore. It gave us a little bit of the scenario for what Friday night will be like. It was good for us. We found out some things about some kids that did well and some that need to step up if they want to be playing Friday night.

We had four turnovers last week, ... That's not going to put you in a position to win. We've had a lot of penalties off and on this year. We need to cut down on all of those things. You can't win doing that and our kids know that. We just have to keep on working.

Our players will be ready to go out there and compete, ... We always tell them you can't change the past, you can change the future. And that's what this is all about. If we go out there and win this game nobody is going to remember that we lost the first three.

Bradley has done a good job and he's earned the right to play, ... That doesn't mean there's not competition there. We'd like to get Pete Towne some time too.

It's important to learn what works for you so at the end of the vacation you really do feel like you had a break from your work.

We’re not asking you to censor anything, ... We’re not asking you to take the book out of the library.

The women use their vacation more because, I think, they feel more responsible for taking care of their families, so their spouses and their children affect their decisions about vacation, whereas the men are more purely focused on work.

It's one of the three that prepares us for district. They're one of the best teams in the state of Oklahoma. It's neat to see how you measure up. I don't know anybody that goes out thinking hey this game doesn't matter. But if we win this game and the next two it still doesn't get us into the playoffs which is one of our goals. We have to see if we can pass the test. We'll find out Friday night.
