We will continue to be aggressive. We have to be. We don't have a lot of size. That's kind of our style and our philosophy with Coach (Ward) Weidenbach. We have gap control and we get after people. We don't have the luxury of being able to slug with people. We need good technique and getting 11 guys to the ball.

The competition is pretty stiff the next few weeks. The kids are working hard this week. You want to show well and be heading into league on a positive, no matter what happens on the scoreboard.

They'll be tough. They've got a lot of guys back from last year. I hope we're a little tougher competition than they've faced.

They're the kind of team that will grind you in the ground.

If we play well and get into the fourth quarter, you never know what happens. All the pressure is on Friday Harbor. They're expected to win.

They have a new head coach and they've switched styles offensively. They run about 70 percent shotgun. Against a shotgun team we'll have to improve our technique.

We've got some young guys who have worked hard who need to step up. It's time. We've got a good group of sophomores, and going to find out on Friday if they have (stepped up).

We have some things we need to work on, but overall we're pretty happy. Forks is another big team, and quite a bit better than last year.

It's a gross mismanagement and a gross lack of priorities.
