He's a little, athletic guy who can make you miss.

This is so much better than them all just sitting out in a parking lot somewhere. There's also everything to do here at Silver Springs.

Darius is important in what we do. He's a special talent, but very humble. He's learning from Chris about work ethic.

We have a lot of young guys battling for those other spots.

We have to establish the run early and play all four quarters. We have to finish strong.

Brad brings a lot to the table that Robby didn't bring, and vice versa. Robby was an excellent athlete for his size. Brad gives you an added dimension.

Our kids are excited, but the faces on both teams have changed dramatically. Our team is looking at this as a chance to open the season against what, on paper, looks to be the best team in the state and one of the best in the nation. With the kind of buzz this game will have, what more could anyone want?

Against a team like that, and against a triple option, just one mistake and it's now a tie game. That was a big stop for us.

It was a big win for us. Our No. 1 goal was to win the first game of the year, and we accomplished that goal.
