They've been a big-play team and they showed that with the halfback pass (intercepted by McRae) on the first play. They had scored a ton (and) the defense shut them down and gave us great field position all night.

We're gaining more confidence on offense. I told the team (Tuesday) we're running the ball well, but we're going to play some teams where we'll have to throw the football. Josh (Miller) had his best passing day in practice that he's had all year. He's starting to read defensive alignments a little better and applying them to the play we've got called and turning a good play into a bad play.

It don't get any easier. But we're going to show up and play.

His kids are 3-1 and his biggest concern is getting his kids to take an 0-4 team seriously.

You've got to keep the kids focused. I've been quick to remind them of the feeling after the first four games. And this is a game between two district games (Atlantic last Friday, Menendez next week). And it's homecoming. And North Marion's always been a tough game for us. We've had some real battles with them and they've put some pretty good whippings on us.
