We go from the No. 2 team in the state to the No. 1. What can you do? You just have to keep fighting and keep trying to get better. We just have to keep believing and try to make something happen.

Coach said to throw it as hard as I could, ... I didn't even see it, I was eating grass.

I keep telling our guys we need to find a way to make it to the playoffs and then you never know what can happen.

At the beginning of the year, our district looked like an insurmountable task. Now, the way we're playing in these games, we've had a chance to win them.

It's just one tough one right after another. But when you go head to head with the top teams in the state and are a play away from winning, that's not a fluke. We played with (St. X) and had our chances. Hopefully we'll take that into this week -- but this week finish.

Athletically, Manual is big, they're deep and they're fast. They have the whole package. We just went through three in a row that nobody wants to go through.

The biggest thing about them is not only are they talented, but they're talented and deep.

Manual had us out of sorts early on. I don't want to take anything away from Manual, but you can't give them cheap ones like we did. We gave up three big scores that you are not going to get back in a big game.

We needed a big play. I threw it up, David go under it touchdown!
