Somebody gave me that buckeye today, and I put it my pocket for good luck.

He finished the season playing in the state championship game on Saturday and then had surgery on Tuesday. His rehab is going extremely well. He is a special player.

Overall, we lost 12 seniors that will play in college somewhere. But we've got 13 kids back who started at one time or another, and I think we've got another good club.

We had been asked to participate in a couple other national-type games, but they had not come to fruition for one reason or another. The difference with this game was that the guys behind it put in their full force to get it done.

Pat said to just keep doing what we're doing. We're still a good football team.

We are going to work hard and try to improve some things on both side of the ball. Mainly we have to get back to playing Colerain football.
