The kids showed tremendous character. They could have fallen apart after that turn of events. But they came right back. They showed great character and mental toughness.

They did what they had to do and they had the athletes to do it. We didn't have an answer offensively tonight.

They ran the ball pretty effectively against us in the second half. But still our defense came up big a couple of times.

I'm proud of the kids. We came out and played hard and kind of took Petoskey out of the game early tonight.

They have a great passing attack. They run the spread offense and they run it well. They didn't take a snap under center the entire night.

We didn't want to give up any big plays to some of their big-play kids. Our defense played very well tonight.

Give credit to our kids in the first half. We spotted them 14 points and they didn't fold up at all.

Our focus was putting four quarters together. We came pretty close.

Grandville's an outstanding football team. In my opinion, they're probably the toughest team we'll face in the regular season.
