Their athletes are a little faster than our athletes. I don't think their kids gave any more effort than our kids. Darius is our speed, and when he went out, we didn't have that capability.

That's a group that really has to grow up in a hurry. But they have the potential to be good.

We've got to keep him healthy. Brandon Brothers is our backup fullback. Brandon's tough, and he'll run over some people. But we really need Brandon on defense.

Darius is stocky. And he's not an ordinary fullback because he can run right by you.

A chance is all you can ask for, and we do have a chance to be pretty good. But we've gotta stay healthy.

I thought that would be a little momentum shifter. It just wasn't meant to be.

West's got a good football team. They're gonna go very far.

You're not going to take a chance. We need him for 10 more weeks, not just tonight. He wanted to come in, and that's the kind of competitor he is.

If we don't make mistakes, sure, maybe we win the ballgame. But the biggest thing is we challenged our kids to get better than they were last week and they responded. Kannapolis has a very good football team, but we had a real chance.
