I am surprised they left us in a six-team district with four teams in the playoffs. I'm pleased too, because I've got a good schedule.

We planned to have six teams with 13 players on a team.

If a situation is tight, if we're comparing six to eight teams, and two of those six to eight teams have put together a schedule with rigor, and they've been balanced in terms of playing games both home and away from home, the tiebreaker in that kind of situation is going to go with the teams that have scheduled and have challenged themselves.

San Angelo really came out there motivated. Their kids played really physical. Our kids never panicked. We kind of had to hunt and peck until we found something which worked.

You can't come into a game unemotional and I think we did that. That shows some growth because some of these experiences we're going through are going to help us come district.

The way it stayed there were several positives. The travel issue is always a big factor out here so that was something to think about. I think (the UIL) had some sympathy for our situation.
