I hope we're ready to play right from the start. I've heard they're big. It's a big game.

I hope we can take advantage of our speed. We also had a very good summer off-season turnout.

I sure hope we're peaking at the right time. We've got to come out Friday and play as well as we did tonight. We can't step back. We've got to play hard the whole time.

Charles City played a great game against Osage Tuesday. We played much better Friday and hope to play even better as the season goes on.

They can run and throw. Their defense has given up yardage, but they still have the Ws.

I'm looking for seniors to step up and lead this team. We're young and leadership is important.
