I like to run a lot of backs, ... and we've got a lot of kids that are capable of running the football.

Our kids feel comfortable running on this track. They're more accustomed to running on tracks that aren't banked. They feel like they're at home, so it's just great for all of the area teams around here.

At first, I tried to ignore him, and then I see more and more kids going over there playing, running up and down their driveway, and I said, 'Hey, something's got to be done.

Honestly, I think we've got four really good running backs. (The freshmen) are great kids and smart kids. Both have done a nice job picking up the offense.

I am not really sure what to expect from our kids. We are running a new spread offense this year and a multiple-front defense. It will be a learning experience for us all. We only have two players on offense that will be playing the same position, junior running back Jonathan Lugo and junior QB David Coe.

I'm proud of Richie for coming up here and running like he did. I wish he could have won it, to be honest, but you've got to do your best every time.
