I think we can challenge for the championship. There are a lot of great teams in the conference. We've got four weeks left and we're right in the thick of it.

It's tough, but I knew what I was getting myself into before I took the challenge. I'm happy that I didn't back down from the challenge of trying to chase my dreams and goals.

I invite competition. I enjoy a good competitive encounter. I enjoy the challenge and watching it unfold. I dig deeper and I challenge our people to dig deeper. I pay attention to when my people need support and coaching. I was always competitive. I'm not competitive about sports, but I'm competitive intellectually. My competition is me, I always try to be better.

It's going to be a strong challenge, but I think we have the talent to beat anybody. We lost to them last year, and this is about getting back at 'em.

In the end, Mansfield Senior just sounded the best. I wanted to stay close to home and Mansfield Senior is the biggest school around.

Alvin is a great back and he was the established guy. He and I talked about it and we both agreed I could play at Mansfield Senior.
