I thought Coach Wood would hang on another five or six years. He has a great program going there. I'm more surprised he's retiring than myself.

It hurt us with him going down. That's a lot of points. We've been telling (Walker) to shoot the ball all year. Tyler's a shooter too and a great player. He's worked hard this year so I'm glad he had a great game.

He worked really hard for us tonight.

We won the third quarter, that was big for us. We went into the fourth quarter feeling good and we had an opportunity. I'll say this about the West kids: Their defense tonight was the difference. They took away things we wanted to do and they played outstanding D.

I thought we came out a little flat. Wood scored the first goal, but we started to play better after that. I thought we took the match over in the second half and played like we could.

I said going into the ballgame that I thought there was a little bit of an advantage in having a senior quarterback. He gave me a scare .. and I told him to never do it again.
