I was just planning on making a big play. I was just out there playing football and we needed a spark.

We want to play football. We have an obligation to everyone, particularly our fans. My gut is we're going to come up with something, but it's still up in the air. It's going to be long and drawn out and tough.

It's not easy. It's definitely not easy. But if you want to play, and play up to the level you're expected to play at and want to play at, you have to get about your business.

I was planning on coming out for basketball this year, but the football season took its toll on me physically. I needed to rest and rehabilitate some injuries. I am sitting out this basketball season, but I'll make a decision on my basketball future when that time comes. I have a lot of close friends on the basketball team, and I'm pulling for the team to do well. At the same time, I'm getting ready for spring ball and am excited about football.

We've been dealing with concerns and addressing everything we can through the emergency services planning process.

If you play high school football in the city, this is the game you want to play. We're looking forward to it. It should be an electric atmosphere. It's the way all high school football games should be.
