Overall, it was night and day from last week. As bad as we were last week, we were good this week. It's just a combination of things. I couldn't be happier over the week.

[In the 911 call Grayston made around 3:40 a.m. that day, he said:] He was going to blow my brains out, ... He wouldn't let go of the gun. He just pulled a gun on me.

We've got to defend the run, defend the Wing-T and put them into long-yardage situations so they have to throw.

We need to build off what we've been doing and clean up our mistakes on offense. I feel we've sort of stopped ourselves in the two ballgames we have lost. The more times we have the ball, the better we can be.

We've got to play a lot better defense than we did in the first game. Obviously, we're facing a team with more speed than South Whidbey. We need to continue to improve, have everybody do their job on defense and keep them in the corral.

They have a lot of quickness. They have some very good backs. They're really explosive, much the same type of team as Sammamish. They run the Wing-T and get outside.
