That was disheartening. We did prove we could do it without everybody out there.

It's just tough when you're playing a team like Bethany that has all 11 of their kids playing at a high level. We're going to get there, it's just going to be a matter of time.

Aaron is going to help us a lot. He's an aggressive kind of guy. He's a young player, but at the same time, he'll always give you 100 percent.

We came out feeling that we were really improved.

The kids have really been getting after it in practice. They are really looking forward to Friday.

I think it's important that you go out and win every game. This game is just as important as the rest. It's not a district game, but psychologically you want to go out and play good football. This game could really help the winner.
