The defense is looking good. We have some new guys coming in and they're progressing daily with their tackling and techniques.

Jamie is all about defense. I think Maggie is starting to develop that same feeling because you can see her team play tougher, hard-nosed defense every game.

Neither team really executed well tonight, but both sides played good defense. We just didn't execute well and it seemed like we got out of sync with doing the things we've done up to this point. I think some of that was nerves tonight.

We were able to close the door with our defense when we needed.

It will start out mostly as rain, end up as snow at the tail end of it.

The first game is always interesting. We're going to find out a lot about where our team is. As for Fair Haven, I know they have improved from last year. We're not taking anything for granted.
