The win was really important for us. Coming off a tough season last year, one of the biggest things we needed for our confidence was a win.

(The rivalry) has changed. It's been a while since Fredericktown beat Clear Fork. Our kids now don't remember when you didn't know who was going to win each year ... but Clear Fork is a big school with great tradition. The kids are excited, there's definitely a rivalry feel to it.

Clear Fork has always been a team that runs the football well and they play really physical. They're not usually going to get fancy, but this Clear Fork team is very athletic and can throw the ball too.

[Whitehall] came out here and showed us some things we need to improve.

[Saturday's] win was a big one for us going into the Fort Edward game. We helped ourselves mentally and we didn't hurt ourselves physically. This is exactly what we needed.

Dave has done a tremendous job of developing a very extensive recruiting network and that has helped us to be successful.
