These kids have invested a ton in getting ready for this football season, so they worked real hard at getting back.

I'm proud of our kids. They've got a lot of guts and a lot of heart. We need a little bit more discipline. The penalties, again, hurt us big time.

Man, they're a real fun bunch of kids to be around. Our side [of the bleachers] was packed.

Our doctors are very conservative people and that's why I like these guys. They're not going to let kids go and play if they will be unsafe.

It's fantastic for the school and the kids and the community. It's a really neat feeling -- all the enthusiasm around this -- and that's exciting to me.

I love football and have a passion to help kids learn and see them grow and develop. I lost my dad when I was 11 years old and was fortunate to have a number of positive influences from my coaches in high school. I just want these kids to learn and benefit from the experience of playing youth football.
