They're really looking forward to playing and getting on the field. This could be a big game for us. It won't clinch the title, but being up two games in the section with two games left would put us in a good situation. They're very excited about it, but they know it's going to be hard work.

We have played at home and it doesn't seem to be a hindrance to us, but it does for the other teams. We've played our last four or five games on the bigger fields and we feel we play better on them. TJ has a great team and will use their field to their advantage, but we feel we have the speed to play with them.

The way everything went down last year was a little awkward for both of us just given the situation and how well the team ended up playing and how far we ended up going. It's one of those situations where the front office makes decisions. I was happy that I was able to finally get a chance to prove my worth as a starter.

This was an important game for us. These are two big points for us with the schedule we have coming up.

Drew averaged about 11 points a game for us this year. He really stepped up tonight and kept us in the game.

(The seniors) each got us six points; a forfeit's six points for the team. I just wish they could have wrestled on Senior Day.
