We had the old deer in headlights look in the first half. Traverse City really poured it on early. We've never seen a team come out that intense.

like a deer in the headlights.

Let me tell you something. That first game, they're going to be like a deer (in headlights), no matter what you do or how you calm them down. I remember the same way myself when I played. You can talk about it all you want to, but when you run out of that gate and that crowd starts yelling, it ain't high school any more, It's a whole different deal.

The place exploded. And we kind of got that deer in the headlights look.

We need him to score. (The team) feeds off that. If he doesn't score, they are like deer in headlights.

We were like a deer in the headlights last year. I didn't want our guys coming out and hyping this game. It was a game we had to win, but the big game is the district final.
