We have a lot of kids with similar size and quickness, and overall we're pretty athletic. With that combination, we match up pretty well with most teams.

This is a tough loss because the kids wanted it so bad. We actually had them on the ropes a couple times in the first half but couldn't keep the turnovers down. It's a fine line ? you don't want them tentative and you don't want them throwing the ball away. I'm still real proud of how we played, a lot of desire and heart.

The kids are excited and we're getting a ton of fan support. We're all smiles today.

The kids really jumped ahead at the start of the third quarter and that helped us control things a little.

We're pretty kid-friendly. With the pure kids' shows, all the songs are up-tempo. We keep it moving.

We think our football program is in pretty good shape. We have good facilities, good equipment and good kids in the program. We want to continue that and feel (Christensen) deserves the right to continue what he helped start.
