We really figured out where we were as a team coming after the CM game. Our special teams were solid and we had two great kickoff returns. Defensively we played well against some quality athletes. And they were as big a team as we're going to see.

They are very athletic. They've got a good team. They had a special teams blunder that cost them the game against Ripley.

I think we have the makings of a special team. But there are so many teams in our league that are better than we are, I believe, at this particular point that we've got a lot of work to do. But if we continue to work hard, this team could be an NCAA team, but we're so far from that right now.

Those are the kind of teams I've always been around. Scrappy guys who like to train hard, put the team first and have an intense desire to succeed. So the superstar thing kind of goes out the window.

We got the game plan in. All we are doing is polishing it and working on special teams. We had a little scrimmage with the underclassmen and it was a good day. We'll give them a few more plays tomorrow. It was a good day, a good practice, but it was a little wet.

It's a great foundation. Financially, we're on solid ground, and the teams love coming here.
