We thought Clanton could play one on one against any of our guys and win that battle. We wanted to make him always play against one guy with another guy ready to come at him if we needed to.

I know they thought they were, ... We play against fast guys every week, and we didn't go into the game thinking they were faster than us. You can't do that, otherwise you'll be starting from behind before the game even starts.

I think we're pretty confident now. We played last week in a scrimmage and we didn't play like we thought we should. I think we played a lot more like we should today.

There were a couple things that we tried. They played good defense and took a few things away from us.

It was a physical game, kind of what we're use to playing in Cincinnati.

We've had some very close games at Purcell (Marian) and Alter. I think in a good way they are not worrying about the (state) poll. They are worrying about how many games we have in a row, as well as our league.
