butler crossing deep defense effort few great halftime kept patterns team
It was a great team effort for the Mustangs. You may get (defensive coordinator) Cornel (Thompson) in the first half, but he'll come out at halftime with some adjustments and did tonight. We put Beasley in on defense and kept Butler to just a few crossing patterns and nothing deep after that first score.

backup defense enjoy football kids last played players proud run trying
The point-spread, you know, I don't enjoy that, but I thought our kids played really well. In that last quarter, we had our backup players out there so we weren't trying to run up the score. But I was really proud of our football team, especially our defense in the second-half.
beat couple deal excited good group hard head kids last practices tremendous win
It was a tremendous win for our kids and it's always a big deal around here when we beat Jasper. The kids are so excited about getting things started with a win. They're not really getting the big head about it either. We've had a good couple practices the last two days. This group is not hard to refocus.
both failure football honored life losers players success turn
It's a really big thing for the players to be honored here tonight. There are no losers out of this. Success or failure in football doesn't matter, they're both not permanent. It's what you turn your life into that matters.
