felt good happened nicer talked win winning year
I felt like he was going to win it. It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. He's talked about winning it all year long and I like to see good things happen to good people.
athletics difference great overall passes
He's a great athlete. I thought his passes sputtered a little bit, but you know, overall he's a difference maker.
backs ball bunch firing good great juniors playing starting
I think our young linemen are getting better every week. We have a bunch of sophomores and juniors playing in there. They're starting to get off the ball a little bit. Our little backs are firing in the hole. Garrett did a good job; Earl (Thomas) did a great job, and also Kendrick Leblanc.
biggest group honor opportunity peers selected
This has to be the biggest honor I've ever had the opportunity to receive. To be selected by a group of your peers makes it that much more special.
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.
ahead coaches consensus gives inside less minutes turning worry
It was the consensus of the coaches to go ahead and go with the 7 p.m. start. It gives us 30 less minutes to worry about our stomachs turning inside out.
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.
district league might rough work
We have a mega-school powerhouse district. We're used to being in a 4A league that was rough like that. I thought we might be in a five-team district but it didn't work out that way.
battle both came hard kids playing practice road
We have 23 people. Our kids are playing both ways, so it's a battle of the numbers. We're working hard in practice and just came away with two big road wins.
whatever
We want to do whatever we can to help.
adjusted equipment far faster gets good haul meal planning ready seems stuff
To get in there and get it done faster seems to be a better option. It gets a little dicey as far as planning things like the pre-game meal and getting all the equipment and stuff ready to haul but I really think it will be a good thing once everyone gets adjusted to it.
