against district forgotten good lake last occasion people physical rise ruined season storm throw victory week
We need a little payback for Storm Lake last year. They kind of ruined our season and we haven't forgotten that. We want to show people we can play well against them. They're a very good team, a very physical team. They like to throw a lot, so it's going to give us a different set of problems. We want to rise to the occasion and come back with a victory in week two (of district play).
challenge district easy knew philosophy prepare progress realize start teams unless
I knew it had been awhile, but I didn't realize it was that long. Our philosophy is a little different. We don't start with an easy schedule. We try and get teams that will really challenge us and really prepare us well for district play. You do that and you're going to take your lumps, but you're going to be better. You just don't progress unless you play the best.

It was like David and Goliath out there. They were huge and big and we tried to run the ball and we couldn't. We couldn't establish anything. We couldn't throw the ball because they were playing a 4-3 with a Cover-2. so it was very difficult to move the ball on them.

We challenged them in the second half and said if we're going to win the ballgame, it's going to be up front. Those kids really came through for us, ... I'm very excited. There's not too many seasons I start out feeling that great about our line and the way we're playing, but I think they're even going to get better.

They were playing Cover-2 and the corner was up a little bit tight and the safety never came over. It was an excellent throw and Caleb takes it in for a touchdown. Now we're down one touchdown and we're feeling pretty good about ourselves.
