The players in this program are just amazing people. Now, we've got to continue to go out and play and believe in one another. |
The tight end is the point guard is the play and Jason has done a fantastic job. |
The township did a study of its own prior to opening station 2. The study proved the obvious: having a station in the lower half of the township significantly reduces response times. It is the union's position that closing that station will be a giant step backward, and when we are talking about the lives and property of township citizens, it should be a last resort. |
They had people fit in the right spots. They did a nice job of game planning the run against us. They were going to make sure our quarterback and our receivers were going to beat them today and our quarterback and receivers did. |
This whole thing came on when I was 37. Up to there I lived a normal life. |
Upper Arlington is the real deal. They have a strong offense. They're only getting better as the season goes on. They're coming off a win against Thomas Worthington, which is supposed to be much-improved, and they blew them out. We know that they are going to come into this game with a lot of confidence. They lost to us the last two years in a row, and I know that they are going to be highly motivated. |
We are definitely younger in that position than anywhere else on the team. But the way they have been practicing, this will be a strength for us, along with attack. |
We felt Brandon would have some opportunities in this game. He needed to take advantage of them and he did. He's been playing at a high level and he's been a tremendous spark in every football game we've played. |
We're going into this game thinking worst-case scenario that Christen doesn't play. We go into the week like every week preparing our kids the best we can for whoever is on the field. I'd like to think that we're not a one-man team. There are a lot of people out there who do think that Hilliard Davidson will go as Christen Haywood goes, but our kids have a lot of pride and they'll do a good job in preparing themselves no matter who's playing. |
We're trying to stretch the defense and get them to run (laterally), |
We're young, with not much varsity experience and not very deep, so I have to be realistic but we've given good effort, which is where you always want to start. |
We've run that play, some version of it, close to 40 times this year, |
What I hope to change, and what I believe will happen, is the execution will be better one extra year into what we're trying to get achieved. That should be significant. We do have a solid foundation, but when you implement a new offense, particularly one that is as intricate and complicated as the West Coast offense, it takes time. You will see tremendous strides and progress from year one to year two. |
When I got off work, I drove by and there was no one out here. So, I drove home and came back. |
When we recruit running backs, we recruit big backs, |
