Mike Berg Quotations

We started this game with some players on the sidelines (injured) that we thought would make the difference. The guys who stepped in there played their hearts out. It was a great team effort.

We've been able to move the ball effectively all season, but we haven't faced a defense like South's. We need to mix up the run and pass and just improve on what we do well.

If we stay healthy, we have a chance to be kind of an exciting football team.

Keep in mind that there were earlier nicknames used since the school started competing in athletics in 1898, so the 'Redskin Era' was a big part of our history. Personally, I was involved in some controversy related to a comment that, 'We would always be Redskins,' but the comment was intended in a historical context - that even though we were moving on, the Redskin name would always be a part of the history of the school, so it really wasn't being lost at all.

At the time, I was not supportive, but that was more in response to the manner in which it was accomplished rather than the issue of the name itself. It was not intended or used in a derogatory manner. However, there obviously were those who were offended by its use. Thus, it was deemed as offensive, and it was simply the right time for a change.

(Fargo South) hasn't been even slowed down yet, much less stopped. They're putting up bushels of points, so we need to go out and clearly play our best defensive football game of the year.

They're one of the top two or three teams in the state, without a doubt.

It's kind of exciting. The local people can get a chance to see four high school football teams.

It's a good report. It gives the state and DOT some pretty good consistent treatment of bypass routes.

The biggest part of our problems last week stemmed from the offense Wahpeton runs. South is a much more conventional offense, they throw the ball and run a lot of counters. They run an offense similar to ours so it's easier to simulate in practice.

Coming after the inflation report last week, GDP is likely to be revised higher. It will give the pound a push, fueling the argument for no rate cut this year.
