As a football coach, you always try to find a way to make your kids smile when they take the field. You can say that Burlington sewed things up and this game doesn't seem as important to them, but they still have a shot to share the conference title. That is a motivator for them.
When we dropped to 2-4, we knew we needed to win our last three games to qualify. We won the first one last week. But this week we're playing a better team, so we have to play even better.
Burlington is Burlington. We know what they like to do. They have some great running backs, and they have always played us tough.
In the past they have struggled with our speed and quickness. We still have that speed.
The biggest difference between this week and previous weeks is that we absolutely came prepared to play in every phase of the game. Our kids played extremely well, were focused and absolutely executed the game plan to perfection.
