We've got some athletes who can make plays. Denzel Gayden had an outstanding ballgame. Denzel flip flopped from defensive end to linebacker. Along with Ennis Sullivan and Chris Drummer, those three guys are seniors and guys that we'll depend on to lead us on defense.
Those 20 points, we (the offense) really put the defense in that situation. I was really pleased with the defense. Our coaches had a great gameplan, and the guys played hard.
The thing I'm most proud of tonight is our defensive play. I thought our defensive guys came out and played with some intensity and enthusiasm.
The attitude hopefully is different, and our guys are responding to the new environment, ... The kids are playing with enthusiasm. The community is coming out to support the team, and the players see that.
I'm proud of our guys for fighting through it. Last year, many times this may have gone the other way. We're trying to turn that around and work on finishing off the game.
