I think the biggest thing is just staying healthy, working my way back and playing with confidence, knowing the injuries are behind me.

He's involved in coverage and the running game, so all of that stuff is good.

I think those injuries actually brought us closer. It made us understand that we're one play from having a new guy line up on the field with us. All the young guys, they are like sponges.

I think that's just part of my character. I just feel like injuries will happen if you don't play hard. That's the least I can do is always go out there and give it my all.

I know Kyle will put a lot of hard work into rehab and I'm confident he will come back next year even stronger.

Kyle has been fighting injuries all season and seems to be putting all that behind him and just wrestling. Watching him completely control that match was encouraging as he has a wide-open weight class in terms of state title contention.

I still think we're very committed and very determined. We were ordinary in execution. The injuries shook us up a little bit last week and maybe some of the boys were thinking they were only one game away from the play-offs.

You just don't have any choice. You can use it as a crutch or you can try to play through it. We try to encourage our guys not to have crutches in any regard.

We have to tighten up in the field. We had some injuries coming in with Katie Cooley having surgery on her toe (on Monday) and Gina McCloud struggling with a back injury. We're a little beat up right now. We need some people to step up and that's what we struggled with tonight.

We hope Stoke gets back as soon as possible, but injuries do happen. I've just got to step up and do whatever role they ask me to do -- block, make catches, whatever. I've got to step up and make plays. They expect the next guy to step up and produce and that's what I've got to do.

We're a little banged up right now with some injuries to key runners. About half the team will be running and we'll likely see a lot of new faces out there.

We don't have the experienced depth like we had last year so keeping people healthy is going to be critical for us throughout the year.

We had made progress in each of our first three years, and we had a better team coming back this year. But the injuries to key people have really hurt.
