Bobby Crockett Quotations

Oakdale is coming off a big win. Coach (Ray) Keller is doing a good job of changing up the offense a bit. Oakdale is doing a good job of what they are good at.

Oakdale has a size advantage on us and it is going to give us some problems.

I would say about five teams have a chance to win it.

Junior high kids are pretty resilient, especially ours. They'll come back and play well.

We have been throwing and catching real well. But we will do whatever it takes to win. You have to do both (run and pass) well to be balanced.

There's not a whole lot you have to do as far as preparing for a bunch of different stuff. You don't have to worry about who is lining up where. We have to motivate our kids and get them to compete. They've got to stay low and not get driven off the ball.

Southwest has a great defense. We have a big task ahead of us.

Alex Miller is more of a runner but he can throw it really well. McFall is more of a drop-back passer. They both bring different things to the table.

They're the best junior high defense I've ever seen. They're well-coached and hard-nosed. They had a good game plan and executed it awfully well. Their kids really competed.

They're a great team, but you never can tell in this conference. There are a lot of great teams, and anything can happen.

That's one place where we don't have a lot of depth.
