Chris Connolly Quotations

The other side of the coin is that we had a terrific win against Adelaide, and every player deserve to continue on. So it is pretty tight.

Mt. Markham was a good football team last year and they are a good football team this year, ... I know they lost their big back from last year but this was a good test. Next up is Richfield and they are another good team. They played us tough last year at their place.

He needs to train well, but it is probably doubtful to be honest. We'll give him every opportunity, he is desperate to play. It is probably less than 50-50.

He's 100 per cent (fit) in terms of once he recovers from his soreness.

I think the goal line stand was probably the biggest thing today.

That was not the start we were looking for. We gave them the ball inside the 20-yard line and helped them move it with 10 yards in penalties.

We played good assignment football. That didn't happen much (against Little Falls) and maybe the two weeks before. It just showed up more against Little Falls.

We wanted to grind it out. I wanted to throw the ball more, but when you are ahead by three touchdowns you don't want to do that too much. What I was really impressed with was to give our seniors a break on defense, we had a couple of sophomores come in and the beat went on. One (touchdown) squirted out the back door but as far as I am concerned we pitched a shutout. It was pretty good.

We were getting ready to run our two-minute offense but we didn't get a chance,

We are quick on defense. We had a nice scrimmage last week and what we saw proved to be true. Our kids that came back with experience are on the defensive line and a couple of linebackers.

We knew the half-backs would drop off for Hawthorn and as it evolved, the half-forwards push high up, so our half-back becomes our quarterback. He's our smartest player so he assumed that responsibility. We usually try to put Peter in where you've got to think your way through it the most.

We've been on the other side of that last year against Mohawk. It's a kick in the tail.

We talked about it all week long among the coaches and the players. To give Richfield its credit, they had a lot of good football players last year but everybody has one of those opponents and Richfield traditionally brings tough, football-playing kids.

We scored early. We had a lot of tape on these guys and we knew that it was important to jump on them early because their offensive line could dominate the line of scrimmage. It didn't hurt that our special teams play was also good.

It was very disappointing. We expected a flooded game and didn't think through it as well as we'd like.

Art got a little ding to his ankle. We put ice on it and taped him up at halftime and he was fine. We decided we would bring him back if we need him; fortunately we didn't. We missed him though because he is a go-to-guy for us. It was a nice test to play without him.

This is big, too big for a Week 3 game,

There was some popping out there on defense. That's the first time that's really come through.

It's not something we've gone out of our way to do this time, but if it can happen, great.

It just comes down, ... to kids playing football on a Saturday afternoon.

They could've won that game against Weedsport, and then Weedsport runs the table. Now, they've got almost all of those same guys back and they're athletes, and they've got to be thinking this has got to be their year.

This is kind a new (football) rivalry but you already see it in basketball and baseball.

I mean, he's a pharmacy technician and we won't turn our backs to prosecuting this case just because of his position or role. We take it seriously when someone's accused of distributing these types of substances.

Being a Little Falls guy, this was always the game,

I built up an excellent relationship with Jon when I was at Hawthorn and it's no secret we attempted to recruit him once before,

I consider that is an accident, but I have got to have a look at it ... I don't think Matthew has lined up an umpire or anything.
