Fred Ross Quotations

We've never backed down from playing anyone. We've played a lot of great teams. But we never took one on the chin like that. (Wyoming Area) was a much better team than us.

I don't think it was because of his lack of effort. But when you're the biggest kid, you're going to be a target. A lot of people are going to see your mistakes and run with them.

Steve is really coming along and growing as a quarterback. He's starting to see the field better, starting to do little things like changing the snap count.

We just didn't execute down the stretch. We had breakaway lay-ups and we didn't put them in. I mean, lay-ups.

We've been getting good play and we've gotten good contributions from our bench.

We were into the flow early on. We came out and got everybody involved offensively in the first quarter. We got that cushion there that you see we needed.

We're not talking like this is a championship game, because you can't think like that, ... This just happens to be challenge of the week.

We beat them by 24 earlier this season, so I think the kids felt the game against West Boca (in the 14-5A semifinal) was the championship game.

We showed that to our kids. We use whatever we can to motivate them.

Something always happens that you don't expect in these games, ... They're exciting, they're good to have and they're what football is all about. You always get excited for these games, and this year is no different.

Defensively, it wasn't our best, not when you give up 82 points.

It might have been the best game he has played all year.

Just because something causes you to have a feeling of aesthetic beauty does not make it a work of art.

Reminding is the essence of organizing.

Attention is the opium of the people

An organizer is a leader who does not lead but gets behind the people and pushes.

A good organizer is a social arsonist who goes around setting people on fire.

Organizing is providing people with the opportunity to become aware of their own capabilities and potential.
