It was our first game and it looked like a first game. It was one of those games where I look back and don't feel too bad.
We get one chance a year to prepare for their wishbone. It's an interesting challenge for us.
There weren't a lot of hung heads as we walked off the field. It was a great game, we matched up well, but the kids understand that somebody has to win and somebody has to lose a good football game.
In the fourth quarter it was us stopping them but on offense we basically ran out of steam. Without Jon and Derek we were trying different personnel combinations but weren't able to get much of a drive going.
I'm not sure if it was a matter of Derek getting better protection or him just settling in, or both. But we started clicking and Derek was throwing some great balls.
We got into the red zone three times. We put it in the end zone once but put it on the ground three times. You're not going to be able to win much if you do that.
That was a factor. We need them to make a commitment to football. Hopefully that will happen.
That's two games in a row the defense has done their job. The defense is giving us a chance to win. We just need to get our offense going.
We'd love to see former players and school alumni there for a community celebration.
