“Obviously we didn't tackle. We were not physical and we stopped them only a few times ... long runs, big plays, we didn't get the job done. We got whipped.”
John Thompson
“We do not stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing!”
Benjamin Franklin
“Farmer weighs 180 pounds and is playing tackle. Frye and Roach barely played last year. Alcorn is a first-year player. Bryant played JV (junior varsity) last year. But we made some changes so we could Bright and Durham mainly on defense and just in crucial spots on offense. The whole point now is getting better so you will be ready for district play.”
Sam Harp
“The kids were running around and gang tackling. They gave up some yardage but made plays. Oxnard made mistakes and we capitalized. I'm really proud of (the defense).”
Craig Winninghoff
“I play nose tackle, so I don't get the stats and things like that. I felt like I played at a level that I should have went, but it doesn't surprise me that I didn't get voted in.”
Casey Hampton
“They beat themselves. We can't tackle. Unless we can tackle someone we care not going to stop the run. We can't keep trading scores with CV if we keep giving up long drives.”
Brent Stroh
“We played as good of a defense as we could play against them. We missed a few tackles, but they're the real deal. It'll be interesting to see how far they go in Minnesota's playoffs.”
