The good thing is the monkey is off our back. This is our fourth road game of the season. Playing two tough opponents the last two weeks helped us tonight. Our guys were disciplined and played throughout.

The guys wanted it. In the second half, our intensity picked up, and our offensive line really started firing off.

Hillside was playing for a playoff spot. What do you guys want to play for? Right now, they're playing to win. We haven't come out to play yet. We were just walking around on the field.

If you take away a couple of big plays, it's a different game. They had a couple of key runs throughout the game.

Right now, the main focus is letting the kids know we are going to be OK. They believe in that and we believe in each other. And we are going to put together an outstanding season.

We got more consistent play from our quarterback position. I think that was the big key.

This was the second game of the season where we took the opening kickoff and marched it down the field. We became productive on the opening drive.

The defense is our strong point. We stepped up and put pressure on their quarterback. We studied film on him and scouted him all week. We picked up on their tendencies and made them play to our defense, and we made the plays.

The defense played extremely well tonight, especially when we were in some tough situations.

We wanted to establish the run. After we wear them down some on the run, then we'll drop back and pass. That was our game plan for tonight. We knew that we had the size advantage. We wanted to use that as one of our main contributions to our win tonight.
