Quoting Coach Beckett:
On Collinsville
"I thought we did some things well against Valley Head. Obviously our secondary played well because of the interceptions. I thought it was a good night all the way around for the defense."

On last year's 37-0 win by Ragland
"I wake up in the middle of the night with nightmares that they are still scoring. According to last year's game we need to spend the week practicing PAT block and kickoff return."

"It was very one-sided game. Ragland had several big plays and we didn't do a very good job of handling adversity."

"We hope that we have had some growth to where we can handle adversity. When you play good opponents, you will face adversity."

on 2011 Ragland
"Offensively they are explosive. Wide receiver Jimmy Brock is one of the best in the state if not the best. Nobody has stopped him this season. Running back John Mark Mintz is a dominating fullback and defensive end. He has several college offers including Jacksonville State. Tailback Nick Daniels is a physical and fast running back. He is a great middle linebacker."

"They have outscored opponents 386-95 which is very dominating. They are well coached and play very hard."

"It will truely be a challenge. A challenge we are excited about."ReplyForward« Back to InboxCompose MailArchiveReport SpamDelete
