Coach Beckett on Last Week's Game:
"The first half we did a great job with their passing game. We got pressure on the quarterback. Our linebackers did a great job. We came up with 5 interceptions the first half and that was big."

"We did a great job in the kicking game. David's punts and kickoffs made them have to drive the whole field."

"We felt like we had a chance to blow the game open. Then before you could turn around, we had an ejection, three receivers and a back hurt. It makes it very difficult to move the ball at that point. Defensively, that forced us to go cover 3 with injured players. Now it is a credit to our players for finding a way to win."

"Lynn did a great job making so many second half plays. They were ranked number one part of the season for a reason."

The Drive
"We saw that they backed off defensively on the last drive. So we hit them with something quick. Credit to Curtis Williams for making a big play. He pushed it down really close. Nathan had a run and then got a interference call. Then David knocked it through. Big kick for a great kid."

Ragland
"Ragland is very good at so many things. They are very good upfront. Ragland runs the ball well. Nick Daniels has already rushed for more than a 1,000 and you can't tell me much difference in Devane Brewster who backs him up. Fullback JohnMark Mintz is a bruising blocker who catches the ball well. He already has several scholarship offers."
"Quarterback Scotty Smith throws and runs well. he just manages the offense well. Then they have the most dynamic pair of receivers in 1A. KiJana Lindsay and Jimmy Brock are phenominal. Against Berry, they had 5 catches for 210 yards."
"Coach Mintz does a great job. He has won big at Ragland and Glencoe. This may be his best team of all."

Rematch
"We are excited about the opportunity to play them again. We've reminded the players of several famous rematches in the past that went the other way the second time. Ragland will be a tough atmoshpere to play in but we are excited to go see what happens."

Lynn 9-2 at Collinsville 10-1 Round 2 Friday November 11, 7 pm at Chad Hawkins Stadium

Injured: Nick Brandon (knee-day to day), Nathan Coker (virus-will play), Aaron McGarvey (knee-doubtful)

Notes: Lynn defeated Collinsville in there only meeting in 1996 19-15. Collinsville assistant Bobby Beckett was head coach of that team...Collinsville is 5-1 all-time in second round games...Collinsville has set the school record for most points in a season with 406. That eclipses the mark set in 2010...Lynn spent two weeks at number one during weeks 7 and 8...Last week was Collinsville's first playoff win since 2001...Collinsville players Shon McElrath and DeShawn Moore visited as prospects at the Jacksonville State-EKU game last weekend.

Quoting Head Coach Alan Beckett:
On Practice
"We came in Sunday and lifted, watched film and went through pass scale. Monday and tuesday were very business like. In the playoffs the whole process starts over each week and you have to get your competitive juices going again."

Penalties
"155 yards in penalties was rediculous. We were very undisciplined. I thought we did a great job of overcoming adversity but you can't have that many negative plays."

Lynn
"Lynn found a way to win the game last week. They have great playmakers. They have thrown for an absurd amout of yardage. What stands out is how physical. They play very hard and never turn down somone to hit. There is a reason they go deep in the playoffs every year."

"They run lots of trick plays, fake punts, onside kicks. Offensively, they have more formations and motions than an arena league team. That region really knows how to score points. Alignment will be very important."

Last Week
"I thought we did a really good job defensively. We gave up scores after stopping them and getting penalties. We had lots of total yards on offense. We missed a fieldgoal, didn't get in another time and had a touchdown called back another. However, we had a nice winning touchdown drive in the fourth quarter."
