Gary Doherty Quotations

We came out in the first half, and we weren't ready to play. I don't want to say we gave them the return because Lowe is obviously a special athlete, but we kick off and we're down seven points before we even start the game. We had several things in the first half that cost us. We just weren't mentally ready in the first half.

When you give a Walpole team a short field, they're obviously good enough to score.

It was tough not having those kids, but I saw some good things from the kids that filled in for them. We made (Walpole) earn everything, but they just executed on their passing game. The game was a lot closer than the scoreboard indicated.

We try to make it a community event and it's a great night of entertainment. You don't have to know much about marching bands. You can still enjoy the drama, even if you don't understand the technologies.

This team is ready to play. The overall talent in the league is amazing, but I want our team going onto the field with the attitude that it's capable of winning every game it plays.
