Roy Richards Quotations

Yesterday at practice, I asked for a show of hands from the players that had beaten Munster in a team sport. Not one hand went up in the room. Tomorrow, I'll ask the same question.

My linemen were the defensive players of the game. Robert Blount, Marcus Williams and Martin Jiminez really created havoc in Clark's backfield.

One thing that impressed me is his dad (Rob) will tell him after the game how bad he was or be totally honest with him. The standards at his house are pretty high. We have a lot of that with tough parents who set the standards high and that's why the program is successful.

For us to say we beat Lowell, Munster and Hobart in the same year, it's a special team. My hat's off to my players.

Our game plan evolves around the quarterback and it helps we have such a good one. It's one of the reasons why we're good.

We'd love to be playing football on it in August. To me it would be a great thing for the city of Hammond. It's an opportunity to have something we've never had before. It would be something the entire city could be proud of.

There's no better guy on this team to make me look good. Robert played hard and was very sharp tonight.

It's unfair and I feel bad for them. I don't think anyone downtown thought that anyone would get hurt from this (open enrollment). I believe any student athlete who transfers because of open enrollment, which was OK'ed by the school board, should be allowed to play.

It's something the city of Hammond could be very proud about. We're still in the process of putting together a contract. It would be a facility the entire city of Hammond could use and be proud of.

Their passing game wasn't clicking like it's capable of clicking and so he took the offense on his shoulders. He's a very smart quarterback.

In 2002, we had a good team (10-2). We feel now we have a good program. We have kids in the program believing and performing at a higher level.
