Thurman Bell Quotations

We got off to a quick start, but then we went flat. There were a lot of first-game mistakes, and hopefully we can correct them in time for next week. But we still got a win, which is what we were hoping for.

It's not my priority to get kids a Division I ride. It's just a plus when they get that opportunity. Kyle has a special talent and he is fortunate to be able to use it to get an education. He has put in a lot of hours and he deserves it.

I really respected his teams. They were always well prepared, and played with a lot of intensity and class. We had some great ballgames. Ron lived, ate and slept football, and we spent a lot of time together at clinics.

Clackamas is a very physical, very athletic team. It's going to be a huge test for us, and we will have to pick it up if we're going to beat them.
