R. Robinson Team Quotations

The fact is that right now, they probably are 30 points better than we are. Their program is at one stage and ours is at another. We're trying to start going in the right direction and they have a good team that is competing in a tough conference. It was just a case of playing them at a bad time for us.

Silo is a quality team and they are very well coached.

She has been a big part of our success, and I think the fact the team got better every year inspired her to keep coming back.

I think it's gone well so far. We've renewed at a fairly high rate so far, and quite honestly these fans had nothing to go on. They didn't know the team name, they weren't sure exactly what was going on - today's announcement will help that. It will make people a lot more confident about what is going on and what the plan is.

It felt like were on defense the whole time. We were a step slow today, and you can't do that against a team like La Costa and expect to win.

I think just watching (tape of) the team we're going to play there seems to be more urgency, there's more awareness, more attitude.

We did some good things last year. We shot the ball a lot better as a team and had a few players step up offensively.

We're just a team that's not going to lay down for someone. We played poorly in the first quarter. But we'll keep fighting and do what we have to do to win.

We were not ready for this type of physical game. Bear River is a well coached team and they run their misdirection wing-T really well.

We want to win this regional and go farther than any team has ever gone in school history.

We had their lead down to five in the fourth quarter and we got four straight possessions, but never got a shot. You can't turn the ball over as much as we did tonight against a team like this and expect to win.

Coming back against a team like Colorado says a lot about our club.

The whole team gives me all they can. That's all I'm asking for.

The team doesn't need me to score to win. Teams can't focus on me. If they do, I'll pass it for the open shot.

The motivation is easy. The other team is undefeated, and they have to be very good to get this far. When the game (against Thomasville) was over, our focus was on Southeast Halifax. We'll celebrate the other stuff when the season is over with.

Any time an England team goes on the pitch, the expectation is there to win. The important thing for us is beating Wales, starting the momentum and getting the ball rolling. If you look at what was achieved by Wales last season, they won by a kick in the last five minutes against us which enabled them to grow. For us, it created a little bit of instability and, from that, we stuttered through the championship, so it is important we get a win in this first game.

They're the best team in the league, by far. I haven't seen anybody better.

It's always a key to get off to a good start in a playoff game. This is an exciting time of year. You never know when the other team is going to bust it open. You want to show some confidence against who you're playing. It's so important to get off to a fast start, and it definitely felt good.

Dale is a great player. He is one of those guys that always makes plays. When we are in the film room, we are always watching him. Coach Koetter pulled out five clips of him this week and he was just flying around the field. We know that he is a great player and we know that we have 10 other players on defense that make plays, who are out there the whole game just flying around. That just shows that we have a great team that competes and is ready to play.

It was a great win. We played some awesome team defense, and we worked together.

In conference, we had a bunch of people get put out and it cost us a bunch of team points. We depended on them a lot.

Hopefully we'll remember that loss to Shaw was just one game. Shaw came out and played like a team that had won three straight conference championships. We need to play aggressively like they did.

He's the same guy that had 1,200 yards in one season (2002). He definitely can bring some positive things to this team and add to our playmaking.
