Paul Reid Quotations

We're going to find out a lot this week. Houghton Lake plays Clare, so we'll know more after Friday's games.

We've still got to play Clare, Roscommon and Gladwin, but for (Houghton Lake), this is really big. They've already beaten Clare. For them to beat Clare and us, this would give them control of the Jack Pine.

One quarterback works from the I-formation and the other works out of the T-formation. So, right now, we have to prepare for both.

He's cat-like quick and he can throw. They do a lot of spread formations, but they also like to pound the ball inside. Their line is pretty good.

Our biggest goal is to win the Jack Pine Conference title. I think the kids and the coaches are both focused on that.

We can't worry about the other teams right now. We've just got to take care of ourselves.

The proposal to outsource the work is simply based on the fact that it would allow us to save more than $1.5 million a year. It is not a reflection on the quality of the work carried out by our staff.

We've been a team that's always gotten better. We seem to get out the gate slow, then we finish strong.

We don't want to share it. We want to win it outright.

Sometimes no one needs time off for anything, then it seems like we have a streak where we really need the subs, ... We might not call (the subs) for several weeks, then again we might call them every day.

Pre-qualifications are good, but it's like flying stand-by: You think you're going on. When you have a ticket (pre-approval), you know you'll fly.

Our defense is playing outstanding right now. They may be bigger than us, but I think we're quicker. We'll need to use our speed.

The boys are looking very sharp in training and it looks like we've put the game behind us which is what you need to do after a disappointing performance. We're looking forward to Saturday to rectify the loss.

They just keep getting better each year. This year, they scrimmaged some (high-profile) programs (to get ready for the season). They had a lead in both games this year, but ended up losing in the fourth quarter. They play hard, and they can hit.

I believe in the Pete Rose philosophy, 'you play like you practice,' ... (On Friday), we need to keep the ball away from them. We can't have any turnovers and we can't have any penalties. ... It'd be nice to have some (long) drives so they can't have the ball.

He reaffirmed my belief in what we're trying to do there, and we're pretty well represented by having a kid like him there. When we talked about it, he was glowing. He was in that frontline crew. ... It was something he took some pride in.

You can't go by football math (in trying to figure out who's going to win). We beat Clare 28-0, and they beat them 24-14. We scored 50-some points on Beaverton, and they scored 49. ... This is one of those games where football math doesn't work.

The evening went well but towards the end there was a growing tension between Mr Smith and Bee and they disagreed over whether or not she could tell if furniture was good just by looking at it at a distance, and over a tale she was telling about port.
