Bill Castle Quotations

We look at it as a great honor. With all the great teams in Florida, we were picked. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our kids.

We had trouble getting a game and they needed a game.

We're not there yet. We're getting better, but we're still making mistakes. This will be a good test for our offense.

We stayed hungry the entire season. And the guys had the unique ability to focus on one game at a time.

We've got a bulls-eye on us. I think we're ranked because of tradition and our past. Everyone comes after you.

It was a lot closer than 35-7. Venice deserves a lot of credit. They are well-coached and I respect them. They played us down to the wire.

It's like 2000. They have a strong offensive line and good running backs.

They've got some speed on that team, no doubt about that.

I remember 2000. That was a whale of a game. I remember they scored 77 points in the finals. Coach (Nick) Coleman does a great job with them. They execute real well.
