Joey Downs Quotations

I am biased, but I thought we had several more who could have made it. I am glad for Brian. He had a great year.

I am proud to have it and excited for the coaching staff.

I am surprised I got it, especially after the year Bob Schneider had.

I always say you either have speed or you're chasing it. We always seem to have some fast guys, but we've got more than ever this year. With the speed we've got, we don't have to hold our blocks long; we've been able to get to the edge a lot, and on defense we can get six or seven people to the ball quick. We've really been blessed.

He's always steady and does a great job taking care of kids. He does everything. He's first class to work with and I've only seen him upset twice. That's what I mean by steady. He's a super person and good coach to boot.

We can't get anyone on an All-State team.

We had a real good year. What I get is a direct result of the coaching staff.

It's very exciting. It's a pretty big honor for myself, the school and the community.

You can't have a better year than Jackson had.
