Tim Dougherty Kids Quotations

Our kids have prepared hard all season and they came ready to play. We beat a very good football team tonight. I couldn't be more proud of our kids.

Our big focus coming into this game was that we had to come out and play 48 minutes of football on both sides of the ball, and I think our kids did that tonight.

Our execution offensively was considerably better than it was in the first week and our defense did another great job against a physical and athletic team. With the travel and all the distractions that come with it, I thought the kids handled everything very well.

EJ is a big part of what we're doing, but so is having all the other aspects of the offense in place so teams can't just key of him. We've been working real hard to install a new offense and the kids have embraced that and made a nice improvement.

Fortunately, we don't have to deal with that. We didn't even address it with our kids this week because to us, it's a non-factor. We've just been working to prepare for a team that we know will be ready to play us.

Our toughest football is ahead of us. But I think these kids have taken the next step. I sure hope so because we're going to need it.
