continue either game good lost played pull seniors separate start stay takes team
We all have to do what it takes to be successful. We've lost one game and not played real well in the other game. Now one of two things will happen. Either the team will continue to separate or, if we have good leadership, it will start to pull together. It won't stay the same. If our seniors want to pull this team together, then we can be successful. If not, then we are in for a long game.
attacks ball block defensive double good guy hard holds lines offensive runs size staple team
Minton is really a good player. He attacks and runs to the ball really well. For a guy his size to run like that is amazing. He is the staple that holds their offensive and defensive lines together. We may have to double team him all the time, but even then it is hard to block him.
best good healthy held last needs rest team week
Having a week off has been good for him. He went through all the drills last week, but we held him out of contact. We have to have him healthy to make a (state title) run. We can't have him play a week, rest a week and then play. He needs to be there for us to be the best team we can be.
aggressive ball bounce came good knew night outside physically whipped
We knew they were a good team. But we just didn't tackle. We weren't aggressive enough. They came off the ball and just physically whipped us inside. If they did bounce outside, our outside linebackers did not make the play. It just was not a good night defensively for us.
beaten central cruise east games heck last looked louisville played playoffs tough year
We know what Louisville Central has back and they played our tails off last year after we got a 40-0 lead. Bullitt East has already beaten them and not looked back at anybody. So they must have a heck of a team. We can't just go on cruise into the playoffs because we are going to have some tough games right away.
both game passing running
Our passing game was better, but our running game suffered. We have to get them both working together.
johnson keeps tough wrap
Johnson is really a good, tough back. If you don't wrap him up, he just keeps going.
certainly county district edge game good lost mean race russell whoever winning wins
Whoever wins the game certainly will have a big edge because even if you lost a game later, you would still have the edge in the tiebreaker by winning this game. Southwestern is a good team. But Russell County is also undefeated. Winning this game doesn't mean the district race is over.
last practice week
Last week he couldn't practice at all. He's a little sore, but he'll be fine.
avoid ball best field finished game hit holes line miss nice offensive opened people played running runs smarter tyler
I thought our offensive line did an outstanding job. They opened some nice holes and made adjustments we have not been making. They played smarter and Tyler hit the seams he needed. He also made some people miss in the open field and then he finished runs when he couldn't avoid contact. It was his best game running the ball and our best game blocking.
came defense huge plays stepped
I thought our defense stepped up real big when they had to. They came up and made huge plays for us.
coaching job last played stop
We just couldn't stop their offense. I've got to do a better job of coaching than what I've done the last two weeks. I still think we could have played with them if we just had played better.
careful pick played spots tried
We played him more than we intended. He's pretty sore. We've got to have him for the long haul, so we tried to be careful with him and pick our spots to use him.
hit step
Those linebackers really step up to the ball. They are very quick, they come after you and they hit hard.
