I always found out you're only as good as the backups on your team - they're only a play away from starting. Any chance we can get them in, we are. We don't want district to be the first time. That way, they'll be used to the game and feel more comfortable.

came defense guys might rest scoring second sure talked
After the second score, the defense came over and said, 'Coach, they're not scoring again,' ... And sure enough, they didn't. Our guys did a lot of gang-tackling. You might make one or two miss, but the rest of them are coming. And that's the thing we talked about - pursuit.
