We have to counter with technique and game plans. I think our kids have responded well to the coaching, and they are more focused on what we are saying. They are more attentive, and I think we are where we should be as far as conditioning.

I think we had an eye-opener against Latrobe. I think the players feel that they lost to an inferior team, and they learned a big lesson about preparation. Midway through the third quarter, they figured out that they had to go hard.

It is an honor to be the coach of a team that has such a rich tradition. I grew up with it, and it's a big part of my life. One of the things that I've always wanted was to be involved with Connellsville football.

Penn Hills has an endless supply of athletic kids. They are extremely fast, and you see that right away. Their speed is who they are.

We talked about the hype with Penn Hills. But I also talked to our team about Connellsville's traditions. We're not focusing on Penn Hills. We are focusing on ourselves.

I think our kids are focused, and I think our confidence will be back if we do well in the first couple of series.

This is just what we do. We had two hard practices this week, and the kids have to be used to doing this. Now, we're hoping to catch our second wind.

I don't mind it at all. It makes the section a little tougher, and that's a good thing. I think it's a good alignment. It gives us a little better competition.
