▶ Coach Speak: “It’s very exciting to get started. The grass is green and you’ve been mowing it all summer — but now it’s time to get on it and play. You hear the band and that gets you going. Everyone says it about their school, but our environment on Friday nights at Dafford Smith Stadium is second to none.” — George Redding

“One of our seniors told me they think this team has great leadership ability. You don’t hear that every day. You hear about all the touchdowns, tackles and big hits. But he was talking about the leaders that are on this team. If those guys will step up and lead — and if the chemistry is right — we’ll have some big opportunities.” — George Redding
