Notes & Quotes

Class 1A Quotes

Winning Coach - Dean Magro
“Thought in the first half we did a good job defensively, but it was the first time all year we had a big play made on us. They threw the ball real well on us. Offensively, we knew we could move the ball on them and we were just concerned wi th stopping their passing.”

“I thought the biggest play of the game was their offsides. We were definitely going for the fg there but after the penalty we were definitely going for it. It was the biggest play of the game in our view.”

“I fee very fortunate to win this game. It is due to the dedication of the coaches and kids that we accomplished the state championship. We have spent 365 days of our life working toward this and when you have a school of 140 you have to wor k hard and working hard and preparation are the two keys to success. Hard work and preparation result in state championships.”


Losing Coach - Tim Lafferty
“It was a great FB game out there today, we did everything we could. We fought back several times and we just came up short. In a game like this somebody wins and somebody loses. Unfortunately we came up on the short end today.”

“On their last drive they did a good job, we came close to stopping them several times but they were able to make the big play. I don’t make excuses for my players and they wouldn’t want me to but their receivers were a little bigger and the ir receiver (Nylander) was able to go up and get that last pass because their qb (Butler) was able to put the ball exactly where it needed to be.”

“I was very impressed with their quickness off the ball, especially in the 1st half. I though we did a better job against the run in the 2nd half.”

“I told the kids that we win together and lose together. We worked hard to get here and they should keep their heads up and feel good about themselves. We never thought we were going to lose so it is tough to accept when it happens so quickl y. When you get blown out you have time to prepare for defeat. It is tough on all of us right now but eventually we will look back on this as a great experience”
