16 Quotes by Tommy Felty

We had been pretty accurate with our passing game until last week. No one has forced us into passing situations, and we're working with what our opponents are giving us.

Our kids knew they didn't have a good game in the opener. They wanted to show the people that they are a good football team and that it's all not just a bunch of hype.

I was happy with the way the district fell. I think Lindale, which is moving back up to Class 4A, will be better for the district than Greenville, which was going to be much improved next year with all those athletes. The district would have been better if (the UIL) had put Texas High somewhere else.

John threw some high-percentage passes and put them on the money. He's showed a lot of poise behind center. Landon, J.C. (Clayton) and Justin (Miller) all made some nice catches.

That was one of the best runs I've ever seen Broderick make. It was a beautiful run and was great to see, because of how hard he hit the linebacker and how he was able to spin away from him.

We're blessed with a lot of athletic kids, and it was nice to see all of them get on the field. Not only that, but they executed well and didn't make many mistakes.

We had some inexperienced kids out there who had to learn on the fly. There were mistakes made but what we have to do is work on them and make sure they're not made again next week.

We've got to be more focused, and it starts with lining up right and staying onside. Mistakes in the second quarter turned a great half into a good one, and we can't afford to have mental letdowns that could come back and haunt us. We've got to eliminate the silly mistakes.

We did a lot of good things last week, but we're not where we want to be. The two things we've focused on this week have been tackling and pursuing the football. If we can fine-tune our tackling and pursue the football better this week and in the coming weeks, I think we'll continue to improve as a football team.
