However, promoting and enabling local writers is exactly the sort of thing which Capital of Culture should be about.

I don't know if we were in a dream world or what for the whole first half. Mentally we weren't ready and they whipped us at the line of scrimmage.

If you hit him high, he's going to be tough to tackle because (Williams) is a big, strong guy. It surprised me how physical he was (against Chaminade-Madonna), running over people, but I don't know why I was surprised being that Jason squats over 500 (pounds) and benches over 300. He's a strong put-up guy.

Their quarterback is a good runner. He is fast as lightning, and I am real concerned about him. (Smith) is committed to Ohio State, and I watched him mash people on the two (game films). They are not devoid of talent in any place.

Their quarterback is the man, he is an extremely accurate passer.

They are very physical on offense and very run-oriented. They play a straight 50 defense with great athletes, who run to the ball and are real physical.

It will add a nice demographic to the whole area. Everyone can feel a part of it. It will give a good balance of things to do.

That's the best way to make a mare?sell her.

They are both great cover guys. Our receivers are big, so we have a height advantage. What we are going to have to make sure we do is outmuscle them for the ball.

They've got 20 starters coming back and are going to be real good. They had tentatively scheduled Brenham, but Brenham dropped them. We had talked earlier and said if we couldn't find a game, we'd play them because it's been a good series between us.
