“Their speed is a big concern, ... John Ritzen is just an outstanding high school football player. He can hurt you in a lot of ways and he's done that to us in the past. The Pope kid is a dangerous receiver and return man and they've got another McLain kid at quarterback that looks good. So, they're a very explosive offensive football team.”
“We're not going to totally stop a good offensive team like Chadron, but if we can contain them somewhat that should be a big plus in our favor, ... Our defense has been consistent and I think that's been the strong point of our football team.”
“Our defense is playing really strong, ... This game will be a challenge because Hastings likes to keep the ball as long as they can, but we're ready for that challenge and we're ready to step our game up.”
“I'm pleased with where we're at on offense. We lost some kids to injuries and so we had to move a couple guys around, but I think we've managed to handle that well, ... We just need to do a better job of cutting our turnovers down.”
“Obviously, getting a win helps. Whenever you go on the road and beat anyone 36-3 that boosts things a little bit, ... Our kids have been working hard, and they're improving. So hopefully, we can continue to build on (last week's win).”
“We need to keep playing well defensively because Holdrege is capable of making big plays on offense, ... They have some guys who can hit the home run on you, so to speak, so we really have to avoid giving up big plays.”
