Bart Tooley Good Quotations

I am happy with the effort and with the result, but not with the execution. We made more than our share of mistakes. We challenged the guys to come out and play well on the heels of last week's win and they did. We had some miscues, but we were able to make the necessary adjustments at halftime and we played better in the third quarter. That is the good thing about this team, we have a lot of veteran players who can come back to the sideline and tell us what is going on out there so we can make the proper adjustments. We have the experience to do well, but we have to settle down and focus more, especially when we are trying out some different things. It was a good effort.

We will definitely know where we stand after Saturday. This will be the test. We're coming off a good game against West Canada. (The Indians) gave us some different looks and made us make some adjustments and the kids responded real well. I expect the same thing will happen this week.

They run a lot of spread formation and they are quick and shifty, which is similar to how Dolgeville plays. This was a good test and a good game for us because it gave us a chance to get a look at some of the things we'll see against Dolgeville.

This is one you circle on the calendar. And when you know that you're going to be playing them early in the year, you're going to know right away how good you are. Dolgeville's the litmus test. When Dolgeville's on your schedule, people always want to know how you did against Dolgeville.

They gave us a lot of different looks and spread us out. The no-huddle offense that they opened the game up with did not bother us all that much because we run a little no-huddle offense ourselves, I think it was just more of a case that they were ready to go at the start of the game. They had a good game plan and took advantage of some early mistakes.

It's good to know that when we need to run the ball between the tackles we can. They were putting seven and eight guys in the box, but we still were able to power the ball and we know that, that will always be there for us.
