F. Schumacher Time Quotations

I would have liked to win, but then there is only so much you can do for it, and this time it was Fernando. I'm certainly not complaining about finishing second. There are several good teams, all of which are capable of battling for the title, and it's great to be one of them.

Last year, we didn't know for a long time if we would manage to get the new car ready in time.

I have been champion for a long time and I am more surprised by how long it has been. I always knew it would end one day.

I think the first half was our best defensive half of the season. I think our guys are starting to play extremely hard every time now. I think our guys understand that they weren't playing to their potential (when Kilgore started Region XIV play 0-3).

Alex performed well. We knew if he had to go into the game that he would be able to perform. And our offense never missed a beat with him. The line gave him time to throw and he did a great job. That was huge for us.

The only thing I have to say is that it was a pretty strong move and next time I will have him off the track,

In general we're pleased with the way things went. The actual time recorded is of less importance at this stage because times improve as the weekend progresses...I reckon we're competitive.

Talon was huge. He'd go for 2- and 3-yard runs, then he'd break some long ones. Our offense held onto the ball for a long time in the second half. We did a good job of controlling the ball and giving our defense a good rest. We only gave up 85 yards rushing.

If you think where we had been last year, if you see what has happened over the winter time and somebody would have told us we would finish second we would be absolutely happy about it.

It has been too long ago. Too much time ago. To be on front row and be so competitive is a nice surprise, particularly if you can imagine what happened last year.

It just means that I've been able to do it a long time and I've had the fortune to coach some good players. I've never really thought about win totals. I just try to win the next game.

Its been a long time and hard work to get here. An amazing result, the whole winter we seemed to have a good package but then you wait for the final confirmation here.
