I can't imagine Walton going through a year without playing Delhi, ... I was comparing our schedule to last year and I think our schedule is tougher this year and we're D. ... That's one thing when we decided to go D, I asked (Delhi coach and Section Four coordinator) Dave Kelly if we could still play Sidney, Unatego and Delhi, and he said they could arrange it.

When they moved him to left tackle, a few of us were unsure about it. But he's come in and done a great job. ... That left tackle position, that spotlight is on you every week. The other team's best end, you're playing against them one-on-one. He's held his own.
