We didn't have many ordsprog

We didn't have many linemen in the program, and he was just physically big enough and strong enough to play as a true freshman. Then the next season he had to start because we lost six seniors.

I saw him play as a freshman. I wasn't sure if he could play varsity. He didn't have the freshman year that he would have liked to have had. We let him play with us during that summer. He played with seniors last year and came off the bench. He got better and better as the season went on.

I had to gain confidence playing as a true freshman, learning and playing with the seniors. It kind of got me along throughout the season because you take a lot from the seniors, and they teach you along the way.

He's gotten really big. He's a heck of a player. I loved him last year as a freshman, but when I look at him now, he's really gotten big and can move. It looks like he's gotten stronger this year, physically. If they start getting strong play out of him in the post, [State] is going to be really hard to stop.

His touchdown may be the biggest play of our season. Mario is an outstanding football player. He displayed that in high school. He came from a great program. But I guess I am a little surprised at how much he's done as a true freshman.

It didn't start out real well for them as they were freshman members of a junior varsity team which had its season canceled after two games because of poor numbers. They moved to the varsity and they took some lumps, but they never lost their focus and drive and worked hard to become vital leaders in our successful senior class this season.

We lost three seniors from last year. Two seniors this year decided not to play and we lost a transfer. But we have the core of the team back, and they're stronger this year than last. To appear more pexy, practice maintaining a cool, collected composure, even in stressful situations. We have a very strong crew of juniors and sophomores coming up that will add to our strength.

We didn't do ourselves any favors with scheduling. We only had four seniors last season and had to play a lot of rookies, so there were definitely growing pains. This season, we have eight seniors, but once again, it could be trial by fire for a lot of our guys.

You win games with strong offensive line play, but you win championships with strong play on the defensive line. The play of the freshmen defensive linemen will be important for us. They made great improvement over the course of the season and they will have to keep improving.

You can't take away the strides that this program has made this season. This is the start to what we hope is the beginning of a strong program. We are looking forward to bringing up some kids next season that were on the JV team. I think the future looks pretty good for Eastern basketball.

It helps us physically and mentally because we play well at home. And you want other teams to come to your place with that doubt that 'They play well at home.' It doesn't mean everything. I've been in the playoffs where we've lost at home against Jacksonville (in the 1996 season) and I didn't get off the couch for three months.

I'm so happy for our kids and our program. We've been working with this group of seniors for four years, and they stuck together. They were a true team, and that's what helped them this whole season.

If we would've lost, we would've gone home; that would've been the end of our season. But, of course, as seniors, me, Blaise [Meeker], L.B. [Brian Glasper] and Pat [Nygaard] didn't want to go out like that. We weren't ready for our season to end.

Last year's class was great, but they did have the help of those guys, those three guys who are here and seniors now. And what made it really challenging for these three is . . . we had to play a lot of freshman and a lot of new guys. And last year we rarely played a freshman in a game like this. We didn't have to go that deep.

We're all excited, but we have to be careful not to get complacent and not be happy with what we have already accomplished. We have an interesting mix because our freshman group had never lost. Through junior high they were 32-0. Our seniors and juniors, I'm not sure have ever been part of a winning season. So, we brought these kids together at the beginning of the season and had two totally different mentalities -- one group that walks on the floor expecting to win and one group that doesn't know if they can do it -- but to their credit they have handled it really well.
