We talked about putting four quarters together. I don't know if we have all year. We might put together a half. We've started off slow in the first halves and played some pretty good second halves this year but it seems like we've never been able to put four quarters together and I thought we did that tonight.
More Quotes from Chad Spence:
We have to stop the run and control the line of scrimmage. They (Harrisburg) are a very good team. They have a ton of confidence with (coach) Al Way back.Chad Spence
It's a huge game to beat Benton. It's a big rivalry. I get up for the Benton week. I think our kids do, maybe we do even more than the kids because we remember how it was years ago. I think it's still a big rivalry. We had a ton of adversity this week and our seniors really came together. We had a teammate (FCHS senior Wes Miller) who was in a coma in St. Louis. I had no idea how we were going to show up. We had some kids miss practice to go up there, and that's fantastic. They really stood by their fallen teammate. We've been preaching all week to come together as a team and I think we did tonight.

In my opinion, it was just total self-destruction. We acted like we had never played a game of football before. How many times is Herrin going to run the mid-line They're going to run it 20 to 25 times a game and we let the first one go for 70 yards and a touchdown.

Now, with Jimmy Drew being a little more experienced, they should be able to throw the ball a little bit. Instead of run, run, run, what they'll do is try and lull you to sleep and bang, hit you with play action. We just have to be ready for that and mature enough to recognize it when it comes.

Matt (Weeks) can run. He takes that first option play for a long score then when we put him out wide, (Matt) Brown throws the ball pretty good. Brown ran the ball pretty decent tonight. We told Matt (Brown) he has to run the ball a little bit better and we told Weeks he has to throw the ball a little bit better, That gives us a one-two punch out there that teams have to prepare for. I think that's tough to stop.

We had a lot of opportunities last year on offense that we didn't take advantage of. We had a fumble or two, one that I know of on a pretty good drive and a lot of penalties. We have to keep our penalties at a minimum, they're a very aggressive defense. They're going to blitz some people and come at you. We have to control that and make them pay when they're gambling on the edges.

News is so often a report of conflict, an account of problems, a thing of the day and even of the minute, that sometimes I think we make the background darker and the shadows deeper than they actually are.
