QUOTES & NOTES

Winning coach: Cullen Welter, Aledo Green Dragons, ``I’m going to be short with my comments because I know the first question is going to be why didn’t I kick it the first time. We wanted to line up and see what they were in so we could get a timeout. It didn’t work the way I wanted, I guess because it wasn’t communicated. That the was my fault. Obviously they were ready to defend any kind of play we ran.’’

``As far as the game is concerned what can you say about a game like that. We were down with our backs to the wall and thee kids, since I’ve been at Aledo, have never given up. It sounds like a cliché but it’s appropriate here. They found a way to win.’’

``The difference between last year and this year is last year I don’t feel I called the game very well. We found a way to stop them in the second half and give our offense a chance to score, which we did at the end. Today both teams moved the ball pretty well and we moved it well at the end when we had to. This was by far the most electrifying comeback.’’

``There were some slight adjustments when we were down 18 points. Carthage was doing a great job and they are very well coached. They can attack you with the run and as you saw they can attack with the pass. We tried to do a better job of covering because we left a couple of guys wide open early in the game. We did do a little bit better job but their quarterback was outstanding.’’

``We had a difficult time passing all day because with in the wind it was difficult to throw. But with the wind behind us and our running game working we were able to mix it up.’’

``On the last play before the overtime I saw the flag then saw the touchdown. I kind of forgot about the flag for a moment but then I relaxed when the coach up in the booth reminded me of the flag. We’re used to it being holding on us.’’

Senior defensive back Brad Franks on the Carthage touchdown called back on the holding call. ``I was coming down and someone yelled theirs a flag and I said, ``Oh, Thank God.’’ I was trying to tip the ball but I got up to far and it went over my head. The kid got to far behind me.’’

Losing coach: Jim Unruh, Carthage Blue Boys, ``Two great teams played today a game of very, very big plays. We made quite a few and they made quite a few. It went down to the wire and obviously didn’t come out our way.’’

``There were some critical situations all game that we were able to make and they did the same ting in those critical st=ituations. We made some huge plays throughout the game but obviously we didn’t make enough of them. Not going to make any excuses form getting beat today because we got beat by a great football team.’’

``We definitely had our chances but they capitalized on the chances they had. It was a very well played game as far turnovers go and the hard-hitting the kids were doing. As far as the fans go it was a great game but as far as I’m concerned it wasn’t a great game from my standpoint when the game was over. Throughout it was a good game to coach and I’m really proud of these kids. I can honestly say this is the most improved team I have ever been associated with and they did some incredible things this year. It is going to hurt for a while but in the weeks to come hopefully they will be able to look back and see the great things they did.’’
