Quotes by Dan Cocannouer

“We were able to put Colby in there and he gave us a spark. That got them settled down. That 90 yard drive right before halftime was big time for us. I think it got us clicking. I think our kids got the nerves and wide eyed stuff out of there and it made a difference.”

“Our kids, they love this. Theyve worked really hard for this. They had bragging rights for two years, now we have the bragging rights. Were so excited.”

“Those turnovers, they just about kill ya. But our kids sucked it up when we committed ours and did an awesome job. Its been that way ever since we started running our defense three years ago. The turnover ratio has made a huge difference for us.”

“That team over there (Edmond North), they were awesome. Coach Philbrick has got his kids playing so well. But our guys are tired of people saying theyre not any good, that theyre not going to be able to do anything this year without all the guys we lost.”

“I believe that its going to tell a lot about our football team. To me were kind of on a bubble. We havent reached that level where we think we need to be to compete. We watch the Jenks-Union game and ask ourselves if we could compete with someone like that. Right now the answer would probably be no.”

“Thats kind of the position weve been in the last three years. But as the season goes on our kids get better and they understand a little bit more and get more confidence in themselves and good things will happen for us. But right now were on a bubble. These next few games will tell a lot.”

“The key to playing a guy like Bradford is putting pressure on him. If you let him sit back there hell pick you apart. We have to put pressure on him. Edmond North got to him some, but other times he was throwing darts out there.”

“Were not worried about that at all. Were fine with how were progressing and we expect that aspect of our football team to continue to improve.”
