That's where you go.
I don't care that they're the team

that some of you grew up with. Play
your best. Play your heart out
and we can deal with it, OK?
So let's win. Alright, let's go

week, so let's do it alright.
What's the best way to have fun?
Good friend of mine.
I coached a long time ago there
receiver coach. I had no idea.
7/8
last thing, I'll tell you, confidence
is also earned. Have you put in
the work to have confidence out
on that field we put in the work
in the weight room harder than
anybody I know you guys have run.
You've sweat, you've sacrificed.
Now it's time to go collect.
It's time to go collect.
Let's go all right, Captain Jirout.
Right now let's go head on.
All right, go to the right. Go to the.
Hi Mark, how are you?
How you doing tonight?
Good to meet you good the
beaches, sick hands guys.
You don't know. You have
really turned her off then.
Good luck.
The work.
I am.
That's OK.
Ohio.
This is how.
He's in the summer.
I mean, seeing that score.
I mean, it's really a blessing
to play these boys and after
six years and this
happening, it just.
It's hard putting words at all.
It's crazy you had two
big touchdown receptions.
Bring me through those places.
I mean, I should make a big play.
I mean, first quarter it was hard to get.
I'm gonna make a play here.
Saw a ball in the air.
First one had to go up and get it.
The second one I knew saving the bite.
So I went back,
got open and the final pick.
I mean that's captain off 16,
zero four.
And oh I can't complain about that.
This is really
feel like bragging rights for
you guys. You feel like you're
on top of the city tonight
I feel on top tonight but we got it
working next week. It wasn't needed.
It's incredible.
After six years I get to experience
this at four years. Being a junior,
we'll come back for next year.
We're going back to back.
I appreciate it. It's
crazy, but I can't say that I'm.
That I'm surprised, you know,
I got a lot of faith in my team behind me.
This is the best group I've
ever played with period.
I knew this was gonna happen.
I'm not surprised at all.
It's crazy though.
This is ridiculous.
I can't even like put it in a word right now.
By y'all.
Y'all just don't know this is crazy.
You have that deep ball connection going
with chase couple times, you know,
just how did those plays come together.
I mean honestly we.
We scout him in film and stuff.
And we we we look at what they're running.
Basically the play broke down.
Chase made a play that's my God
chase made the .000 man I was trying
to make sure we get a penalty I
was like keep your helmets on all
that type of stuff so stay on the
field so won't get 15 but once it
hits zero I'm second at hands I'm
trying to hold in my excitement
like pick our heads up man like it's
not like it's 16 to nothing it's
not like it wasn't you know I'm
saying when the ball out really but.
And I'm just so proud of this team
and I'm so proud of this team.
That's you, that's you bring
the money back home wasn't
mean to bring the trouble. Man
I I never had the trophy so I can't
even say I'm bringing it back.
But that's all them up front.
You know, that's my front five last
chance Coach Rice group effort.
It's not just new group effort.
It's big, but we gotta understand.
We still got six games to play,
so on to the next. You know it
happened great on to the next one
in the field. Is this another step
where your goal is going to be things?
Sir, absolutely. Absolutely thank you for you
guys doing the history of the strawberry.
Everything you guys had to do to get here.
Just what are the emotions been like
since you guys saw that clock? Go 0.
I'm still letting it sink in right now I'm
I'm trying to warm up because I'm frozen
with the ice ice bath that I just got,
but you know, the thing about winning a
game like this is so important is because
they beaten us so many years in a row
and I know it means so much to this.
You know this whole community,
this rivalry but to our kids you know
they've they've really, you know,
haven't had a lot of success in the
last few years against this team.
They've really had our number,
and rightfully so because they
know they're big.
They're fast or strong, athletic,
and they're well coached.
But you know to to see it all come
together tonight and to and on top
of that to be able to pitch out a
shutout against a really potent.
Defense, I tell you it still hit me.
I'm so proud of our kids.
All the credit should be going to
them because man if it it takes those
guys to go out and execute for it to
happen. AJ and Nelson with a
real nice connection there and
a couple of plays and those guys
always really been, you know a
deep play threat for you.
Well they sure have this year that's
for sure and you know and I have to
give my wife a whole lot of credit
because as our as our boys track
coach here you know she's got kids
running track and it is really
worked on their speed and helped
kids like Chase improve his speed
to where you know he's he's a.
He's a top level runner.
And you know it shows out there on the field.
He's able to separate from people,
and that's just something you
can't coach as a football coach.
And so I, I gotta give a shout
out to my wife for for getting
him a lot faster in a year's time.
You grabbed the defensive staff,
but it seems like you got them
just every time you needed them.
After long drives,
it seemed like there was momentum.
Just what does that say about the
character you guys for for not
giving up on those series? Well,
you know what I'll say about that
is we got a lot smarter this year.
You know we we played assignment
football where as as as the year,
the years before you know we
would miss them assignments
and they break some big plays.
Honest and so you know,
we we kept on them about hey this
this is a team that's a machine and
they just keep doing what they do and
they do it real well so you can't get
antsy and you can't start improvising
or doing things that aren't your job.
If you do your job over and over and over,
you're give yourself a shot to win and
that's what happened at the end there.
The the rivalry here between us I
went to middle school with all those
guys so it it's not a game anymore
at this point it's it's personal.
So to me to have this trophy
just means everything.
League and he got momentum.
Yeah say about your team to
get out early and kind of control this game.
Yeah, we've worked. We worked all
summer all season before the game.
You know the goal was four
and no and we did it so.
The trophy, it wasn't even the
trophy back to your school.
Everything we did this for
the fans the fans came out.
They were loud. They were proud.
Happy to do this for them is the next step.
Your goal with it's another win and kind
of remain undefeated this year. Yeah,
five and five and knows the goal to do that.
Five and all right now. 05 and now.
We haven't been five and oh in 10 plus years.
You know, we haven't been
3-4 and Owen 10 plus years,
so this means everything to you know.
Keep winning.
Keep having fun.
Last question, how far can this team go?
As far as we can take it?
