Don't be stupid...can we stay on course? 8-3 should get us in. There was no sign that said who we had to beat or who we had to lose to. We have 3 losses, we need 8 wins. Stay focused, keep your grades and do the right thing in school. We need to beat McMahon plain and simple. Stay focused. Coach Stokes
