“It was big for our kids, to do what they did Friday night. It was easy to fall apart, down 21-8. We talked about that during the timeouts. We wanted to regain our focus. Once we got our focus back, it was awesome to see our kids respond like that.

“We preach that the guys do the little things all the time. We knew because of us, we were in the situation we were in, down 21-8. If you keep playing hard, good things will happen. You just can’t get caught up in the moment. Play-by-play, put the last play behind you and move forward.

“Damian Henderson is doing everything we’re asking of him. He’s worked extremely hard. He has great feet, great vision and great hands. We were looking at his stats the other day and they’re unbelievable where we’re at in the season. He has some lofty goals to accomplish this year and I just told him to make it happen. That’s exactly what he’s doing. It’s his playground out there.”
