Jim Boyd Quotes


You look at him and you think, 'Oh my gosh, I don't know if I can count on him,' and then he starts running with the ball and no one is going to bring him down... He runs so hard and so determined to get into the end zone and that's his trademark. - Jim Boyd



What really sparked us was we ran an option on the right side and Brandon pitched it at the last second and it went to Chris Newman and we thought he was out of bounds, but he turns it up field and goes 50 yards for a touchdown. That gives us momentum and I think the next drive we get down in kicking range and big Joe does a great job with a 37-yard field goal and that really pumps us up. - Jim Boyd



We're optimistic and hopeful the court will approve the sale. We're hopeful Dill's will be open by this summer. - Jim Boyd



We tell Brandon he has one person to beat. We feel there's going to be some kind of blitz or seepage and he has to be able to recognize that and get away from that. When you do that, someone's going to be open in the secondary and Chris was wide open. - Jim Boyd



We need to have a good election and get more people that are willing to work hard for this body so that all the work we are doing now can be further dispersed. - Jim Boyd



We need a little payback for Storm Lake last year. They kind of ruined our season and we haven't forgotten that. We want to show people we can play well against them. They're a very good team, a very physical team. They like to throw a lot, so it's going to give us a different set of problems. We want to rise to the occasion and come back with a victory in week two (of district play). - Jim Boyd



We just didn't have the ball. I think at one point they had the ball for 20 minutes and we had it a total of six... When we got the ball we had terrible field position, so it was a situation where we couldn't do what we wanted to do. We struggled for quite a bit of that ballgame, but the kids came through when we had to come through. - Jim Boyd



We got a little kick down the sideline and they were converging on the middle... The ball went to the sideline and they didn't jump on the ball. Caleb hustled down and recovered the ball and here we are with the ball inside their 20-yard line. - Jim Boyd
