Watch interviews after Patterson's win over Hughson

At the end of the day, it just came down to who wanted more, who wanted more. That game, you know, props to Houston, but it should not have been that close. So that's something we've got to bounce back to adjust to. But I think next we'll bounce back at home. But, you know, to have them on my side, have them on my team, have a reliable receiver. Caden Lozano, Jace Johnson, Giovanni Jefferson, Jeremiah Byrd, Robert Rosales. You know, it's great. It's great to have the reliability on another team. So when they load the box, they load the box for a step. I couldn't get nothing. You know, Houston just loaded the box, and they got me there. Second half, you know, now you have to come cover our guys. Who are you going to pick? You're not going to pick Caden? All right, you got to go pick Caden? All right, go throw it to Jace. You're going to go block Jace? All right, cool. We're going to go to Jeremiah Byrd. You want to go block Caden, too? We got Giovanni. We got weapons all over the place. So, you know, once they shut the pass down, all right, cool. Run, run, run. Drive, drive, drive. Touchdown. That's what it's like. In that moment, that was a game-defining drive. That was – I challenged the offense. We all did say this was the drive that's going to win the game. Either we're going to take all the time or we're going to score, and that was going to be, you know, the difference. Even if they were going to be putting a huge bind because of the one timeout and about a minute to go, you know, towards that end. So we felt that was the game-defining drive, and that's when – honestly, that's when Alex is his best. And we knew that when we scheduled it was going to be a great game. And then just, you know, history. I mean, this team, Houston, we've – Patterson's played Houston the second-most times out of anybody else. Eskwon's number one because we've been – we were traditionally in the TVL for a long time. So Houston's our second-highest played opponent. It's a traditional rivalry that we may not have had for a long time, but it's definitely getting renewed with this type of game on the schedule for two years. The new realignment projecting us into the VOL Capital Division, it's like, okay, you know, this is where we're going to be. And I told Coach King, I was like, this is a great matchup. We're going to have great games from here on out.
