\"This is a big win for us in that it makes week 10 mean something,\" Mariakis said. \"We know that if we win our final regular-season game we're in the playoffs, but we're not giving up on the region championship just yet.\" \"It was a heck of a war out there, and we knew it would be,\" Ridgeland coach Mark Mariakis said. \"If you aren't a true football player, this game was not for you. We had to match them blow for blow. I'm proud of our coaches for making some adjustments at halftime to slow them down.\"

\"They have to bring sometimes eight guys in the box to stop us, and when I roll out and have the option to pass it to Vonn, it puts the defense in a bind,\" said the 5-foot-11, 205-pound [Darrell Bridges]. \"I didn't mind the switch because I knew I could still make plays at either point on the field and this is what's best for our offense.\" \"It was a turning point for us,\" [Mark Mariakis] said. \"As young and inexperienced as we were, this could have gone the other way, but it became the moment we came together and matured. As coaches we're about developing young men first and we hope to win football games along the way. Sometimes love is shown through discipline.\" \"That spoke volumes for him and the other guys,\" said Mariakis, whose team rebounded for a solid 26-14 win over LaFayette before downing Southeast Whitfield 31-10 to improve to 2-1 in Region A-AAA. \"It has worked out well and it's still evolving. What it does is get the ball in our playmakers' hands, and it gives us the best chance to win.\"

\"It was not a great showing in the second half,\" said a frustrated Stoker. \"The kids are disappointed, too, and we'll see how they respond tomorrow. That will be the key.\" \"We were up 10 and just couldn't put them away,\" Panthers coach David Stoker said. \"We had several opportunities, but we couldn't cash them in, and then the pressure got to us. We struggle against the full-court press and we're going to have to improve or we're going to have a hard time. We've got to learn how to handle it.\"

\"We talked about that all week,\" [Darrell Bridges] said after scoring the clinching touchdown among his 28 carries, \"that we may be 1-4, but the region championship still goes through us no matter what.\" \"You can't turn over the ball over seven times and expect to beat a team like Ridgeland,\" LaFayette coach Tad Gable said. \"Give them all the credit -- they forced us into a lot of those mistakes and took advantage of them.\" \"We've been close,\" Ridgeland coach Mark Mariakis said after his team improved to 2-4, \"and we've played some good teams. But we're still the champs until someone takes it from us.\"

\"We wanted to be different than past groups and get to the second round,\" [Darrell Bridges] said. \"Ridgeland always seemed to be one-and-done, and it was a big chip on our shoulder to get past this first round, and we want to start a new tradition of getting past the second round.\" \"We knew we were going to get to this point, but a lot of people doubted us and now we're believers,\" Bridges said. \"We made history. We're happy about it and we want to make more progress.\" \"These guys have come through a lot of adversity, and to advance it's hats off the to players and coaches,\" [Mark Mariakas] said. \"Our defense played lights out tonight.\"
