CV/Harrisburg: What they said

Legendary high school football coaches Tim Rimpfel (left) and George Chaump had a few memorable quotes Saturday following Harrisburg's 28-21 win over Rimpfel and the CV Eagles.

Enjoy.

Tim Rimpfel

When asked why he elected to go for the first down on fourth-and-2 from his own 38 in the second quarter: "I thought, 'Heck, we should be able to get 2 yards.' But, there we made a mistake and missed a (linebacker). That was frustrating."

Talking about the offense's inability to move the ball consistently: "We just made fundamental mistakes that we should not make. Certain linemen had to block down on a linebacker and they blocked out. Why? I don't know."

George Chaump

In regards to the third quarter when the Cougars drew half of their 14 penalties: "We had some bad breaks and penalties. The third quarter was a mess. My heavens, if it was like that the whole game we would have had 1,000 yards in penalties. I've never seen so many penalties."

Reaction to CV going for it on fourth down in the second quarter: "I was a little surprised. That's uncharacteristic of Rimpfel. He's a conservative fellow. He doesn't like to gamble. He still has the first nickel he earned. I don't know what got into him."
