"It feels good when you're a player, it feels good when you're a coach."
"There is no difference - and the losses hurt the same whether you're a player or coach."
"Honestly, it feels great that [the coaching staff] put that much trust into me to put it in the end zone. And I'm also thankful for all the coaches and also my linemen. They did their best. They pushed their limits."
Carson Palmer returned to his alma mater as head coach after volunteering and adjusted to the logistical differences of high school gamedays without NFL sideline support. Santa Margarita rallied to a 33-27 overtime victory over Corona Centennial at Trabuco Hills High. Freshman Adrian Petero rushed nine times for 75 yards and scored the winning one-yard touchdown after senior linebacker Leki Holani batted down a fourth-down pass to set up the drive. Palmer's overtime playcalling secured the win after the Huskies erased a 13-point lead in the fourth quarter. The defense forced three interceptions and a fumble early.
