COACH’S COMMENTS
“… Always good to get a win on Senior Night. It’s been a tough stretch for us with three straight road games plus battling some injuries as well. Really proud of this group of seniors for sticking together and trusting this group of coaches in their final year.”
“… Robert Evans is a really good football player and as you can tell he makes us go. Him and Chase Thompson have started every game since they stepped on campus here at Tolsia and I’m not sure that has ever been done. That is a true testament to both players.”
“… We will practice next week and prepare like we are playing in the playoffs in a couple of weeks.”
