COACH’S COMMENTS
“… Proud of our team for going on the road and beating a good Mason County team.”
“… Particularly proud of our defense. To limit them like we did, speaks volumes of our players and defensive staff.”
“… Offensively, I felt like we were able to grind out drives with them, the way they were playing defense, they weren’t going to give up explosives. This will help us as we prepare our team for November.”
“… Still need to clean up penalties. We will enjoy this one this weekend and turn our attention to Powell County on Sunday.”
