COACH’S COMMENTS
“… Hats off to Greenup Co. They came ready to play and executed their game plan well. Early on I didn’t think our focus was where it needed to be and it showed on both sides of the ball.” They made big play after big play. We made too many mental mistakes tonight, We have to get back to work during the bye week and get ready for Raceland.” We are going to work to get better and stop the silly penalties and mistakes that we keep making. Back to the fundamentals during the bye week and see if we got any young kids that might be ready to play, will be a good evaluation period for our team.”
