COACH’S COMMENTS
“.. Anytime it’s homecoming week they will be challenges with everything that is going on at school and their will be plenty of distractions and they are focused on everything but football. They have a good team and were will prepared tonight and gave us all that we wanted. Landon Adkins #52 can really play, he might be the best player that we have played all year and we have played Wayne and Tug Valley. Watching him and Robert Evans go at it was a real treat.”
“… Next week is a big week for us with it being Senior night and a good Grundy team coming to town. It should be a dandy of a ballgame. We will have our hands full. They have a really good team and quarterback who is really fast. We have to take care of business at home.”
