COACH’S COMMENTS
“… This is my 33rd year of coaching and I have never seen anything like it. Three or four years ago we went to Mingo Central with 13 ball players and finished the game with 10 and lost 60-0 but we finished the game. It’s not in our DNA to quit. My hats off to them and I feel for them but our kids came to play and we preached physicality all week long.”
“… We had the best week of practice that we have had so far. Last week before the Wayne game we had some kids sick throughout the week and then in the game we dealt with some stuff as well. No excuses though. Would love to have Wayne later on in the year, you know playing them you better strap it up.”
“… I thought our kids were ready to play, we changed a few things up this week and put in some wrinkles. Would have love to keep playing and get some more kids into some live game action but it just wasn’t meant to be. We didn’t get a second scrimmage before Wayne and then this game got cut short so we are still a work in progress.”
