COACH’S COMMENTS
“… So proud of our kids for the effort in a tough year for them. The seniors have showed a ton of heart all season long with everything that has went down. All seven of them hold a special place in my heart. My son Dylan and Dakota Blackburn have been with me since they started playing, Landon Spence has really come into his own this season, Devin Honeycutt came to us late but has been a pleasant surprise, the two twins have been so steady for us, and Hunter Ramey had back to back season ending injuries which is brutal for him and us.”
“…We knew it was going to be a tough game to play in with the conditions and we told them the team that limits turnovers would win the game. And we did just enough to give us a chance to win and another chance to play next week.”
