COACH'S THOUGHTS

"Tonight, we dug ourselves a hole early, which cost us the game. We were still very dominant, especially in the second half, and deserved more from the game, but that is football sometimes. The boys walked out of that game full of confidence and excited to continue conference play on Saturday."
-- head coach Jamie Davies
