COACH’S COMMENTS
“ …Our team is very humbled by the post season honors they continue to receive. Multiple players were selected first and second team as well as honorable mention from the Eastern Kentucky Conference. When the team performs well throughout the year league coaches take notice. It is nice to see these guys get the recognition that was earned.”
“ … What an honor to be able to coach and be around these kids every day. I have said it numerous times, but they are even better people than they are football players. What a great year for our team.”
