“… We have faced some adversity the last few games and I’m really proud of our guys for that. To win three straight in the road is really impressive. Coach Maynard and this place jumping tonight. Great atmosphere to play in, it felt like a section championship or region championship environment. They had community night and has things going down here right now.”

“ Last Saturday we went to Mingo Central and beat them after they beat us at home by one point. These games are really going to help us when the post season rolls around.”
