COACH’S COMMENTS
“…Really proud of our kids and how much better they’ve gotten as the season progressed. We didn’t understand how to compete early on. We have a good bit of 1st and 2nd year players so the game started slowing down for them as the season went on. We made some adjustments a few games in and the kids caught fire.
“…Four of these last five games (Paintsville, Raceland, Greenup and Prestonsburg) we have competed until the final snap with some of the better programs in E. KY. The kids have learned to embrace adversity, stick together and finish! We’ve become a strong “family!”
