COACH’S COMMENTS
“… Give Grundy all of the credit they are well coached and came to play. We had our chances but we just couldn’t cash in. We are so beat up and lost a couple more tonight. I haven’t seen anything like it to be honest with you, but like we have said all year it’s next man up.”
“… What a great group of seniors that got honored tonight. They didn’t win a game as freshman and sophomores and to stick around shows a lot about them. We won some games last year and to be right on the cusp of making the playoffs this year is huge and we owe a lot to this senior class.”
