Coach’s Comments (Brent Kucera)
- They were just bigger and stronger then us and had more bodies. They were the better team
- The best team we have played this year.
- It hurts losing this years senior class. We only had 6 of them but they were a high quality 6 guys. They did a lot for this team and helped us win 10 consecutive games. They finish their careers going undefeated at home the last two years. 12-0
- We couldn’t get our run game established and we were forced to pass in situations that we didnt want to.
- Turnovers also hurt us.
- The were a senior dominated team with 17…we only had 4 playing in the game and that makes a huge difference.
