“I don't know why we thought it was the game-winning score with seven and a half minutes left. Then we go out and play defense as horribly as we can play.”
“We play great defense in the third quarter, go into the fourth quarter and give up two scores, I can't explain it. This game was the worst exhibition of tackling at Nelson that I've seen in a long time.”
“We had five kids in the finals and three won titles. Washington also had five kids in the finals and had three champions. The difference was our overall depth.”
“I think it's going to come down to a three-way heat between Keystone Oaks, Washington and Bethel Park. And I don't see any of the three having an advantage over the other two. The key will, once again, be team depth.”
“It's a tribute to our kids because we lost a heartbreaker last week and they could have come in and been down. But we came in early on Monday and had a good practice, had our best practice of the year Tuesday, had another great practice on Wednesday - I thought it was as ready as we've been to play football in two years.”
