First off, thanks to Reitz for remembering me. Even though I've been trying to refrain from posting this year, I do read up every week here on the coacht.
And you are right, I couldn't be happier. The kids have finally figured out that it doesn't matter what name is on the front of that jersey. They made too many mistakes last week against Peabody, otherwise we may have been talking about two big upsets in a row.
Tonight our defense locked down. We had their QB running for his life...sacked him four or five times. We frustrated them and by the time the fourth quarter came around they didn't know what to do next.
Our offense was definitely lacking tonight, but we did enough to get the win. Defense has really been our focus point this year and they really clamped down tonight.
First win against a ranked team since we won at Peabody when they were #2 in '92. I think six wins gets us in for sure, but instead of a six seed I think we may very well get a four and host a game! We hold the tie breaker over Hillcrest and McKenzie losing last night helps us too. But we will worry about all that later.
I'm just proud of those kids, especially the seniors on Senior Night. Good group...they deserve it!
