Coach
Tony Valastro - "I
saw a lot of good things from the young linemen: Dylan Kramer,
Colton Dryden, Arick Hartman, and Tanner Mazzola all sophomores. The
offensive line exhibited good hustle, few penalties, fair execution.
They were led by senior Carlos Trevino. I also saw plenty of things
that we need to work on if we want to reach the goals that we have set
for the team.
Offensive player of the game was awarded to Tramain Thomas who rushed
for 89 yards, 4 tds and did a great job running the offense. Trey
Lambert also did an awesome job running the offense at the quarterback
spot. Donte Raymond had a super night, rushing for 118 yards and 1
td. It was a great win.
Coach Rusty Cauthern - "Defensive
Player of the Week goes to Isaiah White who had 6 solo tackles, 6
assists, one interception, and one fumble recovery. Isaiah has been
doing a tremendous job leading our defense. He has had a tremendous
attitude. Brian Vigers also had an outstanding game versus Shepherd.
He led our defensive line in tackles, including 3 tackles for a loss.
The entire defense did a great job understanding what Shepherd was
trying to accomplish on offense. Furthermore, the defense really
pursued the football and accomplished our goal of 959 (9 people within 5
yards of the football when it is tackled 90% of the time)."
