Coach Valastro - "I was really pleased with the way we played in all phases of the game. The defense was incredible. Special teams did a fine job, and the O line came ready to play. We still made some mistakes, but we are getting better.

Offensive player of the game was awarded to Vance McDonald. Vance was outstanding at blocking, hustling, and catching the football. Tramain Thomas also had a great night at quarterback. He rushed for 114 yards on 8 carries and 3 touchdowns all in the first half. Carrington, Raymond, Lambert, and Hallmark all had notable offensive performances."

Coach East - "The kids played hard the whole game, and the starters were able to get out of the game early. I wish all the games were like this one."

Coach Cauthern - "Overall we played solid defense all night.  We stress winning the line of scrimmage and allowing our linebackers and free safety to run and make plays.  For the most part that is exactly what happened.  The kids are doing a great job of understanding how we all fit together, and we are getting better every week.  We still have a few things to improve on, but the kids understand that.  It is exciting to see our kids really want to shut people down and not give up a yard on defense.  We have stressed the fact that playing great defense will help us accomplish our goal and the kids are buying in completely to that belief."
