“As a coach I have to do a better job of helping the team succeed. I am proud of how the team responded to its’ first true test of adversity. We overcame a ten point hole to actually take the lead in the 4th quarter. We just couldn’t finish the deal,” state Coach Sanders. “I am looking forward to the challenge of winning a district championship with a victory in Crystal City in our final game.”
