I thought our kids played really hard (last Friday) and it was a tough physical game, I thought we played rather well on defense most of the night.

However, self inflicted wounds such as penalties and turnovers hurt us especially on offense, we must clean those up in order to win.

Foard is a much improved team, they have a good offensive line and a tough Wing-T offensive scheme and are very sound on defense.

We must do a better job of executing and getting the ball to our athletes in space to have a chance to win.
