Pleasant Grove’s Josh Gibson— “Gladewater has been a great football team ever since I have gotten here. They have been state ranked every year. This year, they just haven’t put together four, consistent quarters. They have played well in one half, but have not been as dominant in the other half. They played Gilmer really well and were up big on Spring Hill. They are really good if they can put together four quarters of football. They are physical on offense and like to run the football. Their coaches know what they’re doing.
“We focus on growing and getting better each week. We have prepared for two different defensive schemes so that our offense will be ready no matter what and will execute.”
