COACH JOSH GIBSON’S
COMMENTS: “The whole team stepped up after those first two Pittsburg scores. It is a good thing for us to win by 25 points over a team that is really good. Once we settled down, we played really good football. We are still getting better, taking steps and finding ourselves. I am proud of our kids and in how they keep competing.
“Ben (Harmon) had a huge game, and I think he is one of the best players in the district. He will beat you with his feet and put it in the air. Brett Walker had two huge catches tonight and has taken advantage of his opportunities. Tyler (Kelley) is a really good football player. You reap what you sow, and Tyler is a hard worker. He gets everything out of himself. Kamren (Woods) has five picks in seven games and that is a lot.”
