COACH BARRY NORTON’S COMMENTS: “We knew going in that Lakeside would be a defensive ballgame; they do a good job on defense. It was a very competitive game, and there were some great situations we had to work through during the game. We’re proud of how our kids handled it.

“We had some mistakes; we had a special teams mistake that we typically don’t have. A mishandled snap on a punt gave them great field position and a chance late, but our defense got it stopped. We were able to run the clock out for the win.

“It was a very good performance from our football team, from a competitive standpoint. We still have a lot of work to do, and we’ll continue working on getting better.”
