Coach’s Comments:   

“The kids are mad about not making the playoffs when they were 8-1 and will play with some anger in them. They want to go out and prove they are a playoff team. We have a more competitive schedule. If we get the line moving, we can be a playoff team.” – Head Coach Andy Steinfeld
