From Coach Brent Landrum: Friday night’s win was a complete team effort. The defense played an outstanding game. They controlled the line of scrimmage all night long. We had great contributions on special teams. The offense played a great first half. They struggled to get back in rhythm in the second half. I am very pleased with our performance given the fact that we had very little practice due to the hurricane. This week’s game versus Irving Cistercian will be a tough match up. They played in the SPC 3A championship game last year and they return their QB and RB. I expect a tough battle. I also expect my guys to meet the challenge.
