Coach's Quote 

"That one is going to sting for a while. First half we were having fun and we executed offensively, and we played pretty good on defense. Second half a couple things didn't go correctly-then we stop having fun and start to force things. We never stopped playing hard we judt forgot what got us there. I've got to do a better job of keeping us in the moment! - Coach Brad Willems
