Coach’s Take
By Coach Chase Courtney
“It was a great and exciting high school football game with a great atmosphere. Coach Maddox has done a great job of building a really good atmosphere. Both teams had trouble stopping each other. Mize is a really big and physical team.
I told the team immediately after the Mendenhall game, we had to learn from it but we couldn’t let them beat us twice. I thought our kids did a great job of channeling that message.
It’s no secret that we have suffered a really unusual amount of injuries, especially on the offensive line. We are going to coach up the guys we have and keep pushing forward. The season is long, and we just need to keep fighting.”
