“It was a game of domination. Offensively we consistently ran the ball against them with success. Defensively we held them to under 100 yards. We couldn’t ask for a better effort. But we’re not done yet. Big thanks to Bobcat Nation for helping us out, they got us so hyped up,” says Clay Brumbaugh, a senior team captain.
