BEHIND THE WHISTLE
"Great team win tonight. There was a moment just after half when we were up by nine. I told the guys these are the moments when teams have to make a choice. The defense stepped up in the second half, our offense overcame adversity and finished the game with Zeb Dyer at the helm, and our special teams units were solid tonight. Proud of the players and coaches!" --Head Coach Cleive Adams
