We were able to do that and were able to be quite efficient offensively and aggressive defensively. Most important, we made it through this game without any injuries. As we head into the last two games of the year, we have two tough opponents in West Point-Beemer and Boone Central. If we want to win the district, we must practice and prepare well and carry our preparation into each ballgame.”
