I wanted to run the ball and that is normally what we do in Cromwell. But Dave Foster, my assistant, told me that Hedin was ready and that he'd make the kick.

What a catch by Franko. Cody got him the ball and then Franko had to go up and over guys to get it. It was a great play.

I thought when they got the punt return that it was going to be tough for us to keep them out of the end zone. If they had scored then it would probably have been too hard for us to come back, but I give our guys credit – they found a way to get it done when they needed to.

Cromwell spreads you out and they air it out. They run a lot of timing routes and their receivers have speed and after they catch the ball, they can take off. They are the real deal. I think they're in the same category as Hyde.

And when it did come back, it wasn't in the spot she was normally accustomed to getting the ball. She's a prime player, she showed she could shoot at the end of the game. She's a great passer.

Normally we make that big run and run off and hide, but Serena would have no part of that. Serena played hard and they have a lot of seniors who play with a lot of pride. They came at us hard, but we expected that. But there was no doubt that we wanted to take advantage of our size advantage and pound it inside ... and I thought that was the difference.
