It's controversial because when they started they told us it was a grass-roots effort and would be done entirely by volunteers in the community.

Devon really picked it up on the offensive end for us. It was a great defensive effort, holding a good team like that to 40 points.

It was the best game we've played all year. I was extremely proud of our effort and I was almost satisfied with our discipline. We played like what a Branford High School team should play like. We showed a lot of heart and desire.

We've got some rogue rescuers working out there who are not part of the coordinated effort,

We dug too big a hole to get out of. I'm really proud of our effort and the fact we battled back so well. But when you're down that much in the fourth quarter, it's tough to come back.

It was all about effort. We don't lay down for anybody. We felt like we had something to prove. The paper said we would give up 24 points and we knew we weren't going to let that happen.
