We were down two points at the half and if you want to call it battling adversity, call it that because that's what we were able to do. Our defense was fantastic.

This team accomplished much more than anyone, including me, expected. They overcame adversity and lots of youthfulness and did a fantastic job.

We were a little sloppy, but we'll take it,

That was one of the first things I looked at, ... We're the 78th team in Class 6A and Cypress Bay is the largest. We get to go against them, and they're one of the teams to beat.

It just builds on our confidence. It tells me what I wanted to know: That our team has a lot of heart. We made mistakes . . . and we still beat a quality program.

Special teams were big for us tonight.
