Congrats to central. Their defense has been their go to all year and it showed up tonight. I think ours did too. But we had a lot of missed opportunities on offense. Those plays happen. I’m disappointed, more for those kids who worked hard all year. I’m not gonna blame the coaches, I’m not gonna blame anybody. It was ours to lose and we did. You can’t give up two TDs on offense to a team like central. But it happens. It’s life. It’s how you respond to failure that makes you. The coaching staff can be blamed by some of you, but how quickly they forget this same staff just outcoached a more talented Boyle team. One who has a hall of game coach and an ex college coach. People say it all the time, but I honestly feel that the best team lost. But no one cares about that. It’s just the hardware. But these kids still accomplished more than most thought they would, and I’m proud of them. Coaches are like kids in a way, they learn as the game goes along too. I think this will be invaluable to our staff. I think we’ll be down a tad next year but after that we have 3 solid groups coming up and this experience can be put to use. These kids will have their heads down, but they shouldn’t. 99.9% of the other teams in the state would kill to be where they were. It’s been a fun ride and I’m gonna miss watching Estep, goose, and all of this defense grind it out on fridays. But the highs are ever as high as they seem and the lows never as low. The future is bright for this red bunch in the next few years.

Well said my friend
