And I also witnessed Grundy and a lineman go up to Kade Neely as he was coming out at halftime and console him, class right there.

I hate that he had to go through that. He showed an immense heart by trying to go back out there. Honestly, I hoped that they were just using him as a decoy because everyone could see he was hurting. But, I know players like that, I am lucky enough to be the parent of one. They'll go all out until someone makes them stop. My hat is off to Kade Neely. He doesn't need a high school championship ring to show any of us that he's a winner. I wish him, and every kid that played their hearts out on the field yesterday nothing but the best. No one lost that game, but someone had to be declared the winner. I said in the preview thread that if Somerset came out, unafraid, and played their best that I'd be happy whatever the result. Honestly, I thought that Mayfield's experience would lead to the result that we had when time ran out, a 3-5 point win. Luckily we had 48 minutes and one play and that resulted in a 3 point Briar Jumper victory. The Somerset coaching staff deserves a huge amount of credit for hanging with one of the best staffs in the business. The rest of the credit goes to the huge heart that the players showed on that last drive and the whole game. Thank y'all, on both sides, for putting forth that kind of effort. It was truly awesome to watch. There were no losers out there.
