[gameday20]

I have been so impressed with this cougar team these past two weeks. These boys have stepped up and showed leadership and heart like a true team. I am so proud of them!

This game was an exciting one. Defense never gave up…Cornett, Frazier, and N. Adams were warriors and the defense as a whole stepped up big when mercer was down in the red zone. These boys make it count when they need to and I look forward to watching them lay it all on the line for the whitley county REMATCH

Charlie Banks played with more heart and determination than any highs school kid I have watched. He truly leads his team to battle Friday night after Friday night. He never gave up last night and didn’t let the small mistakes get to him. He is a special kid that is respected by his teammates, coaches, peers, and fans. He literally did not know where he was last night after taking such a hard hit….and hit the game winning field goal to seal the deal for his team. Big shout outs to M. Smith and R. Shepherd for being clutch at the end to set up the field goal for Banks.

Also wanted to comment on dustin brown. This kid has grown and developed into a huge factor on this cougar offense and defense. He is an impact player and a great kid! Keep up the work brown.

Last night was special…..these kids showed what they are capable of doing. Should be an exciting one next Friday. GO COUGARS!!!
