Comments: As coaches we thought our effort could have been a little better in the first half. That half proved too much to overcome the rest of the game. In the second half we gave up 14 points. The second half we played a little better and scored some points so that gave us some confidence. In the second game we thought our kids played very well. We connected on pass plays that set up scores for us. On the defensive side of the ball the kids tackled well and made some good plays. We were happy to come away with a win there.
