And you know what, I couldn't be any prouder of our guys.
Played as hard at the end as they did at the start. This was simply a physical mismatch of pretty epic proportions. Post-game comment from our junior QB were about "knowing how far we have to go to compete against those guys" and "starting to work now to get back here next year". That's a 17 year old who gets it, and there are never too many of those around.

The work to get back to the championship game began the day after the loss.
Tonight? We beat our crosstown arch-rival for the second time this season and the scoreboard says it all
