Blackcat Head Coach Robert Jones was asked about the game with Stafford and his reflection on the season.
“My reflection from the season is what I expected with losing a large senior class and playing in a tough district like ours - we were going to struggle,” Jones said.
“But I’m proud of my kids and coaches for coming to work every day at practice and competing every week to get better.
“The game against Stafford went a lot like all the previous games - we would find a way to shoot ourselves in the foot and the opponent would capitalize off it,” Jones remarked.
“We will be very experienced next year with so many guys returning next year.
“We are going to have a great off season and without a doubt I really believe we will get one of those playoff spots next year,” he noted.
“We are returning at least nine on each side of the ball, so the leadership will be there that we did not have this year in the locker room.”
