again couple days definitely district few games hard mean till tough wins wrapped
I know we wrapped up the No. 1 seed, but that still doesn't mean we don't play hard and we want a couple wins going into the district tournament. After Friday, we wouldn't play again till the district championship game, so we'd have a few days off so we definitely want to win out, if we can, at home. I mean, they're going to be two tough games back-to-back.

That got us out of a hole. We had some good blocks by Devin Hudson, Brandon Casteel and T.J. Casteel to spring him. All of our running backs ran hard. Our lead blockers, linemen and tight ends did a great job of blocking at the point of contact.

I love to see Tony doing so well at Leeds because, when I was coaching in England, and particularly during my time at Hull, they were always the team everyone hated, ... The perception was of Leeds being the millionaire club who never quite did it.
