box close committing daring eight gibson kids offensive running southern stop
Gibson Southern was committing eight in the box to try to stop our running game, kind of daring us to pass. We had some kids make some big plays, but I still don't think we are even close to where we should be on the offensive line.

As tight as the game was for a while there, we felt we could control the clock and control the line of scrimmage, ... We didn't want to do anything that would give Tell City a potential big play going the other way.
resort second win
We wanted to come out and win the second half. That is an old cliche, but sometimes you've got to resort to that. And that's where we were at halftime.

We started out with a good number of folks, and then some of the hotels nearby couldn't support the people coming in. ... There is a lot of overflow.
gave mental played protect quarter second short turn
We played well for about a quarter and a half, but after that we didn't play well at all. When we didn't protect on that punt in the second quarter and gave them a short field, that really started to turn things. And then, when we got tired, we started making mental mistakes.
