NOTABLE PERFORMANCES
FROM THE COACH
- "We got ourselves in some situations that we shouldn't have been in, and we just didn't make enough plays."
- "They're a good team, we didn't take advantage of all the takeaways we had, which is a little disappointing. We had a blocked kick, and I think we turned them over four times and when you do that you should have a better than average chance to win. We just didn't get it done at the end."
- "I can't fault our kids, if you think about, we have a lot of freshmen that are playing. I'm glad that we had a great showing, but you don't get a medal for second place in football unfortunately."
- "Our defense played great, which was awesome that we were able to do that. I thought our offensive line blocked pretty well."
NEXT UP
- Tabor heads down Highway 56 for a matchup with local rival McPherson on Saturday. Kickoff is set for 6:00pm.
